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!

New York is not the same without the Twin Towers. They were beautiful buildings, Yamasaki created a beautiful design…please keep it (safety standards of course).

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 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.

America is stronger than terrorism and rebuilding the Twin Towers would be a symbol of it.

The Towers were an iconic piece of American history and quintessential to the New York skyline. We need to rebuild the towers.

They were not only New York City’s twin towers they were Americas’s twin towers. Rebuild our twin towers.

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.

Rebuild the towers. That is what the greatest country in the world would do. Anything less is a win for our enemies.

Ideally there would be two feet for every person who died that day as the height of the main faces of the new Twin Towers. They deserve to be rebuilt with modern and ancient technologies being integrated better than ever, it is only fair to New York City to rebuild better than before. That is why there must solely be additional safety precautions.

1. Post-Tensioned Concrete poured into each exterior column and floor plate, so planes can’t just come and slice through the building.
2. Tunneled Fulton and Greenwich Streets under the plaza, providing major access points through which to access the World Trade Center.
3. New Carbon Fiber Elevator Cables, which promise to vastly extend the distance between sky lobbies.

We must build them with 120 stories. The Twin Towers is an American symbol that must be rebuilt. Those who lost their lives, deserve better, a lot better. Larry Silverstein is a disgrace.

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.

I want the twins towers back because they wasn’t just skyscrapers they were monuments !!! ❤️

Needs to be done.

I, like most people never got to see the World Trade Center before 9/11, I believe we should rebuild the World Trade Center complex similar to what it once was. The Twins need to be rebuilt so the NYC skyline can look like it used to.

I think the towers should be rebuilt.

I was only two years old on the day of 9/11, and believe it or not, I can remember seeing it on tv that day. I had always been in awe at the towers, but it was not until I was in High School I did a report on them. I had to study the whole World Trade Center Complex and that is when I fell in love with the towers. It’s so sad how much people overlook about them! They were a city within a city. New York seemed to be a much happier place when they were around. I am so in love with the towers that I visit the St.Louis airport terminal, which was designed by the same architech who designed the towers. Many people say that the terminal has a similar feel to the lobby of the original towers. I was so awe struck by that. We need the towers back!

Being born in 2004 I think I can speak to all born after 2001, The twin towers were what made New York New York. Thousands and practically millions of people around the world would come to see the towers. They were what defined us as Americans. It’s sad to know that We younger generations where robbed of that majestic sight. Now I look at the freedom tower and feel disappointed. It’s sad looking and just not the WORLD TRADE CENTER. Yes it may be taller but how are you gonna compare 1 tower to 2? The freedom tower was built and it just looks sad all the time. A constant stab reminding you of what happened. So please with a desperate cry, do what is right and rebuild the twin towers! Make New York great again!

I was born after 9/11 happened (December, 2001) so I haven’t actually had a chance to see the twin towers in real life. But, whenever I am online doing research and I see the buildings, I cry a bit because they are not there anymore and I wouldn’t be able to experience seeing them. They are the most amazing looking buildings America has by far ever had. I just have a love for the design the buildings had, with all of the columns rising all the way to the top of the building and all around them on the outside, they were the best designed ever yet. I know 99% of Americans would love to see them back, but the government thinks that we would be terrified and reminded of 9/11. If we don’t rebuild them, it just shows that the terrorists won…

I was born in a post-9/11 world, in 2002. The American spirit is just not the same. as many have stated, the twin towers were a beacon of Freedom. One world trade center is a fraud and shows the terrorists that they won. If one of the planes succeeded in hitting the white-house, we wouldn’t have built a smaller and weaker white-house. We need the towers to be rebuilt to prove America’s strength once again.

I was born just 2 months before the horrible tragedy of 9/11. Since I was little, I’ve always had a fascination with the old towers, but I have just recently begun to recognize their powerful influence over America. Those towers stood for something. They stood for American culture and way of life. They stood for American strength. They stood as a “Welcome home” to all hard-working contributing immigrants who came here. They stood for a proud, prosperous, free nation. They were (in my opinion) the greatest symbol of America. Even the flag, which I also hold near and dear to my heart, does not even come close to how powerful the image of these towers is. That is why it is my life goal to rebuild them. You WILL see these towers again someday.

The Twin Towers were the most impressive pieces of architecture of the 20th century. I never got the chance to ever visit them in person. I finally made it to New York nine years too late. It sure seems to me though, that rebuilding the same two towers is really the only way for us to really give the middle finger to the motherfuckers responsible for 9/11….
