I was born nearly 7 years after 9/11, in England, and I have to say that I have never wanted to visit anywhere as much as the Twin Towers. Perhaps it is my taste in architecture, the sheer size of these buildings attracts me to them straight through my computer screen. To dine at the Windows on the World, sat eating 107 stories above the ground, looking out over Manhattan. I guess that feeling is one very hard to come by without the buildings to feel it in.
Think about what it symbolised! Not only international trade and more peaceful times-for many people, on a personal level, it represented those more simple days, pre-2008, before social media made so many people miserable.
Rebuild them. Make the NYC skyline iconic again.

Eu sinceramente gostaria de ver as torres gêmeas em pé como eram antes, mas claro, com uma estrutura muito melhor, bem reforçada e com muito mais segurança. Quando os atentados aconteceram, eu era uma criança, e tinha apenas 5 para 6 anos…
Seria a melhor coisa para o horizonte nova iorquino ter as torres gêmeas de novo como parte da cidade… Se eu fosse bilionário, faria o impossível para conseguir reconstruí-las junto ao molde original do complexo… As homenagens seriam parte essencial e primordial no projeto… Ainda hoje, penso em como o ser humano pode ser imbecil à ponto de destruir prédios da maneira que aconteceu, por um fanatismo religioso totalmente distorcido e errado… Quero as torres gêmeas de volta em NYC!
Translation: I would sincerely like to see the Twin Towers standing as they were before, but of course, with a much better structure, much reinforced and with much more security. When the attacks happened, I was a child, and I was only 5 or 6 years old…
It would be the best thing for the New York skyline to have the Twin Towers as part of the city again… If I were a billionaire, I would do everything possible to rebuild them along the original lines of the complex… The tributes would be an essential and fundamental part of the project… Even today, I think about how human beings can be so stupid as to destroy buildings the way they did, out of a totally distorted and wrong religious fanaticism… I want the Twin Towers back in NYC!

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.
Translation: Hi, my name is Ottavio, I’m 18 years old and I come from Italy. I’ve always been in love with the World Trade Center towers since I was a child (even though I never got to see them), and thinking that those magnificent architectural complexes would no longer exist makes me feel a great inner sadness both for what happened but also for knowing that I will never be able to see those fantastic towers.
I strongly desire the reconstruction of those towers, also to give a sign of rebirth and redemption and to convey that terrorism has done nothing to us, and then also because they recall a golden period for everyone.
Obviously, as long as this does not cause general annoyance to those who unfortunately lost loved ones during the attack.
PS it would be memorable.

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.

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.

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.

Even though I was against the construction of One WTC for the same reasons as the TTA at first, I had really made the effort to try and like the new tower thereafter. However, it is hard not to conclude, after all these years, that the citizens of America and the world have been sold short at Ground Zero. Looking at what was initially promised, and then, how it all turned out to be, the “World’s Greatest Compromise”, as B1M on YT succinctly pointed out in their video recently.
I feel like rebuilding the Twin Towers would ensure a way to a more safe and a more harmonious, peaceful world. Balance is key here. The events in the past two decades on the geopolitcal arena that have been unfolding shows the need for it. Peace and progress starts at rebuilding the Twins.

I have had an undying love for New York for as long as I can remember, but one thing was always missing from all my photos. Well, two things to be precise. I feel as though the twin towers were, are, and will be symbols of strength and prosperity, but with new towers in place of the old ones they would also be symbols of undeniable victory.

I would like to see the Memorial and Museum to be relocated off site in a respectful way and have the twin towers rebuilt, eventually 1 WTC and other towers would be deconstructed from the top down.

We enter 2023, and I’m working full steam ahead in the arts, to celebrate the 50 years of the legacy of the Twin Towers. Today I am much more mature and convinced that yes, we will see the towers raised again. Count on me so that April 4th never passes in white clouds. It is time to celebrate the legacy of these buildings, and the history of their employees who died in the 2001 tragedy, but remain alive in us. The Twin Towers became children of the 21st Century, and children of Humanity/Ethiopia, an integral part of the history of this blue planet. The pain of the New York people is ours, and the desire to heal this wound is also ours, as we are all brothers in the world. Will be all right. A Happy 2023 to all!

Being 16 in 2001 and watching this destruction on tv from the other side of the world has had a profound impact on me since. A major world changing event in my lifetime and nothing has felt the same since. Those towers held a rightful place in that skyline. By leaving them destroyed and the skyline empty you are telling the world’s evil that they have won. Rebuilding them bigger and stronger is the only way to show respect to those that perished.

Hello dear Twin Towers Alliance, i really appreciate your suggest about rebuilding Twin Towers.
It’s awesome idea, and i wish you good luck that it will happen. I am 20 years old guy born in Czech republic, i was born 8 months after 9/11 (june 2002), and as everyone else kids born in early 2000s, we saw those building in movies or on pictures. And it’s so sad we didn’t saw them in real life.
And i wish that, they will be rebuilded. It still the most significant, and most awesome skyscrapers ever build.
I was in NY back in 2013, and it was different. I was so sad, when we visit 9/11 memorial. I bought book about history of twin towers. So i hope during my life, or my children will see this awesome structures.

