The Twin Towers Alliance Petition When someone dies it is impossible to bring them back to life, but we are given a unique opportunity to do just that in this case; bring the Twin Towers back to life instead of being haunted by their absence. — Matt Franzblau | All Other NY & NJ Residents We, the undersigned, share the belief that nothing could be more inspiring to our people, or disheartening to our enemies, than Twin Towers, at least as tall as before in every respect, soaring above Ground Zero. We believe that the devastation of September 11, 2001, clouded the picture long after the rubble was cleared away and that a thorough public examination of the rebuilding option is overdue and now required before proceeding on an unalterable course. We recognize no financial or political roadblocks that cannot be overcome if rebuilding the Towers is the will of the people. And, we see no conflict between stunning Twin Towers and a noble Memorial, which belong together on this site that means so much to us all. We submit that there is only one way to truly heal the skyline of Manhattan and the heart of America: Rebuild the Twin Towers. Doing anything less would leave a permanent scar on the face of New York and diminish a legendary city. The words of our petition ring as true now as they did in 2006. And the thousands of comments that have been left since we first posted it are just a glimpse into how much people have always cared about rebuilding the World Trade Center in a way that would honor the will of the people and the terrible price this country – and the world – paid on 9/11. Now, even though a third tower has joined the two pictured at the end of the slideshow above, the WTC skyline doesn't come close to the awe-inspiring vision of the towers we lost. We trust that time will take care of rebuilding the Twin Towers. From their inception, they were dedicated to world peace and cooperation in ways that no other commercial structure ever was. And, they came to represent the aspirations of millions of people as no other towers ever could. They should not have been abandoned. We have faith that one day the people of this country and the world will recognize the Twin Towers' powerful significance and demand they be restored to the world's skyline. We thank each one who adds his or her name and comment to the petition below for moving our world one step closer to that transcendent day.

I’m not sure if this is still valid or not, but I guess that people like me will keep on dreaming. I have always been inspired by the Twin Towers, by their architecture and their beauty – that almost innocent, but immortal beauty, which only simple shapes can have. I used to consider those two buildings the pinnacle of the architecture of our days. An architectural heritage to the world, like the pyramids in Egypt from another era.
I’d love to see the Twin Towers rise again, like a phoenix bird who rises again from its own ashes to defy death and destruction – as a symbol of immortality.
Let the Twin Towers rise again like two phoenix birds who defy destruction, to convey the message of the immortality of our civilization.
I was born 6 Months after 9/11. I kinda missed out on seeing them. I want nothing more but to witness the Twin Towers again. If we don’t rebuild them we are letting the terrorists win and we can be defeated. The World has gotten worse as we know it ever since 9/11 happened and the Twin Towers NEED to be restored. Without them, there’s no hope. It may take some time but I have faith they will be rebuilt and I will help ensure that happens.
It would be great for me to visit New York and the twin towers. When they collapsed I was 5 years old. I remember how long these terrible images were shown on TV.
New WTC complex as if from another world. It suits Dubai more than New York. Therefore, I only for the restoration of the twin towers!
I want the return of twin towers đșđžâ€
The Twin Towers were the most remarkable icon of New York. The new World Trade Center looks like itâs from another world. The new building doesnât fit in comparison with the rest of the city. Give the people what they want. Rebuild the Twin Towers. We will never forget, even the people from other countries.
Tinha 5 anos e lembro exatamente deste triste dia, do dia em que a AmĂ©rica e o mundo pararam. Creio que foi um erro o que fizeram com o local do WTC, deveriam e devem reconstruir tudo como era antes, dedicando um andar todo ou mais, das torres para homenagear as vĂtimas. Mas o antigo World Trade Center, suas torres e seus outros prĂ©dios deveriam voltar. O One World Trade Center Ă© lindo, mas nĂŁo naquele local. As torres e todo o WTC tinham um poder simbĂłlico inigualĂĄvel. Volte World Trade Center, por favor, como a FĂȘnix que renasce das cinzas tĂŁo forte como antes.
Had 5 years and I remember exactly this sad day, the day that America and the world stopped. I believe it was a mistake for what they did to the site of the World Trade Center, should and must rebuild everything as it was before, dedicating an entire floor or more, of the towers to pay tribute to the victims. But the former World Trade Center, its towers and its other buildings should go back. The One World Trade Center is beautiful, but not at that location. The towers and all the WTC had a symbolic power. World Trade Center back, please, like the Phoenix reborn from the ashes as strong as before.
Yes, I was born in 2001, precisely in February, when they still shone high in the sky. But I was obviously too small to see them, this does not mean to have forgotten them. In fact I’ve always grown up remembering them and seeing them as an icon of the New York skyline. I know it will seem strange, but it is one of my greatest desires, and I do not think to speak only in my name, that of being able to admire them in person, huge, side by side, built as only the American skyscrapers can be. In a word “impressive”.
I hope with all my heart and soul that my dream is realized.
I apologize if my English is not one of the best.
I feel proud signing this petition and being a part of like-minded people. The Twin Towers had their own brilliance, which cannot be compared to nothing. Rebuild The World Trade Center. Restore the soul of NY.
I have always been in loved of the twin towers. I always thought the twin towers, symbol of USA must to be re-built! The re-built would be a sign of love for the country and for all those who lost their life the 9/11.
It would be a dream to come in NY one day and seeing them!
What is Paris without the Eiffel Tower? What is Egypt without the pyramids of Giza? What is China without the Great Wall? What is Berlin without the Brandenburg Gate? What is London without Big Ben? What is Havana without El Morro? What is Rio de Janeiro without Christ the Redeemer?
What is Washington without the White House? What is Los Angeles without the Hollywood sign? What is Chicago without the Sears Tower?
What is New York without the Twin Towers … like a human being without soul and without memory?!!!
Rebuild the Twin Towers now !!!
I was born in 1999 but didn’t see them really because i was too young, i’ve never had any chance to visit it and only recently started thinking about it. While NY has other things the twin towers really stood up. at least make a twin of the freedom tower or rebuild the twin towers. They looked very much like something of 20th century and I’m pretty sure a lot of people from all over the world would visit NY just to see the new twin towers!
We need the twin towers back to show that we have only became stronger! Twin towers back!!!
New York isn’t New York without them.
Get them back!
