Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition’s purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you.
Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we have highlighted excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. We rarely do that now and it was never a methodical effort, but just a window on public opinion regarding this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case that the public was sidelined on something that mattered so much.
TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology. If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn’t activated, or it is made using a different email address, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will delete the earlier entry and, if it was verified, verify the new one, since the clear intention is to make the new comment visible. We may decide to manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message.
Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one’s full name is always preferred, but when a name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private.
* Indicates that the signer has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software. They are included out of respect for the sincerity of the comments.
I want the twin towers 2 to be built. I want them built because they symbolize our country, our nation of our freedom. We deserve the right to choose on what the tower design should be and not the design of the freedom tower. I went to New York City 2 weeks ago and saw what they were doing. I was disappointed. I wish that they would rebuild the twin towers the right way instead of the wrong way like they did with the freedom tower. We can still do this if we all join together and say we want our symbol back of our country. WE want the twin towers back and make them stronger then ever before.
i was only in kindergarden on 911 & i would LOVE if they rebuilt them so wen i was older i could live there preferably 1 high up wuld b AMAZING i wuld give nything for that but i wuld make sure that no mater wat i wuld have a parachute in my room at all times so unless the plane hit me i could either walk down the stairs to safety or if im above and stuck i could break the window put the parachute on and jump out, deploy the parachute and decend the safety & RIP to all whom lost their life on 911.
I agree 100%, there's nothing else to do, nothing more can be done, only two 107 stories (at least) can soar in that place, if they are not going to rebuild them, then bring back all the rubble and leave it that way, it must be rebuilt as it was, give NY its skyline, we all around the world miss it badly!
We should see the Twin towers again
Freedom Tower does not have any meaning at all
But the twintowers beautiful building in the world, especially at sunrise and sunset
I think rebuilding would be a great idea.
I agree New York won't be the same, untill they are rebuilt.
The Twin Towers have to be rebuilt. The Freedom Tower is not good for NYC because the WTC is recognizable with the Twin Towers but without it it's nothing. The WTC would be garbage with the Freedom Tower. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS.
the twin towers should be rebuilt.
are we putting up a fight or are we just showing
osama binladin that we are giving up.
build the twin towers 5 more stories higher and stronger for anymore attacks.
people want to see them back.
The Towers need to be back in our skyline, back in our lives.
The skyline don't right look without the towers. It's been there for years and now it's gone. It still hurts every year on 09/11 as a reminder of that fateful day and will NEVER FORGET. Rebuild the towers if you will; but prefer to see the original but with up-to-date technology. New York just doesn't look right without the towers. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS
Rebuild my best friends stupid terrorists knocked them down and i miss them i want my favariout towers back!!!!
I would most definitely rebuild the towers. People always talk about what great things this nation can do, I think they should stop talking about it and JUST DO IT.
I come from germany and i find to, that the twin towers must rebuild, than without the twin towers is the skyline of NY not the skyline of NY...this skyline is bad
i think it was all the government there were bombs and it would of bin still standing if it was not for them. i think they should be rebiult out of the governments money.
WE MUST REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS AND MAKE NEW YORK LOOK LIKE IT DID BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11 2001 AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORKED IN THE TWIN TOWERS THAT DIDN'T DIE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO BACK. WE MUST REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS AND NOT BUILD THE FREEDOM TOWER IT WILL TELL TERRORISTS THEY WON. THE TWIN TOWERS WILL TELL THEM THAT THEY LOST!!!!!!!!
don´t let al-quaida win!!
hello i am glad to see that alot of people want the twin towers back not the very ugly freedom tower i think that thing is very ugly and will scare people away from New York City for ever..
thank you...
Failure to rebuild the Towers, is to assign ourselves to permanant humiliation and degradation.
The only thing worse than the Attack on 9-11, is our failure to restore our skyline.
How will our Children judge us?
For eighteen years, beginning on May 3, 1973 until March 29, 1991, I was the Senior Public Buildings Manager for the State of New York. During that period we occupied the 23rd thru 85th floors, plus space on the sub-grade levels B-1, B-2, B-3 & B-5 of Two World Trade Center. I was retired and New York State was no longer a major tenant on 9/11. However, I almost lost my son who is an NYPD Officer and on that day was assigned to the First Pct. He now has 8" of stainless steel in his rt. arm.
I am a 9/11 survivir. The best tribute to those who perished is to replace the towers as they were. By doing this we do not accept defeat from any foreign terrorist.
