The Twin Towers should DEFINITELY be rebuilt, taller and stronger than the originals! But since they can’t be rebuilt on the original site, they could be built somewhere else in Lower Manhattan, possibly even Midtown so it’s never too late.

The towers were beautiful buildings, let’s rebuild them to make sure those who never experienced them do, and those who did get to experience them once more. It will also help re-claim some of the post 9/11 innocence America lost after this tragic event.

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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 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.

The Twin Towers were what symbolized New York and America. They were in hundreds of movies and when you spotted them you knew exactly where you were. They symbolized much more than just the city of New York they symbolized America and our progress as a nation. If we do not rebuild the twin towers we are allowing the terrible people who committed the attacks to take away a symbol of American unity and freedom forever.

I think the original twin towers looked very cool. If we can somehow rebuilt the look of the original towers but somehow also make the structural integrity able to withstand an attack of similar proportions, then i’m sure everyone will be happy with the result. I stand with the rebuilding of the towers.