Translation: Why try the impossible, why follow your dreams? Well, because that was exactly what the original WTC meant, a marvel, the dream of every city, of every builder, of every worker. Then as soon as the twenty-first century arrived, it disappeared to be replaced by glass buildings. However, memory and memory never dies, the essence and meaning of the WTC’s golden site are those Twin Towers, nothing else will be able to return that power. Destroy them and tear down an entire country, rebuild them and prove to your enemies that they will never win, an opportunity for the world, something to admire. The impossible with effort becomes possible. 20 years have passed, the world is no longer in the same fear of those buildings, people clamor for the return of their glorious icon.
¿Porque intentar lo imposible, porque seguir tus sueños?
Bueno, porque eso fue exactamente lo que significo el WTC original,toda una maravilla, el sueño de toda ciudad, de todo constructor, de todo trabajador.
Luego apenas llegar el siglo XXI desapareció para ser reemplazado por edificios de cristal.
Sin embargo, el recuerdo y la memoria nunca muere, la esencia y el significado de sitio dorado del WTC son esas Torres Gemelas, nada más podrá devolver ese poder.
Destruirlas y tiras abajo todo un país, reconstruirlas y le demostrarlas a tus enemigos que nunca ganarán, una oportunidad para el mundo, algo que admirar.
Lo imposible con esfuerzo se vuelve posible, han pasado 20 años, el mundo ya no le tiene el mismo miedo a esos edificios, la gente clama por el retorno de su glorioso icono.

Hello! I want old WTC to be rebulid and here I am gonna tell a bit about me to show you why I care so much about it. I am 17 years old from Poland. I never was in US yet. I didnt even live when WTC was standing. But I love NY and I love US. There are two countries I love: Poland and US. And I am also historian. I saw many videos of old NY. And you can see that in years 1993-2001 (before 911) were Golden years of US. WTC was beatifull and big sing of US power. And people around were happy. Ofcourse world wasnt perfect. Just watch some archives of old tv news of that era and you will see what I mean. I am not saying new WTC 1 is bad. But when I see how bad looks both designs of new WTC 2 and that it wont be as big as first tower is just sad. I want to see old WTC be rebulided. I love you US.

I was very young at the time the Towers fell at 4PM BST on September 11th 2001.
Since that day, I have wanted to visit NYC to view the memorial, but as an adult, I find Freedom Tower an ungainly eyesore. Twin Towers Phoenix would have been the better project for rebuilding the Towers, and the old frames would have been a fitting open air memorial to the innocents who died that tragic day. It would have been the perfect way to say “We’re back, and we’re not going anywhere.”

I have grown up watching the wonderful old Twin Towers in films such as Stuart Little, Armageddon, and Home Alone 2, and I truly feel the same as many others globally that the Twin Towers are the true icons not only of New York but of all America and represented a peaceful nation that gave benefits to mankind in contrast to the profit-hungry state that invaded Iraq and Vietnam. And thus verily, I believe too that the best way to really pay tribute to the victims of 9/11, and defy the awful terrorists who were emboldened by the Deep-State’s globalist pillages and foreign wars and learnt the skills they needed to commit the attacks in the first place, is to rebuild the Twin Towers in their full glory adjacent to the Memorial Pools and cut out the obelisk eyesore of a new tower.

I was 13 when 9/11 happened, and I still remember watching the news on tv with my family and all of us being shocked! Although I had never set foot in New York, I was devastated and had nightmares about the towers burning and people falling from them to their deaths for a long time! I condemn any terrorist attack, and I strongly believe that the twin towers should return. Their absence is heavily noted not just by the people of America, but by all people around the world. The twin towers were a representation of a better, happier, more peaceful time/world…a world that we badly need today to live in again.

Desde chico siempre me ha interesado la historia de las Torres Gemelas, tuve siempre la esperanza de que algún día las reconstruyesen, más fuertes y más seguras, como un símbolo de resiliencia para Estados Unidos y el mundo entero. La caída de las torres significó un antes y un después para la humanidad, pero creo que la mejor manera de sanar la herida que dejó tanta maldad, sería volverlas a ver erguidas como siempre debieron estar.

In wake of the catastrophic consequences of America’s withdrawal in Afghanistan, it seems more appropriate now than ever to heal the wounds of 9/11 with a symbol of rebirth, strength, and honour. The indelible absence of the Twin Towers along with America’s abysmal mishandling of its foreign policy has added fuel to the ever growing impression that America has lost its sense of self determination that served as the driving force behind it’s very founding. 9/11 still casts a long and melancholic shadow over the West that has had a profound effect on the American psyche. But by rebuilding the Twin Towers to their original glory, it would end 20 years of American mourning and start an epoch of rebirth and hope. America’s long road to recovery can begin, with the construction of the Twin Towers. Two Towers, that would serve as a symbol for a new era of America, one that honours the loss of those that died that fateful day, by giving back to the American people an icon that belongs to them. By beginning with raising the World Trade Centre, America can fix it’s gaze to ever newer heights and ever brighter futures. Look up to the stars, America. Your dreams can be as tall as the towers!
They should be rebuilt as a sign that if you do get knocked down you get back up no matter what circumstances. Also they were beautiful buildings and made the New York skyline.

It makes no sense whatsoever that such iconic buildings that were so central to defining New Yorkʼs worldwide renowned skyline have not been rebuilt. That should have been the priority from the get-go, if the wounds and the trauma were to heal and the victims truly honored by not allowing the terror that took their lives to triumph in their objective to leave New Yorkʼs identity permanently maimed with a conspicuous indelible scar. It is impossible to restore the victimsʼ lives, and they obviously deserve the most dignified memorial so that their horrible loss and sacrifice will never be forgotten. But the Twin Towers can and should rise back from their ashes like the mythological phoenix, as the most powerful and symbolic reassertion of the American peopleʼs determination.
