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.
I believe that new Twin Towers should be built. Incorporated in some way into the new World Trade Center complex. The original Twin Towers ll proposal seems to be out of the question. But there is still time to reconstruct what is so desperately missing from the Lowrr Manhattan/Financial District skyline.i like many others was not around to witness the original World Trade Center complex in all of its glory prior to September 11th, 2001. I think a new set of Twin Towers would benefit New York and the United States as a whole. The gap would be refilled once more and the memorial pools would continue to act as a reminder of what was lost that day. I sincerely hope some day this mission is somehow accomplished.
Phoenix North and Phoenix South. That is all. Nothing less will suffice, on multiple fronts. Make it affordable apartments and space for non office related businesses, like an arcade, indoor airsoft arena, etc. make the impact floors a musuem and memorial place. So much good can come from them. We just need 7 billion dollars to make it happen…
there must be a no hideing from the fact of what did happen here, & there allways has to be a mamorial for the bombing & 9/11 , but at the same time, the towers should & could be rebuilt, bigger stronger & safer then ever before! i look forward to that happening! & i no many others feel the same
They absolutely need to be rebuilt.
The twin towers.. as a Canadian I was never able to see the towers I wasn’t born in time but I will allways want to it’s different just looking at a photo from now and 2000 it’s just not the same we need to build these towers I HAVE FULL SUPPORT build these towers take it to the limit and make it the tallest building in the world and make it a structurally strong and call the towers WTC 0
I was born a few months after the attacks, am neither a new yorker nor an american in general, but I loved the towers ever since I learned about them. From comparing photos of pre-9/11 New York to photos of the city today, I always felt, that something’s missing, that New York has a whole other vibe to it. The Twin Towers just have to return, to finally make the Skyline complete and to show the terrorists a middle finger.
I believe that the current design is “not good” (l would say something else but l won’t). I was born in 2010, so l never got to see the twin towers myself. But just looking at the pictures made me realise how great these behemoths were. Considering a large percentage of 9/11 affected families wanted the twin towers to be rebuilt, the current design is not a great one.

Never Forget
I was born in 2009, 8 years after the attacks. So, obviously, I myself didn’t live a life with the Twin Towers or live through the September 11th Attacks. But even so, I have always honored the day by watching documentaries and annually constructing my micro Twin Towers/WTC complex moc in Lego bricks. I always find that I really do love the towers that aren’t there any longer. I feel a deep anger towards the terrorists who not only took the lives of nearly 3,000 American citizens, bu
