It would be restoring to see twins of the new design. It would show that the US doesn’t have to be defaced due to terrorism.
Rebuilding the twin towers is the only way for America to truly heal. Time alone will not do it. The new towers and fountains in the area do not do it justice. Rebuilding the towers bigger and stronger is the ultimate F you to enemies of peace and love for all people. It is also the ultimate memorial to the people lost. A lot better than some fountains with their names on it. However, if it’s possible, the towers should be built on top of the fountains, with the bottom being open air so the fountains can still be there. The iconic entry arches could be perfect for this too. Just without the glass, furniture, and floors behind them until 3 stories up. I might be rich from my video game company some day. I’d like to buy the land and build it.
NYC’s skyline is not the same without the majestic twin towers gracing it. We as New Yorkers hope that our elected officials will listen and do the right thing and rebuild the twin towers bigger and stronger than ever and show those who hate our great nation that we will never be defeated because we are NY STRONG!
The Twin Towers were among the most iconic buildings in the world and New York, the United States and the entire world is not the same without them. The Twin Towers were beautiful buildings both in the day and at night – they were a simplistic yet sophisticated design starting at the ground with their iconic steel trees. I sincerely hope that new Twin Towers will one day be constructed and that the New York skyline will be restored. It is terrible that the Twin Towers have been absent from our world for nineteen years now and I hope that one day this petition is submitted to the United States Government and will lead to the resurrection of two of the greatest towers in the world.
On September 11th, America lost her innocence and entered a decade of paranoia, only inflamed by the Housing Bubble bursting in 2008-09. Nothing was the same after the attack, and our elected officials ignored the people and implemented a plan at Ground Zero that did not represent what we wanted. One World Trade Center symbolizes the bourgeois class, and how New York changed and has become a playground for the rich in one way or another. The Towers on the other hand symbolized Working Class America. The Twin Towers weren’t just “two filing cabinets”, they represented America. The Yin and Yang, per se, a monument for world peace and our dedication to making the world better. This is why I genuinely believe we *need* to rebuild.
With much of love from France.
I remember when I first heard about the twin towers when I was a kid, and I was always saddened by the 9/11 tragedy, as my cousin Jimmy Lovero was killed. Also, I always viewed the Twins as a beautiful site, and unfortunately never got the chance to see them, due to me being born a year and half after 9/11. When they were building the new project, I automatically disliked it. As I found it very disrespectful to the American Nation on how people are getting the wrong message, about how we can’t move forward. There is still hope to rebuild these twins, and we need to make this the real WTC, as I don’t like the Freedom Tower, as I don’t think it’s good architecture at all.
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.
I express my full support to the Twin Towers Alliance and would like nothing more than to see the Legendary Twin Towers of New York rebuilt. I was always a fan of the original WTC and like millions of other European people we miss the Twin Towers and would like the trademark of New York to return and restore the Glory of the Manhattan skyline.
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.
my dream since I was little was to know the twin towers, it breaks my soul not to see the twin towers on the horizon only a hole is seen I hope to see the twin towers in life
“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”.
My name is Zach Cestaro, I dream of one day being a PAPD Officer. I would like to be assigned one day to the WTC, but however don’t currently like the New Design, as I find it dishonoring to the American people and 9/11 victims, and also shows that we can truly never heal from the 9/11 attacks. If we let more progress like this happen, the terrorists will win, and we need to prove them wrong. There have been many heroes that died on 9/11, Port Authority Officers, and many more heroes as well, and what they would want is for us to build the towers and hope it happens soon, no matter what, it’s never too late to do the right thing.
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 believe the twin towers were beautiful the way they were and building a different building shows that we will come back differently. Had we built the World Trade Center how they were only stronger it would show that once you knock us down we will get right back up!
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 symbol of America as well as New York are the Twin Towers, and they simply have to be rebuilt. Maybe a monument can be made on top of the buildings. We should definitely start this project stronger and more decisively. Is there such a thing in action?
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 loss of the towers was a loss of identity for the city of New York and America. Everyone wants them back. They stood for the principles of this great country, and symbolized our unstoppable economy. Failing to rebuild one of the most culturally significant structures was a huge mistake. It’s time to give people hope and correct this. It’s time to bring them back!
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!
New York is not the same without the Twin Towers. They were beautiful buildings, Yamasaki created a beautiful design…please keep it (safety standards of course).
