I think we should have rebuilt the iconic twin towers. i grew up loving those towers when i was a kid. I like the new complex but having twins would have been better.

The towers should be restored to the smallest details. All I request is that they stand stronger before, stronger perimeter walls, corners, and thick walls guarding the core and emergency staircases at each corner of the core. I have had the idea that they stand 1000 feet taller than the original towers, at 2368 feet. still have the sky lobbies on floors 44 and 78. At the 1368 foot mark (same of the original towers) there would be an observation deck/public area, and the same at 1776 foot mark and a 9/11 memorial/museum at the 2001 foot mark and some other public area at the top floor and the roof. And the antenna on the north tower which would actually be a spire in this case would take the north building to a total height of 2719 feet.

Something about those towers were just so amazing. the skyline is so different without it, i savour any photos you can find of the inside, my auntie bought me a tomb raider gameboy game in around 2000 when she visited, i still have it.
They never should have accepted anything less than a recreation. Trump even tried to do it?? maybe one day </3
Till then i will have my breath taken away every time i see even a photo.

“On September 11, 2001, humanity collapsed into a pancake effect. I know the history of the Twin Towers, from the beginning, through magazines and reports, and here in Gonçalves, everyone is very fond of the imposing structures that we lost on that sunny morning. There is a void that haunts New York, and ours is the only nation, Humanity, which will soon be free of borders and wars. And that void needs to be filled in some way. That new structure has nothing to do with the context It’s ridiculous, and the people of New York don’t deserve it. The towers must be remade, even if I have to use my artistic power to move the world in this battle. The Twin Towers were our most beautiful spiritual and material link. Give it back to us”.

I love the twin towers i never got a chance to visit them in real life, whenever i want to see them i just go look at their pictures, i really hope i will see them someday in real life. new york’s skyline is not the same and it will not be without them.

I think the Twin Towers must be rebuilt because America has finally left the 9/11 era and we will show the world that we recovered from 9/11.

The sign of the World Trade Center was the Twin Towers and there are no reasons why they shouldn’t be twins again. Further on, I think it will heal the wounds, if we get them back. And Hey Silverstein loved the look of the Twin Towers as he leased the WTC complex, so I don’t understand why he hasn’t rebuild them.

The twin towers were an iconic part of not just NYC, but America as a whole. A perfect representation of the American spirit. We need them back!

I didn’t grow up with the Twin Towers and I wish I did. I want the Twin Towers back.

The original towers were beautiful buildings, and the new Freedom Tower greatly undermines their beauty. New Yorkers bonded with the Twin Towers and they want them back. The new Freedom Tower is a mere skeleton of the glory and pride that the Twin Towers carried. New York needs them back. They must stand again!

The freedom tower is a beautiful building, but it’s not the world trade center. The freedom tower has less floors than the original twin towers and the proposed twin towers 2. They will NEVER live up to the twins. Rebuild the twin towers. And while you’re at it, get rid of the reform movement.

The towers’ verticals steel tridents from bottom to top gave the twin towers their specific look of impressive height. Added to this feature was the narrow windows, only a shoulder width wide. NYC’s skyline won’t be the same until these twin towers dominate and define lower Manhattan.

Loved the original twin towers. I was in them my brother had a job interview there and a friend and cousin of mine was in the second plane flight 175. This means so much to me and my family to bring back the iconic world trade center.

The proposed design for the new Two World Trade Center is a joke and will look awful from anywhere except NJ. However, we should be rational enough to acknowledge that the old design will never be rebuilt – this is good as we should look into the future instead of the past! Nevertheless, a second twin for 1WTC is necessary as so many on this website have made clear already.

the twin towers were the tallest in the world, a city like new york that has always had the tallest buildings can not afford to stay behind, the new wtc symbolizes fear, a building that represents nothing to the twin towers and that does not reach being the tallest building in the world, they had a lot of office space, the one wtc seems like a shame, the twin towers symbolized freedom, originality, pride, having two towers of inspiration for many movies, like spiderman for example, were much nicer than what they have done now, New York need have the new twin towers, the tallest towers in the world again!

We need to rebuild the towers. The freedom tower is showing the terrorists they won. It’s not an icon, it symbolizes giving up. The twin towers represent New York. I heard we’re building new World Trade Centers soon, so let’s make them the Twin Towers, New York.

I agree they need to rebuild the twin towers but the memorial and freedom tower need to stay where they are.

For Twin Towers Alliance !

I come from a generation that never lived a day with the Towers standing. My generation doesn’t know the void that is the absence of those towers. There is no greater gift to our enemies foreign and domestic than to accept defeat and not rebuild. That’s why I say rebuild. And there is no greater gift to the next generation of American adults than to restore the greatest symbol of American engagement in the global market this country ever knew.

I believe the city of New York is black and white without the towers. Please bring them back!

Rebuilding the twin towers would not only be symbolic of this nation’s resiliency but it will give the opportunity for new generations to come to experience how magnificent they were. I don’t have deep connections to many places but I still do with the twin towers even though they’re no longer here. It was one of few things that made me proud to be a New Yorker actually. I miss them and I’m glad that I’m not alone.

I want to have the twin towers built back up even though I wasn’t alive when it happened, but I also think you should have a floor for each hero, and name each floor after them.
