Until there are twin towers hovering over the skyline of New York, we are defeated. Every time I see a period movie or re-broadcast of a period sitcom with the original twin towers in the background, I am sickened to my stomach. I believe every American will rest much better when, once again, we can look upon the skyline of New York City and see what we expect to see. The Freedom Tower simply cannot fill the void. Once might as well attempt to replace the Statue of Liberty with an obelisk.

I completely agree with the push to rebuild the World Trade Center. However I don’t like the design that is currently being implemented. I personally believe if we rebuild the World Trade Center of New York we need to do it the right way and the only right way I see are the Twin Towers. They stood as symbols of American Pride, American Culture and American Power. Now with them wiped out, New York just doesn’t look the same. I was only a child when September 11th occurred but there is to me something about the Twin Towers that evokes the majesty and beauty of what we can do. The Twin Towers may never stand again physically, but they will always stand spiritually in our hearts.

I can just say I wish I had the opportunity to visit the Twin Towers. They were so beautiful in their own unique way and people in high places need to realize that rebuilding the Twin Towers would certainly help heal a huge scar that still exists in every corner of the world today. Hopefully in my lifetime the towers will be rebuilt right where they once were.

I believe the twin towers should be restored and show all nations that not even 9/11 can break us.

I was born in 1996, which means the towers fell when I was five. I was in Kindergarten at the time. Thus, I and millions of others grew up in what is called a post 9/11 era. I’ve never been to New York. I never got to see them, I hadn’t even heard of them yet. And so those terrorists have robbed me of a life with these beauties in the New York sky. I will never stand in the North or South towers of the WTC. But one decision from the birocrats in New York can change that, for all of us. Have you seen the movie Moonstruck? In it, we see this gorgeous moon (part of the story) and an old man comes into a plaza bathed in moonlight and out in the distance stand the twin towers, huge, tall, and comforting. It’s moving, and the Freedom Tower ju

The freedom tower doesn’t cut it. We want the twin towers

I want the twin towers to be rebuilt because I never got to see them. The towers should be built on the waterfall footprints. The names of those who have died on February,26,1993 and September,11,2001 in both tower lobbies. The towers will give more office space for those who want to work in them. It will give people a chance to see what the towers were like before 9/11. New York needs to have its twin towers back in the skyline.

The United States of America should never give in to fear that allows the terrorists to decide our skylines. We are a very proud and courageous country and the American Dream resonates very strong throughout this world. The Twin Towers were a brilliant beacon of our message realised. This symbol of American Spirit should not perish due to fear and worry.

Just do it.

the new tower and upcoming surrounding structures are horrible eyesores that show the terrorists won and america is evil and greedy. reconstruction would have spit in the face of terror, and inspired america in its time of sorrow. from 2008 and onward, i have NOT been proud to be an american, because of our government making us look like weak greedy pretentious liberal douchbags.

As an American who was only 15 when 9/11 took place, I never saw them in person because I lived in California at the time. I would love to see them again.

I was wondering since the towers were not rebuilt, is there plans to at least relocate them in New York City? If we lost the ground where they originally stood, does that make them any less important if they’re still rebuilt at another place in New York City?

TTA Note: The Twin Towers, as icons of a once-great country, would have significance wherever they would appear.

While growing up, I’ve always viewed the Twin Towers as the tallest buildings in the world (even though they weren’t, obviously). I was fascinated by them and loved them. They were certainly iconic of New York and even the US during my childhood. I think it would be proper I’d they were rebuilt instead of the current complex, which is bland and poorly planned in my opinion.

Rebuild the towers! Scrap the futuristic one world trade building and bring up a project that actually blends in with nyc. Rebuild the towers!

I would LOVE to see these towers rebuilt someday in NYC nearby where they originally were. If not in NYC, I would still be happy to see them in another major American city. They were simple, yet symbolic. Symbols should never be taken away or changed in my opinion.

I don’t believe that they would cause sadness by being rebuilt. It would prove that we are a strong country. I am sad that they are not there anymore.

We are Americans. We are proud. We are strong. That’s why we should rebuild and as an American I think we need both towers and freedom.

We should rebuild A.S.A.P. and build bigger and better and build as close to freedom tower as possible if it is possible to show terrorist that they cant stop us from being strong, and that we don’t give up. Then we could say, yeah, they took the towers from us. But, we rebuilt them bigger and better. We even added a third one to remember and honer those who lost their lives that day and to show that the U.S. WONT FORGET, GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

I was only 1 year old when 9/11 occurred and I want the 2 twin towers back — the towers that were a symbol of not just the U.S. but a symbol of humanity.

I am one of many who had never got to see the twin towers. It would be an honor to all us Americans if they rebuild the twin towers. It would mean the world to all of us to have the New York skyline back to the way it was. Don’t you think we deserve this for all that were lost on that day show the terrorists that we still stand strong and we aren’t scared of nobody? I think this is what America needs to be back on top once again. Thank you for your time.
