While I am Australian, the twin towers were America. They were so iconic and that is what made the NY skyline what it is.
Their reconstruction would be so symbolic as its a slap in the face towards terrorists and a general “You may knock us down but we will come back stronger”.
Please rebuild!
Rebuilding the Twin Towers is a powerful symbol of our nation’s strength, resilience, and unwavering resolve in the face of terror. The attacks of 9/11 were meant to instill fear and weaken our spirit, but by restoring these iconic towers, we send a clear message to the world: America does not back down. We honor the lives lost by standing tall and showing that we will not be defined by destruction, but by our ability to rebuild, rise, and persevere. This is not just about rebuilding a structure—it’s about reaffirming our national identity, strength, and commitment to freedom.
National landmarks should not disappear!
Ciao mi chiamo Ottavio ho 18 anni e vengo dall’Italia, sono sempre stato innamorato delle torri del world trader center sin da bambino (anche se non ho potuto mai vederle),e nel pensare che quei magnifici complessi architettonici non ci sarebbero stati più, mi sale una grande tristezza interiore sia per ciò che è successo ma anche nel sapere di non poter mai vedere quelle fantastiche torri.
Desidero fortemente la ricostruzione di quelle torri, anche per dare un segno di rinascita e di riscatto e nel trasmettere che il terrorismo non ci ha fatto niente, e poi anche perché loro richiamano un periodo d’oro un po’ per tutti.
Ovviamente sempre se questo non dia un fastidio generale a chi ha purtroppo perso dei cari durante l’attentato.
PS sarebbe memorabile.
I’m from the UK and think it’s a real shame the towers haven’t been rebuilt, as nothing would have shown the world terrorism will not prevail more. The New York skyline simply isn’t the same without these iconic behemoths. I’d love to see them rebuilt bigger and better, but with the same steel framed architectural style. Nothing would commemorate all those lost on 9/11 better than rebuilding the twin towers. New York authorities, please u-turn and give the people what they want.
the towers and new york deserve to go back to the way they were before
Born shortly before 9/11, the Twin Towers still have always been one of the most iconic symbols of the United States to me on par with the Statue of Liberty and the White House. Their design is unique, recognizable all around the world and stand just all in all for everything american. Bringing them back would be the only right thing.
Like the Sphere and the Survivor Tree, the Twin Towers faced indescribable odds against them and came out on top in February 1993. I believe the Towers should be rebuilt. It would be a great display of resilience and make New York feel a little more like New York again.
I think it would be cool.
Rising again taller then before. Unique concept to honor the legacy of the OG towers.
We MUST rebuild the iconic and B-E-A-Utiful Twin Towers–taller than before 9/11!! A very appropriate symbol of American Pride and civility!! That would be really truly American!!! :)
Hi sisters
In the memory of Michael and Christine Egan.
I Was Born 3 Years After The Disaster. I Just Like Many Others Didn’t Have The Chance To See The Twin Towers Stand Before Us. We Must Rebuild Them As They Were Before, Not Just To Repair The New York Skyline, But To Repair What America Stands For. If We Don’t Rebuild And Just Leave A Empty Space, Then The Enemy Wins. We Must Rebuild The Towers The Same As Before, But Stronger To Prevent The Disaster From Happening Again. America Doesn’t Back Down, America Doesn’t Lose, We Rebuild And Come Back Stronger Than Ever. We Owe It To Every Single Police Officer, Firefighter, Paramedic, Victim and Families Who Mourn To Bring Back The Towers. We Cannot Let Ground Zero Be A Grave, We Must Let It Be A Sign Of Strength By Rebuilding The Towers In Honor Of Those We Lost.
I may have been born 8 years after these beautiful creations came crashing down, ripping apart so many peoples lives but I still feel a special connection to them.
The original World Trade Center has something that the current site does not possess. To me it is the pure symbol that is shown through it. The towers projected the American dream, the strength in our peoples freedoms.
To rebuild what we lost is not an insult to those who died, but a way to remember. To show that the terrorists may have struck us but we have come back in spite of the murder of our friends, family, co workers, and more.
Although I have never been to New York, let alone ground zero, I still see pictures of these buildings and I imagine the huge scale of them, looming on the horizon. I want that to be reality.
I believe the towers should be rebuilt because of the history and symbolism they held for new york and the country as a whole. The timing is right, its been over 20 years and I don’t believe the buildings will trigger trauma responses from victims (only if they are NOT rebuilt on the original site). And while I wish they could’ve been rebuilt on the original site, it wouldn’t be feasible considering most of the new complex is finished. As long as the towers are in new york city, I’m fine with whatever spot they’d be rebuilt. I was born in 2000 my mom worked in the financial district until 2002 so I grew seeing ground zero and being so intrigued by the missing towers. I know I’m not the only one with this relationship the towers, and new yorkers deserve a chance to see them again in person.
Here are some reasons why the Twin Towers should be rebuilt:
The Twin Towers were an iconic symbol of New York City and the United States. Rebuilding them would be a powerful statement of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
The new World Trade Center complex, which replaced the Twin Towers, has been criticized for its design and lack of character. Rebuilding the Twin Towers would restore the skyline to its former glory and provide a sense of continuity with the past.
