REBUILD

I was only 9 years old when 9/11 happened and I didn't understand just how great the devastation, the severity of how detrimental it was to our country until I grew older. The more I learned about 9/11, the heavier my heart and chest felt with grief for those who lost loved ones and friends in the attack. It brought America to its knees, closer to God, and to each other. 9/11 was a day everyone became a New Yorker. I've always been sentimental and I don't think the Freedom Tower does the NY skyline justice compared to what Manhattan could have in rebuilding taller and stronger Twin Towers. I think that it would also bring some sort of release and deliver the perfect slap in the face to terrorists! It would scream, "We won. Go to hell!"

The Twin Towers brought the NYC skyline to life, not only people died that day the lower part of Manhattan did too losing part of its iconic symbol. The only way to fully restore the NYC skyline and heal lower Manhattan is to build back the Twin Towers, we don't need new we need the same but better. NYC will never be the same with One but fully restored with Two.

I Am not from New York City nor have i ever been but i would love to visit and move there one day. I Consider myself a New Yorker no matter what. & I Say the Twin Towers need to be Rebuilt its only right. the New York City Skyline does not look the same with out them. feels like something is missing please consider it. many of us Americans & New Yorkers want them rebuilt

Re-building The Twin Towers is the only way America will truly heal from the horrors of 9/11. Re-building The Twin Towers will show the world how strong America is, it will show the whole world that no one can ever harm America, it will be a sign of strength and power.
Bring the Twin Towers back!

It's really a disgrace that some of these elected officials abuse their power and ignore the popular decision to rebuild the twin towers as they WERE before, and go on design this piece of crap. Larry Silverstein for example, in the wake of 9/11, promised to "rebuild the twin towers as they were" this isn't what the looked like at all!

The greatest city in the world, the two most iconic buildings in it and more importantly the people who were affected by 9/11 deserve a true comeback.The only way to truly redefine lower Manhattan or NYC is to rebuild the twin towers or at the very least build a second freedom tower or 2 WTC.

I have always been fascinated by the twin towers. Very sad that they are gone. Please bring them back.

I'm terribly sorry that I never got a chance to see the twin towers in person and the terrorists (Bush and co.), have succeeded in bringing them down for their oil profits in Iraq and Afghanistan and they have stripped us of our freedom, rights, and all together way of life. To not rebuild the towers is in my mind not even an option. 1 wtc! WTF we need 1 and 2 wtc and I don't mean twin freedom towers. Not rebuilding the towers is a 100% victory for those who brought them down! Btw, we aren't free.

TTA Note: We used to remove politically slanted comments to keep the focus where it belongs and to discourage people from treating this petition as a right/left bulletin board. But now, all we edit out is inflammatory hate speech. The rest speaks for itself.

Right now, as it stands, the terrorists have won. They've effectively struck fear into us enough that the government will not allow these towers to be rebuilt. Why on Earth should we give the terrorists what they desire? We must respond with strength and resilience, and the most effective way of doing so is rebuilding the WTC exactly as it was before. This would not only show the terrorists that we're not afraid of them and their threats, but it would best heal the wounds of those who had established those two towers as a symbol of American freedom and might. No other symbol can represent this feeling better. I believe rebuilding as it was is the only thing left we can do to make sure the 3000 people slain on that day did not die in vain.

It's simple, really. If they want to rebuild the Twin Towers, just put the North Tower in the north pool, and the south in the south pool. It would also be nice if they added the Mariott hotel again. #RebuildtheTwinTowers

Rebuild the towers! The new Freedom tower is no where near as good as the old Twin Towers. The Freedom tower is offensive to 9/11 families because it was a horrible replacement for the old towers.

I look up at those towers on old pictures and realize that they may never come back. I for one really do not like that idea.

REBUILD the Twin Towers they showed that we stayed strong and tall we need them back!! All my life i have wanted to work in those buildings. Bring them back America!! David Sanchez Alonso

we do need to rebuild the twin towers because this new 'freedom tower' is nothing more then a glass stick we need our skyline back to the way it was.

New York is a home a way from home. I'd love to see some twin towers the next time I "go home."
I don't want to see a great big piece of glass sticking out of the ground.

Seeing these two towers again in the skyline of New Yorm would show the world how strong we actually are.

Even though I haven't been to NYC or America before. I still look at the pictures of the WTC at night, and think they look more beautiful than any other city combined. Rebuild the Twin Towers, rebuild, rebuild, rebuild! #twintowersalliance

Best of luck to the Twin Towers Alliance. May they be heard and may the Twins be rebuilt.

REBUILD AND REMEMBER: The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were amazing steel structures and angelic dominants of the New York skyline. On 9/11, two jets struck the World Trade Center.
Both towers collapsed. 3,000 people died.
The best way to commemorate these beautiful towers is to rebuild them, made of concrete and taller and safer. A memorial is ideal and vital, but some people never got to see the twin towers. More than half of AMERICA wants them to arise from the ashes. Do what the people want. Rebuild the towers. Even though it's already April 2015 and 1 World Trade Center opened 5 months ago, we will not give up in pursuing and fulfilling our dreams. Rebuild and Remember.

Let's rebuild the twin towers!

I was in the 5th grade when 9/11 happened, it was very unreal even to this day I'm still in shock that it actually happened. The twin towers stood for what this country represented. The best thing that needs to happen is rebuild the towers.

