I guess it's too late since the construction has already begun, but I believe the original twin towers should be rebuilt. Return the New York skyline to the way it was, and show the terrorists that America gets right back up when you knock it down. The 2,753 people cannot be replaced, but the towers can. There will always be a difference in the skyline from 2001 to now, which to the terrorists is a great victory.
I want to see Twins Towers!
Please Rebuild the Twin Towers!!!
Down with the "George Pataki" Tower, although it is almost done. He is the prick that put this hunk of junk here in the first place with this BS design contest, which the result was also BS. He picked the planner as the planner was a friend with Pataki's friend. Corruption written all over. Now we are being asked to fund this joke. Ridiculous. Cap this joke building already and build new Twins already.
Even though I didn't have anybody that died in the towers my family still lost friends and family. My uncle was a passenger on American Airlines flight 77 which hit the Pentagon. I have dealt with all the theories and blatant lies some people produce. My family also lost a friend. I support rebuilding at Ground Zero, I don't support the Freedom Tower. I wish and want to experience the majestic New York with those twin towers in the distance, not just one.
I think the twin towers should be rebuilt because it will show that america is stronger if we build them taller and stronger.and it will heal america but the freedom tower is nearly finished.
Bring back the towers!
my dad is a fireman and i was 1 when this happened but i still care do what we want the power should belong to the people!!!! we deserve the right to have one of the greatest landmarks and to have the honor to say that we have our twin towers back!!!! please its one more step to having the best country!! you did something about pearl harbor now do something about the twin towers!!! please for a girls sake i dont care if i was 1 im still heart broken that you wont take care of it when people walk in new york and look at those lights they would probably want to see the towers!!please i want them back!!!i want to be able to say that we have the twin towers back!!
I was deeply affected by the atrosities of 9/11. The world will never be the same again for the generations that witnessed this horror. It cannot be undone but in my view, to heal the wounds best possible, we should have a rebuild of the original, beautiful towers. Anything less will be a perpetual reminder of the horrors that went down that day and I prefer to put that behind me. I want to honor the innocent victims but I don't want such a visible reminder, that the terrorists were "succesful" in their horrible endeavor. Bring back the twins! I don't mind that it's in an improved, and safer version, but there should be a set of twin towers at ground zero.
Guys i did sign here a long time ago, but i think its time now to let it go, give up. One thing i dispise about the american government, it is they dont give a crap about their people. You are on par with the taliban, and your government is just beyond corrupt. Ten years since 3000 people died and only now do we see any memorial and a building which is a middle finger to the american people. The towers shold have been rebuilt bigger and stronger as a tribute to the people who died, but instead we wait ten years to see a random glass building emerge from that memorial ground, makes me sick. My friends across the pond it is time to come to terms with the fact that the terrorist has won... They destroyed the new york skyline for good. Pathetic.
TTA Note: We looked for an earlier message that we could merge with this one, but couldn't find one. As for the negative outlook, we will address it in a bulletin, because it is based on an assumption that is widespread, but not as logical as it seems to be.
I feel that the rebirth of the World Trade Center will not only restore the NYC skyline to what it was once before, but restore the American spirit, for we stay strong as a nation, but the rebuilding of the Twin Towers would completely mend the American pride way more than the Freedom Tower (One World Trade) ever would. PLEASE REBUILD THESE TOWERS!!!
I Was Born In 1999 And On that Horrific Day on 9/11 I Remember The Towers Getting Hit by the planes And them also collapsing I am intristed in The Twin Towers I Do as Much Research on The world Trade Center i ask My parents and My grandparents and my friend from New York About The Twin Towers sometimes I wish that I could of seen the Twin Towers But Now all I see is The Freedom tower under construction
Plese Bring Back The TWIN TOWERS
I'm proud to be in America. And I hope the towers are rebuilt.
I love America and the twin towers.
I'm really proud to be a American citizen and I really want a chance to see the twin towers rebuilt in new york. It will respect the American spirit and those who died that day.
I'm a proud New Yorker and I think the twin towers should be built back the way it was.
I visited those majestic towers when i was about 7 on August 2000, I was amazed at the twin towers for being so big so... very tall and standing proud. I didn't understand 9/11 until 5th grade, but I'm sick and tired of the world trade center being remembered as a tragic place where people died by new generations! WE NEED THESE TOWERS BACK the Way they were , not 1 tower, NOT 4 ASYMETRICAL BUILDINGS, BUT 2 TWIN TOWERS!
BRING BACK THE TWINS!
