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.

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

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 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!

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.

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 feel we should have replaced both towers and NOT put up a TV broadcasting antenna that resembles a Muslim minaret on a single ugly tower. Sincerely, Irv
Even though I was only two when it happened, as a freedom-loving patriotic American, I look at what happened on 9/11 as an attack on the United States by those whose goal was to destroy these symbols of our economic prosperity, crush the American spirit, and destroy our way of life. If we go ahead with the current plan and continue to build these new odd buildings over where these symbols once stood, instead of rebuilding the original structures bigger and better and stronger than ever, then the terrorists and those who sought to destroy these symbols will win, and they will have succeeded in accomplishing their primary goal, which is something as Americans we cannot accept or allow. Rebuild the original towers.

I was born in ’95 and never got to go see them, I never even new they existed until I clicked on a 9/11 memorial video at 13 years old and was horrified! I fully expected them to be rebuilt but they where not inset an ugly giant tombstone was erected as a statement piece for the corporations rather then try to recover from what happened!

I never got to see the Twin Towers in person, though I hope that will change soon. The Freedom Tower is fine, but it should be in another city, heck, even another borough. If what it takes to rebuild the Twin Towers is razing the new World Trade Center,then I’m down with that.

I’m among the many people who never got to visit the original World Trade Center prior to 9/11. Looking back at video footage of that tragic day is positively heartbreaking, and I’d give anything to see those tall towers return anywhere in the world, let alone to the Manhattan skyline. The new One World Trade Center is nice and all, but it’s just not the same.

I’m not a big person in politics, I’m not a big person in government, in fact I’m not even old enough to vote. I just believe that the towers represented America’s freedom it represented America. When the terrorists took that away from us they robbed us of our Liberty, they robbed us of what stood for us. If there was a way to bring them back, for my children to see, my grandchildren to see, that would be amazing… Bring back the Twin Towers!

That Freedom Tower in New York City doesn’t remind me of 9/11 at all. I think the Twin Towers would be a better reminder of that day and would be more respectful to the 9/11 victims and families than the Freedom Tower is or ever will be.

The World Trade Center was a complex that symbolized NYC & symbolized our country and ever since the tragic events of 9/11/01 our voices and opinions haven’t been heard and that goes for the victims who survived and the families that lost their loved ones on 9/11. I ask that we as a community and those who own the WTC complex listen to us and rebuild the Twin Towers (the original World Trade Center complex completely) & on a personal note I would love to see the Twin Towers come back because those towers and the complex was such a unique place to be at and it was a unique place that took the hearts of millions of people and like I said it defined the NYC skyline and NYC.

I have sometimes wondered why the Twin Towers were not rebuilt instead of that pretty but not-good-enough thing they just threw down, and leaving those two giant fountain-holes. After visiting this website, I now realize it was worse than I thought. The Twin Towers need to return. They were stolen from us and any red-blooded American or New Yorker should be very angry that they haven’t been rebuilt — good on Donald Trump for throwing his weight behind Twin Towers II. As a Millennial, my only memory of the WTC is of the smoking doomed skyscrapers. 9/11 defined the Twins for my generation. That’s not right. The WTC is just a tragedy memorial now. As long as that’s the case, Al Qaeda’s won. RAZE ONE, PUT UP TWO!!

I don’t understand why the Port Authority didn’t rebuild the Twin Towers in the first place.
The new World Trade Center complex isn’t terrible, but really? In my opinion, the only way we could heal from 9/11 is if the WTC be built how it was when it was destroyed.
Al-Qaeda wanted the Twin Towers destroyed, and by wasting time for these new designs, we are giving them what they wanted.
The new World Trade Center is a “giant middle-finger” to the victims and their families; the only way to heal this nation is to rebuild the towers.

I was born overseas in the year 96 and I was too young to remember 9/11. Heck I wasn’t aware of the Twin Towers existing until I saw the 76 remake of King Kong. Upon years later I saw what the new World Trade Center was going to look like and that’s when I found this site. I did question why don’t they rebuild towers. It left me for some years until I went to New York for the first time. I liked the Freedom Tower when I saw it in person but it would look nicer with the towers next to it. After my trip I saw what the new design of WTC2 was going to look like and I hated it! That’s when my appreciation for the Twin Towers grew! They’re my favorite NY landmark second to the Empire State Building and I want to see them back!!!

We need the Twin Towers. The new tower, One World Trade Center, just does not do it justice. I can’t even express the amount of sadness I have that those buildings aren’t there anymore, and what’s in their place is an eyesore, a modern contemporary-design skyscraper that completely ignores what made the Twin Towers unique. Nothing like them has ever existed, they were a tribute to the time period in which they were built, and a symbol of America. New York, and America itself needs the Twin Towers back.
