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.

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

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
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 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.

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.

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

“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”.

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.

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…

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 made the One WTC 6 floors shorter than the twin towers? Why? I don’t know. The new twin towers will be 112 stories tall! I think if we wanted to build a symbol of healing we would build a taller building. Right?

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.

The Twin Towers were the most remarkable icon of New York. The new World Trade Center looks like it’s from another world. The new building doesn’t 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 América 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 vítimas. Mas o antigo World Trade Center, suas torres e seus outros prédios deveriam voltar. O One World Trade Center é lindo, mas não naquele local. As torres e todo o WTC tinham um poder simbólico inigualável. Volte World Trade Center, por favor, como a Fênix que renasce das cinzas tão forte como antes.
Translation: 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.
