I didn’t grow up with the Twin Towers and I wish I did. I want the Twin Towers back.
Having the Twin Towers back would show the strength of America. The freedom tower shows we lost. The Twin Towers will show a big middle finger to those people who knocked our buildings down 19 years ago.
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.
Rebuild the towers!!
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.
What the WTC meant to me as an Australian:They symbolize not only NYC but the United States, the uniqueness and history with these majestic structures are something that is nowhere else in the world, since Philippe Petit’s 1974 stunt: performing acrobatics on a thin wire strung between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, to George Willig who climbed the South Tower of the World Trade Center on May 26, 1977, to King Kong and the many movies for which they were a back drop.
They are iconic in every sense. Donald Trump & architect Ken Gardner offered a plan to rebuild them taller and stronger but their idea was ignored. To rebuild would show the world America can’t and won’t be beaten, yet what is there now is the opposite…
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 twin towers seemed to be part of the heartbeat of NYC.
Bring them back!
The Twin Towers where Iconic Buildings in the World and they should be rebuild.
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.
America is stronger than terrorism and rebuilding the Twin Towers would be a symbol of it.
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 BRING LIKE TWIN TOWERS BACK TO LIFE! THEY WERE A NEW YORK ICON, NOT FOR THE UNITED STATES, BUT FOR EVERYONE!
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.
The Towers were an iconic piece of American history and quintessential to the New York skyline. We need to rebuild the towers.
I agree they need to rebuild the twin towers but the memorial and freedom tower need to stay where they are.
Would love to see another twin put up next to the new tower.
For Twin Towers Alliance !
I want the original World Trade Center to be built just as much as everyone on the TTA and believe it is missing in our skyline. If they were rebuilt they would be beautiful right next to the One World Trade Center. Nobody is listening to us and what we truly want. We love One World Trade Center but we miss those tall grey rectangular buildings. That’s why we must protest to rebuild them on April 4, 2020, the 46th anniversary of the World Trade Center being complete, at The World Trade Center Plaza — the exact same, no difference: same color, same design, same height, same amount of floors, same everything — so this generation can know their beauty.
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.
They were not only New York City’s twin towers they were Americas’s twin towers. Rebuild our twin towers.
