Yes I am so glad that I found this, thank you thank you thank you!!! We need to rebuild the Twin Towers because I was born after 9/11 and never got to see their beauty!!! PLEASE REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!
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.
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!!!!!!!!
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.
The Twin Towers are the symbol of New York and America for the whole world. Their restoration will be the best memorial to the endurance and firmness of the American spirit and Western civilization.
As I sit here writing this, I’m listening to “How Deep is Your Love”, a song that played at the World Trade Center for many years and during the attacks. Growing up I don’t remember visiting the Twins, but I found out recently through my mom that I did as a baby. I’ve been to the new complex of course, but the new buildings don’t do any justice for me. America lost a lot more than it gained with the policies put in place, but not more than the void that sits over the new site. One WTC just doesn’t do it for me as much as I want to say it would. Of course now they’ll never have the chance since the site is almost finished, and as weird as this sounds I hope the Twins are rebuilt elsewhere. I want to see them again with my own eyes.
I don’t live in Manhattan, So I don’t know what the citizens of USA think when they look across Hudson river at Manhattan skyline. What I see as a guy who never had a chance to see Twins live, is a ordinary city with shity glass buildings that are being built in every street of the world. One Wtc is actually as well as it looks, smaller than original Wtc. It’s that ugly antenna that makes it look tall. I don’t wanna even talk about it’s ugly design. It might fit with some other city, but NOT New York. What I would love to see, what would make me a happiest man in Europe, is to see Twin towers Again dominating the skyline, higher than before, to put those ugly Larry Silverstein’s buildings in a shadow that all the New Yorkers grew up with. Two giant symbols of power and USA . . .
I’m born 1 years and one month after the towers have been destroy. When I was a child the view of the plane crash into the tower afraid and estonished me. At the time it was impossible two towers like them, it seem to me like a dream and keep looking at them. I pray for all the people who die that day. Few year later I keep looking at this beautiful tower who represent really well New-York of the end of 20’s century. We must rebuild the towers if it’s not at WTC it will be on the other side of the Hudson River in New Jersey or the other side of Manhattan Island or maybe an other western country. But I think 20 years after the attack in a world of geopolitic tension and mulitplication of terrorist attack in Europe. We must show strong we are than ever. We have to rebuild the towers. The new should be without the flaw of their time (wind problem, structure problem etc). We can construct modern twin towers or with the original architecture. I hope, I can go to New York City one day or any where else, Titanic will be rebuild. We can hope the same things for the Twin Towers.
Even though time goes, WTC really did symbolise the skyline of NYC, the sight of two skyscrapers and the statue of liberty really did symbolise the morale of Manhattan. I hope this Plan goes forward and WTC 2 can go ahead
The twin towers where the premier symbol of American prosperity and economic might. By not rebuilding them, we have allowed our enemies to change our way of life. Instead we have built a single tower that was built around fear. We cannot allow our way of life to be altered by cowards. The Twin Towers should have been rebuilt 15 years ago.
I live near Venice (was born on 1977). My aunt, was born in Ohio, and since I was child, she spoke to me of NYC and the skyline of Manhattan. I received sometimes from her, postcards with photo of the Twin Towers. Since then I started to love those towers. I never had the opportunity to go and see them. On 9/11 2001, my dream was broken. And my heart was broken, for the victims of that tragedy, and because I realized that I could never see that magnificent towers. I think Twin Towers, those Twin Towers, designed by Minoru Yamasaki, was one of the most beautiful architectures been ever built in the world, perhaps the most beautiful in absolute. Nothing like that has ever been made, neither before nor after. They were masterpieces of art. So please, rebuild them, a perfect replica, thank you
Hi, I’m 11 years old. I think that they should be rebuilt because, there is no reason not to!
The Twin Towers were a symbol of both New York but also of the USA. When you saw the towers in movies you knew exactly where you were. Please bring them back.
The Twin Towers were bold, iconic and striking. They have to be rebuilt to restore the skyline once and for all, the skyline needs replica twin towers.
As a former Staten Islander the Twin Towers were always in view and what defined New York City and ultimately what made our city skyline far different from anywhere on the planet. I would love to see these beautiful buildings restored as monuments of remembrance and not to be occupied. By doing this we can restore our skyline with also paying respects to the lives lost that day. People say to never forget, but if there are two monuments there it would be difficult to forget.
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!
