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; 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 price this country – and the world – paid on 9/11. Now, even though a third tower has joined the two pictured 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.

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….

I was 25 when the towers fell. Watched the day unfold live on TV, like so many others. The NYC skyline feels empty without the towers. It’s as if the soul of NYC was ripped away. Indeed, America’s soul. The towers were not just a symbol of NYC, but a symbol of America. I can only liken the symbolism to the pyramids in Egypt. Imagine Egypt without the great pyramids. That’s NYC, that’s America without the towers. They certainly don’t have to be in the same general area as the originals, but they should be built. America needs it’s identity back. Our pride back. I haven’t been to NYC in a long time for pleasure, but would certainly return often if the towers were rebuilt just to witness them.
How does one reply but to say BRING THE TOWERS BACK. When I think of NEW YORK CITY my mind goes directly to the TWIN TOWERS and the skyline I’m so used to seeing. It seems naked without the towers. Most people remember the Twin Towers more then any other building. PRESIDENT TRUMP HELP BRING BACK THE TWIN TOWERS. We need this. It’s what New Yorkers want. It’s what America Needs.
Rebuilding the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center is something that should have been done in the first place. Not only would it have restored the skyline of New York City, it would have also been a much bolder message to send about America’s strength and resilience. (Ironically in a MUCH more powerful manner than One World Trade Center) For whatever reason that has not happened. Some might say rebuilding the Twin Towers would be in poor taste, but for me and the rest of the people who signed this petition, it’s the perfect way to honor those who died on 9/11. With modernized and stronger Twin Towers being the perfect memorial.
Building the towers back in the skyline would make a huge statement of american pride and strength. I say if we cant get Port Authority to do it we take this fight to the white house and to the true new yorker in the white house who can do something about it.
I want our towers back. America needs it. The people of the United States need it. Don’t give Al Queda the pleasure. BRING THEM BACK!
The Twin Towers would be symbolic for everyone and I would want to see these towers be rebuilt again because it would show that no matter what comes into Americas path we will all ways overcome it.
The Twin Towers should be rebuilt. The people who are responsible for their attack have won as long as the towers remain in the past. There would not be a more fitting memorial for the victims of that day to see the towers rise again and be the symbol for America of freedom and resiliency to overcome the darkest of days. I was only 7 when 9/11/2001 occurred I to this day am memorized by those towers and was cheated out of being able to visit them. I was at the site for the first time this year and wished I would have gotten to see them. Do the right thing for New York and America Rebuild The Twin Towers
This would fill out the skyline. I was born in Tallahassee, Florida, but raised the New York way! I would have loved to go on the top of the South Tower, and look over the top of everything! This would make it the best in the world!
I wasn’t born on 9/11, so I never got a chance to visit the twin towers. It’s my dream. Give me the chance!
We need to restore lower Manhattan. Every era has their symbol in New York City. The Twin Towers were a symbol of the late 20th century and its contribution to New York. The Empire State was a symbol of the early 20th century. Right now we have a gap in New York and we need to hurry and rebuild the twin towers. The majority of people born after 1991 do not care about restoring the towers so we must act quick because slowly but surely those that remember the towers will be gone some day. ΨΨΨ REBUILD!
Let’s build replicas; bring the 90’s feel back!
That would be nice if they did build New Twin Towers.
Too Late… I was born almost one year after the towers fell. Knowing what my fellow Americans went through, nothing would fill me with more pride than to see the Lower Manhattan skyline restored to its former glory.
We particularly appreciate this comment because it highlights a pervasive misunderstanding, which our new home page will clearly expose.
Rebuild the Twin Towers. Need I say more? The only buildings that belong back on Ground Zero are the Twin Towers. It’s the only proper choice. America deserves the Twin Towers as a rebirth of its dedication to world peace. It needs a symbol that can express the American spirit better than a thousand words. Make the World Trade Center the same soulful place it was 20 years ago. Rebuild the Twin Towers. Make a positive difference in America.
I was born in 2001, I never got to see the Twin Towers :( WE NEED TO REBUILD THEM, WE NEED TO REBUILD THEM!! The original WTC was a very grand symbol for NYC and the United States of America. They were well known across the world! The towers were beautiful and really defined the NYC skyline. If we don’t rebuild them, the terrorists win. Let’s say your mom died, and then they say “she died, but here’s a new, different one!†IT’S NOT THE SAME. If we build them stronger & safer, it will show the world we will ALWAYS heal from the ashes and come back stronger than ever…WE ARE AMERICA. Imagine if they are rebuilt—it would have a TREMENDOUS amount of tourism! My life will be complete when they are rebuilt, I WANT TO SEE THESE BUI
I was born after the 9/11 attacks, and I didn’t know what had happened until I was around 5-6. I remember for the first time watching the Disney film Oliver and Company. It started with a great establishing shot of New York. That was the first time I’d ever seen them before, all I had known about NY was the Empire State Building. I thought they were coolest things in the world, idk why. So later on I caught a movie or an episode of a TV show on cable, idk what it was but it featured the Twin Towers. I hadn’t seen them in a live action film before and it blew my mind, I fell in love with them. Anyway, later I told my mother about how I wanted to go to NY and see them, which is when I learned about 9/11. I wanted to see them all my life.
The only true way would be to build similar Twin Towers. As always, prayers to the victims and families!
Our beloved twin towers were the most iconic of New York City. By leaving them in the past, you are knowingly allowing our enemies to claim victory. Ridding this planet Osama’s disgusting presence wasn’t enough. We want our Twin Towers back! Nothing, especially not the new, inferior to the original, “One World Trade Center” will ever be capable of replacing our glorious towers. Time will never heal those wounds. Sixteen years is far too long of a wait! Only the rebirth of our beloved towers will heal those soars. Hear our demands, and do as we the people desire! Give us back our towers and reintroduce the people of New York City with the greatest sense of pride, honor, and dignity that only their beloved twin towers were capable of giving.
I never got to go inside the twin towers and will if they get rebuilt just have to knock down that dumb one world trade center
