By not erecting new Twin Towers, it says to the world that we have forgotten what and, most importantly, those we have lost on September 11th, 2001. Anything less than what we once had is unacceptable.
To this day, I deeply regret never visiting the original WTC Towers.

An excavated piece of land does not honor the lives lost on 9/11. The proposed Freedom Tower does not properly honor them. Rebuilding the twin towers is only way to go. It does not only honor the lives lost, but it shows that we as a nation, can stand strong and overcome. It shows that we cannot be weakened, but only made stronger. Those two glorious towers would show that the memories of those lost stand tall in our hearts. And by rebuilding the twin towers, it shows that we will never forget.

Please rebuild the twin towers..when i was younger i used to look out the window and when i saw the twin towers I KNEW I was in New York….the Freedom Tower would not be the same! I loved those buildings and building something not similar at all is just terribe! LONG LIVE THE WORLD TRADE CENTERS AND BRING THEM BACK!! BIGGER..BETTER (even though they couldnt be much better)..STRONGER like the design they showed on youtube pretty much the same except stronger and one extra floor on each building!!

I might only be a 17 year old guy who has been a New Yorker his whole life living on Long Island. But I can still remember the time very very clearly before 9/11 in the late 90’s when I was always amazed by the New York City skyline and the Twin Towers. I was so stunned by these beautiful buildings that I was completely shocked when 9/11 happened. The point to all of this is to Rebuild the World Trade Center and make our city whole once more. Because if we don’t do anything, who will?
I sent a message to the mayor of NY recommending this “healing” of America. It is NOT the Muslims who are bad, those are NOT true Muslims, they are fakers. Wake Up Before it’s too late!

These need to be rebuilt. We must show the World that when we get knocked down we are not down and out but better yet we come back bigger and stronger and will not be intimidated by terrorists.

I could not agree more that the Twin Towers should be built bigger and better than ever. Why must we be so slow wasting our time with red tape when the answer is so obvious. I love this plan and would contribute financially and in any other way I could to see it become a reality. And if your worried about another attack, park the USS Ronald Reagan in the Hudson. Nothing should deter our way of life. Good job to the planners.

Rebuilding the WTC would not only be a great symbol, but it’d give a lot more job opporutunities to us hard-working Americans. Do it. Do it now. Do it good.

The one true symbol of America’s prosperity and power is the twin towers, not the Freedom Tower, rebuild them bigger than ever!
The World Trade Center IS one of the biggest and greatest landmarks in New York and in United States history.
The Port Authority is stupid for trying to reshape Manhatten’s famous skyline with something so pointless as the Freedom Tower, or as “THEIR†so called One World Trade Center, which is a huge slap in the face to the Twin Towers, for frauding the North Tower’s original name.

I have never seen the world trade center in my life becuse I was born in 1994. I would really love to see the towers rise in the NYC skyline instead of “the pile of junk” Freedom tower. The WTC are my favorite buildngs even though they are gone. I build them with legos and I know basically more than 87 percent of their history.

The last time I have seen the Twin Towers was on August 25, 2001. 2 weeks before the attacks. As a Brooklyn-born woman raised in NJ I believe that the Twin Towers weren’t just 2 buildings; they were the heart of New York. Any immigrant who comes here to the US to become a citizen, the first he or she will look at aside from Lady Liberty will be the Twin Towers. I HATE the new 1 World Trade Center tower. IT STINKS!!! REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS AND LET’S REBUILD THE PRIDE OF NEW YORK!!!!

The attack on September 11 was perhaps the greatest challenge to American democracy and morale in all of history. It even surpasses the attack on Pearl Harbor, which dragged the U.S. into WWII. Not building the twin towers EXACTLY is a symbol of American defeat; a defeat that the U.S. could not pull themselves after a tragedy. The Freedom Tower is an excellent project, but is not destined for NYC. The towers should be REBUILD EXACTLY, and they should add more height to show Americans’ growth.

When you get knocked down you get back up. You come back bolder and stronger. Rebuild the Twin Towers! The freedom tower isn’t a symbol of america, its a symbol of weakness.

Just because Pataki is too afraid to rebuild the very Towers that were attacked, doesn’t mean he can abuse his power. His idea is not the Freedom Tower. It is the FEAR Tower, and only serves as an example of American paranoia. The idea to rebuild the original buildings is not a dream. Architects have presented actual models of a rebuilt design, adding appropriate safety features that the Port Authority ignored in the 1960s. I have personally seen the top of the WTC, and we deserve better!

If the Statue of Liberty was struck on 9/11, we wouldnt even have an argument in whether to rebuild it or not.
The twin towers represented something more than offices and steel, it was the symbol of western civilization. It would be a disgrace if they are not rebuilt.
I am going to resent the Freedom Tower for the rest of my life if it is erected.

I love New York city and growing up in NJ, it always felt like a second home to me. Traveling is one of my greatest passions and after all I’ve seen, nothing is as great a site as that skyline we had on Sept 10, 2001 and before. The Twin Towers along with the Empire State Building are the greatest sites I’ve ever seen!
Our government has allowed them to win. Between not capturing him and not rebuilding what New York needs and deserves. Not just NY, but the country and the world deserves

My father brought us to America when I was just a small child from Moscow, Russia. I love New York City and my father worked in the Twin Towers. We would go to the towers to visit every weekend, and I never got tired of it. The Twin Towers were an important part of not only New York City, but of America. Here now, without them, it just feels like something is missing. It seems almost criminal to take away what so many want back. My father said he would gladly return. I think we should rebuild!