Hello to those family who lost on 9/11 I’m so sorry that what happen that day even doe I was still a baby I still sorry Beacuse it was said seeing people how they dint do anything and die that early for only hateing so I’m sorry.

I am a 15 year old kid who went on a trip with my family to New York City in 2001 and although I dont remember my mom has a picture of me on top of the south towers observation deck. I Love the new One world trade center and im an architectural fanatic and like the new 3wtc design too but I believe we need 2 1400 foot relics in the new york skyline so i can have a moment in history no one can take from me.

We need to rebuild the twin towers. They'll have fireproof elevators. It is America's life. So let's rebuild the twin towers.

new yorkers are not what they used to be, like new york itself.

Rebuild the towers, stone on stone.

For those that understand, no explanation is necessary, for those that don't, no explanation is possible.

Just do it...

The twin towers must be rebuilt!!!
When I was two years old, I got to go up the twin towers. However, I do not remember that experience, and I want to relive that experience again. That can only be achieved if the twin towers are rebuilt. If we do rebuild the twin towers, we can tell the terrorists that they cannot defeat us. If they knock them we, we will build them right back up. Rebuilding the twin towers is the only way we can truly defeat the terrorists in our hearts.

the twin towers are an America symbol of strength that told the world we can over come anything we must rebuild! NEVER FORGET!!!!

Rebuild the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. Even though it has been 14 years since 9/11 we still are scarred by that event. Not only were the Twin Towers a place a business they were a symbol of America's prosperity and showed the world who we are as a country. We can't replace that with a glass tower, that shows the terrorist organizations that they won by destroying America's beloved towers. Be rebuilding it would be the most genuine form of healing of the scar left by the terrorists on Sept. 11th, 2001. We must rebuild!

I was with most people my age when it happened (I'm 15), and even though I've only been to NYC once (2006), to a lot of people way before 9/11, those towers meant something. The Freedom Tower and the other new towers in my opinion are unsatisfying and it shows that the terrorists won in a way. Hopefully in the near future, if Towers 2 and 3 aren't built, we will see the Towers rise again.

i was a kid when 9/11 happened and i had no idea what the twin towers were until i got older and did some research of my own. i never got to experience going to the twin towers myself nor did i ever remember them when i was growing up. the twin freedom towers need to be a reality, so that i can experience the towers that i never went to and for others who never got the chance to go see the original towers, and remember what they were.

i want to see the Twin Freedom Towers become a reality. so please make this happen!

I not only say I wish the twin towers were rebuilt or claim that they need to be rebuilt without backing those words up with actions. I've honestly never been to them nor did I even know what 9/11 was when it happened because of course I was young but oddly enough, I'm somehow attached to them ever since seeing pics of them & movies containing them in recent years as I'm now older to realize their significance.When we say rebuild, we don't necessarily mean using the same outdated materials that were put into the original twins that led to their collapse. The twin towers rebuilding plan will ensure far more updated technology just as they used into the new one world trade center. The design features will meet modern standards in every as

Until there are twin towers hovering over the skyline of New York, we are defeated. Every time I see a period movie or re-broadcast of a period sitcom with the original twin towers in the background, I am sickened to my stomach. I believe every American will rest much better when, once again, we can look upon the skyline of New York City and see what we expect to see. The Freedom Tower simply cannot fill the void. Once might as well attempt to replace the Statue of Liberty with an obelisk.

Please bring back the old twin towers!

The whole world was knocked out on 9/11-2001. And our world is still bleeding. We will never recover from this wound until the exact Twin Towers are rebuilt. They symbolized something so important none could even imagine. A symbol for indestructibilty, our beliefs, a strong Western World.

We still don't know who took the towers down. But whoever did it, i'm sure they didn't know what impact it would do for the future generations.

This isn't about New York only. This is about the whole world.

And people, I'm telling you, the only way for this world to heal is to rebuild the Twin Towers.
This is not a design contest, this is about restoring and healing the wound everyone is suffering from since 2001.

Freedom Tower 1 WTC is i

Please bring the twin towers back one World Trade Center is ugly! Rebuild the twin towers!!!

I completely agree with the push to rebuild the World Trade Center. However I don't like the design that is currently being implemented. I personally believe if we rebuild the World Trade Center of New York we need to do it the right way and the only right way I see are the Twin Towers. They stood as symbols of American Pride, American Culture and American Power. Now with them wiped out, New York just doesn't look the same. I was only a child when September 11th occurred but there is to me something about the Twin Towers that evokes the majesty and beauty of what we can do. The Twin Towers may never stand again physically, but they will always stand spiritually in our hearts.

The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center are a major facet of retro pop culture, & should be rebuilt, especially since most older buildings that are demolished are not as fortunate. So many buildings in recent & distant history have been lost to either destruction, or the owner's ignorance or negligence, leading to them being razed. It is awesome that some relics of the original Twin Towers are being preserved at the 9/11 Museum & Memorial, but since rebuilding them is possible, I think this would be a great opportunity to resurrect the Twin Towers, & further increase the already increasing gratitude & appreciation for the towers.

The Twin towers should be rebuilt. What is there now is nice and all, but the twins need to rise again! Forget towers 2 and 3, build the Twins again!!!

The Twin towers were the greastest buildings ever, and what is there now, doesn't fill the whole in the skyline that the twin towers made

Re-build them!!!!
