    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.

    The original Twin Towers should be rebuilt in beautiful glass and same height as the old ones!
    The current one WTC might look good in a different part of NYC but not at ground zero!
    The design of the new 2 WTC proposal is an insult to all Americans and needs to be scrapped! Putting a building that looks like boxes falling over next to 1 WTC that looks like a pyramid would be ultimate insult!

    I always would have wanted to visit the twin towers.
    I am very sad about the new complex, the main looks nice but very boring, its taking more than 20 years to complete, 2 towers can’t even get built, and 6 world trade center is missing.
    I want the tower to be rebuilt as whenever I look at pictures, they always show me american power and freedom.

  • signature permalink Monica Williams 12/20/2021   All Other Americans

    I was never truly satisfied with how they dealt with the WTC site after rebuilding. The twin towers was an icon of America’s greatness and was an iconic part of New York’s skyline and it was forcibly taken away from us. What we got in its place is an inferior replacement that im sure in time will be nice in its own way but will NEVER be as great as the twin towers. America was damaged by this and the 1 tower shows. Trump was right when he said if we dont rebuild the twin towers the terrorists win, because it sure feels that way now…

    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 like the twin towers. The one world trade center looks ugly.

  • signature permalink Benjamin Perks * 11/29/2021   Citizens of Other Nations

    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.”

    The Twin Towers should have been rebuilt bigger and better. The lone tower just doesn’t compare. It leaves the skyline feeling void of the American strength and resilience that the towers symbolized. It’s sad and I hope it will be corrected someday.

    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. Twin Towers 💙

    The ‘twin towers’ or World Trade Centers MUST be rebuilt. It is the only way in which we can recover from the 9/11 tragedy. Making the two towers stand tall once again will bring America in union and put a smile in the New York skyline. This time the towers should be tall, but retain the same fundamental design of the original World Trade Centre. The twin towers must stand again.

  • signature permalink Owais Gholizadeh * 9/29/2021   Citizens of Other Nations

    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.

    Translation: Since I was a child, I have always been interested in the history of the Twin Towers, I always hoped that one day they would rebuild them, stronger and safer, as a symbol of resilience for the United States and the entire world. The fall of the towers meant a before and after for humanity, but I believe that the best way to heal the wound left by so much evil, would be to see them upright as they always should have been.

  • signature permalink Brandon Shuck 9/28/2021   All Other NY & NJ Residents

    The twin towers are the symbol of NYC. I never got the chance to see the towers myself but I would like to see them rebuilt and standing tall once again. Like Donald Trump once said “If we don’t rebuild the twin towers, the terrorists win” The towers need to come back and stronger than ever!

  • signature permalink Patrick Slane 9/16/2021   All Other Americans

    I am tired of only one tower where two once stood and us calling it “a bold recovery.” I am tired of Americans looking down. It is about time we started looking up again. I am tired of us saying “Never Forget.” I choose to say “Rebuild” because I dream of the day when all Americans can say “REBUILT!”

  • signature permalink Aidan A * 9/14/2021   All Other NY & NJ Residents

    The World Trade Center should be rebuilt, as the World Trade Center was, except taller, a lot stronger, and a lot bolder! The skyline seems empty, as if something is missing – because something is missing! It’s what the nation needs, and it is what the nation wants.

    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!

  • signature permalink Eve Burrus 9/12/2021   9/11 Survivors & Families

    I have always been a believer of reincarnation. Recently, I did regression therapy and found out that I died in 9/11 in my past life. It was always so obvious, since I was one of those kids who knew about the event before it was taught to me. Being connected to this event, I feel like the new building didn’t do the victims justice. Instead, it presents itself like a bad joke. The only way to do 9/11 victims and their families justice is to rebuild the original towers and do the job right!

  • signature permalink Louis Espo 9/11/2021   All Other NY & NJ Residents

    Although I think that the Freedom Tower is pretty Cool, I Want the Twin Towers back! They are what makes New York’s Skyline complete, I look at the Skyline and wish I could’ve been alive to see the Twin Towers, but no… I didn’t ever get to see them in person… But I signed this petition so I can hope that I can still see them one day…

  • signature permalink Crystal Clark 9/5/2021   Citizens of Other Nations

    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.

  • signature permalink Codey Gibson 8/26/2021   All Other Americans

    I was 9 years old when the tragedy occurred, I cry with every bit of research I do, but I’ve studied everything in and out all aspects I’ve grown to be so familiar with the twin towers like I grew up across the street from them, I love America and I will forever be heartbroken, I ask everyday why this had to happen to women and children, and hard working men who served our country, maybe not as protectors or defenders, but true American men who deserved protection in they’re beloved country, I tell myself if I were given the option to sacrifice myself to save these towers I would do it a million times, God bless America all the lives lost, forever in our hearts, never forgive, never forget, AND NEVER AGAIN PLEASE. These towers need to stand tall again to show American STANDS BACK UP.

We will re-build and we will re-live the positive energies that the twin towers in NYC represent…

  • signature permalink Daniel Gutierrez 5/31/2021   All Other Americans

    The Twin Towers should DEFINITELY be rebuilt, taller and stronger than the originals! But since they can’t be rebuilt on the original site, they could be built somewhere else in Lower Manhattan, possibly even Midtown so it’s never too late.

    I have studied the twin towers for years and what they built there is garbage. They can’t even count right because they forgot a tower 6 in their plans. I believe that we need something that not only symbolises the past and nostalgia but the future and hope.

    The twin towers should be rebuilt because the twin towers were a national symbol of America, tall and prospering. Ever since they’ve been taken down in 9/11 and replaced with some ugly buildings, I don’t know what America even is anymore. The twin towers were the national icon of America, heck I’d try to work there if it was rebuilt. America isn’t whole without the two towers of steel. The problem with the twin towers was the mistake of sending everyone back up when a plane hit one of the towers, but now we know if something like a loud bang happens, evacuate. The stairs were okay, but need to be a bit wider. Please bring back America’s meaning, through the rebuilding of the twin towers.

  • signature permalink Jack Willette * 2/11/2021   All Other Americans

    Hello I’m Jack. I’m a 14 year old teenager from Chicago. Growing up around a big city I’m used to seeing big buildings such as the Willis Tower that we have here. Ever since I had visited New York in 2019 I’ve been obsessed with the old Twin Towers. When I visited Ground Zero I thought that something was definitely missing. I’ve been asking the question, when will they rebuild the Twin Towers? forever now. Me being born in 2007 I was never alive to witness and experience a staple of American history and I think 2021 is finally that year that I get to experience it. Long live the Twin Towers!!!!!!!!

  • signature permalink Javier Barrio 1/19/2021   Citizens of Other Nations

    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.

Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition's purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you.

Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we have highlighted excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. We rarely do that now and it was never a methodical effort, but just a window on public opinion regarding this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case that the public was sidelined on something that mattered so much.

TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology. If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn't activated, or it is made using a different email address, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will delete the earlier entry and, if it was verified, verify the new one, since the clear intention is to make the new comment visible. We may decide to manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message.

Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one's full name is always preferred, but when a name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private.

* Indicates that the signer has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software. They are included out of respect for the sincerity of the comments.
