  1. Build’em exactly like before, only make them the tallest buildings on Earth; taller than Burj Dubai, Taipei 101, Petronas Towers, or Sears Tower.

  2. Currently Serving in Iraq, with 3 additional tours both here and Afghanistan. I grew up looking at the Twin Towers and their destruction drives me to do what I do. Rebuilding them is the way America can show we are not swayed by terrorists…WE WILL PREVAIL!

    NO FEAR!!!

  3. I believe that the greatest tribute to those who died, and the strongest message we can send their murderers, can be achieved by returning the towers to their original glory. So much has changed as a result of the attacks, and I think that we need to bring things back to the way they were, to show the terrorists that we will not be swayed by their evil. Building an “art peice” on that site would not have the same impact, and would still leave me feeling hollow when I look at the skyline.

  4. My fellow countrymen, it is unthinkable to not re-build these fabulous symbols of American might, innovation, and the inner strength that we all have. They symbolize what’s great about all of us -everyone. Lets do it. – LT Hayes

  6. The Towers need to go back up. Nothing less will do to discourage the enemy, to show that all they do will come to nothing.

  7. The Twin Towers partner to create New York’s disctinct skyline. Let us rebuild them; for their subtle beauty, glory, and elegance will suffocate the evil of terrorist acts. May our silent towers of strength deafen the cowardly outbursts of Al-Qaeda.

  8. Pre-2001 exterior with viable helio pads on roofs and the appropriate floors commemoratively marked.
    Interior updated to the height of fashion complete with elevator walls that act as memorials.

  9. Some standing monument that has no other purpose than to memorialize those innocent victims, would serve to honor the memory of the lives lost in that great tragedy, but to rebuild says to the bastards who would like to see more people die in that fashion that we will always come back; that they cannot destroy forever that which we endeavor to create or the way in which we choose to live and work, which is a far greater testament to the souls of those great Americans.

  10. Build 5 of them at escalating levels, so the 3rd one is the highest..then they precede to go back down. Kinda like a middle finger.

  11. I agree…let’s make New York, New York again! I believe seeing the Twin Towers back in that familiar skyline would unite the country (which has become evermore divided since then) and show the world that we will not change or bend to anyone’s will. It would provide healing and perhaps some closure to one of the most horrific events our country has ever endured. Did they not repair the Pentagon? If flight 93 had hit the White House, would it not have been rebuilt? Let us do the right thing now!

  12. The terrorists knocked down the towers. REBUILDING them EXACTLY as they were would be a slap in the Terrorists’ collective faces. It would be a statement, telling them that no matter what they do, they cannot stop us…EVER.

  13. What better way to stand up to cowardly aggression?

    Rebuild! Rebuild bigger and better!

    Where do I send my contribution to this effort?

  14. The Twin Towers represented the ideals of the United States as well as anything. A place for unrestrained capitalism conducted by individuals from nearly every country on this planet.We need this symbol back and in the truest American fashion let’s rebuild them taller and stronger than any structures this world has ever known!

  15. If we do not rebuild the symbols that Osama Bin Laden was so keen to destroy, then he ultimately wins. Rebuilding them – at least as tall as they were before – is essential to National pride, National Honor – and is the best way to honor the fallen.

  16. Put the Towers back! Add a floor for an appropriate memorial, but the Towers must go back. We must show that we can indeed be knocked down by a surprise attack, but we are America and we will be back, bigger and stronger than before. The Towers were chosen as targets because they typified the United States. Any ‘alternative’ design for the WTC will simply become the Osama bin Laden memorial. Stand firm! Rebuild the Towers!

  17. When i think of New York City, the first thoughts that hit my mind are The Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Madison Sqaure Garden, and The World Trade Center. What would happen if the other buildings were destroyed? Would we rebuild them? Of course we would. That goes the same for The World Trade Center. We should rebuild them to let the terrorists know that no matter how hard you hit us, no matter how hard u put us down, we always get back up, were america, we never stay down.

  18. It occurs to me that a hundred years ago, this would not even have been a question. Of course they should be rebuilt. Exactly as before. No taller, no bigger. The act of destroying the the Towers is a symbol, as is the act of rebuilding them just like they were. I don’t care about sending the message. I care about rebuilding them so people can stop living in fear. Maybe one day when people look at the skyline of New York, instead of pain, they’ll feel hope.