I was 15 years old the on day of the attacks on America and it is a day I will never ever forget to my dying day! Fast forward 10 years later and I finally get to visit the great city of New York, a dream come true for a young Irishman as myself! While there I had the time of my life but every second of every day the world trade centre and the twin towers were on my mind! The day I went to visit the site or crime scene as I refer to it, it was just a chilling experience for me thinking of all the people that perished that day and all the long strangely for some reason I still expected to look up high into the sky and see those beautiful towers but I saw nothing but a poor attempt at salvaging America's freedom! So please bring back the Twin Towers!
The Twin Towers Were The Most Beautiful, Perfect & Intresting Structures To Ever Exsist. The Entire Complex Was Outstanding And I Would Have Loved To See The Entire Complex Back But I Understand There Has There Has To Be a Memorial For Those Who Were Lost.
Alhough The Terrorists Took Them From Us That Is An Insentive To Put Them Back Where They Were And Where They Belong!
DONT LET THE TERRORISTS WIN!
TWIN TOWERS FOREVER!
The Freedom Tower is a Fear Tower. There's still time and Room to build WTC 1 and 2 though. The port authority has ignored the American people in favor of short term financial gain.
The Towers need to be rebuilt.
i still cry at pictures of the twin towers we cant let them take it away from us
I am 17 now, or turned 17 last year, 2011. The 9-11 terror attacks happened when I was seven years old, but before that I was blessed to be able to see the old NYC skyline, and I think it would more than amazing if it were rebuilt. Before 9-11 my father, (one time as my family visited the city; I live about 45 mins away) pointed to the brothers and told me "You see those two buildings there? They are the strongest in the world. They bombed them before you were born, but they did not fall." Maybe if the towers are rebuilt, I can tell perhaps in the future tell my son that even though they fell, it did not stop them from coming back. Please rebuild our New York, our Skyline, Our World Trade Center.
Rebuild the towers! Let freedom ring! Make the New York skyline strong again!
We need to rebuild the twin towers. It's the only way we can show the terrorists that America has won. It would be cheaper to rebuild the twin towers and would show respect for the 9/11 families, respect to fire fighters and also police officers. I live in Scotland and even I want the twin towers back, everyone does. Lets all do the right thing, It's not too late to rebuild the twin towers. Scrap towers two and three. I would recommend watching Timothy Mcque on youtube, search rebuild the twin towers and you will find him on web cam video. This man knows what he's talking about.
The World Trade Center was a symbol of this country for years and whether a bit simple still very much recognized by the world. 1WTC, I have nothing against. Americans I have to admit are wallowing in the past and it's time to move on a while ago but I know and most of America do the same that the twins have to return and that will be the true closure that we need.
Rebuild our twin towers!
The terrorists have already won by changing the New York skyline. The Freedom Tower is almost finished. We have lost the Twin Towers to both Al Qaeda and the politicians.
I can't believe that the Twin Towers are gone forever. I am going to miss them terribly. Why did we let this happen? When I go to New York I will not be visiting ground zero.
The twin towers were a historical landmark, and on the 11th of september these towers were brought down, and ever since that day lower manhattan changed. new york changed. the world changed. the twin towers were in the same league as americas major landmarks. They were a part of american pride, and to lose them is a major blow to the skull. I personally never got to visit them, and I may not live in that country but it seemed a part of me. I want these towers back, and now.
the twin towers fit with the nyc skyline. freedom tower doesnt, it looks to robotic. also, by not rebuilding the twins, we have given the terrorists what they want -- to perminantly damage the new york skyline.
new york city will never be the same with out the twin tower and i really want them back and the new one will make new york too futuristic and it will screw up lower Manhattan's sky line
I visited NYC in July 2001. At first the twins were scary for being so tall (I was 9), but I got to the top of wtc2 and it was spectacular! The highest place I have ever been on to date. The twin towers will forever be in my vision of NYC. To me that ground is still considered ground zero until the twins return one day and stand tall and proud, not only as a symbol and icon of NYC but America and a big middle finger to terrorism in the world. "Freedom tower" does the exact opposite.
It pains me to know that the Twin Towers and their famous Windows On The World and the Outdoor observation deck will never be enjoyed again. Personally because of the construction of the Freedom Tower I will never visit Lower Manhattan or the Statue Of Liberty again! Never!
It boggles my mind that we have not rebuilt them. Why would we ever settle for a memorial? We need the Twin Towers on the skyline again - compared to the stimuli passed, rebuilding it would be pocket change - and it would do so much more for morale. If Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower were destroyed, they'd be rebuilt. Why not the Twin Towers? And our economy was booming after 9/11, why didn't we rebuild it then when there was the housing and real estate bubble!?
rebuild the twin towers
the new trade center just looks bad, like some new age japanese building, and has way to much glass, the old world trade didnt look like other buildings, it didnt just blend in like the rest it was something else.
