Though I don’t even remember September 11th since I was very young, I just love the Twin Towers. They’re beautiful. And whenever I am reminded that they aren’t being rebuilt and that a new tower will replace it; I am furious. America deserves to have a say at what we want at The World Trade Center. I love the Twin Towers, and although I don’t have any memories of them, I still miss them. I truly hope we can have the towers back in the skyline.

I was 6 when that day reared its head, but I do remember it. A child can have his life affected at a young age, I saw my parents distraught, and filled with grief. I didn’t quite understand it at the time, but I still remember that being a very sad day for me. As I became older and could understand it I was still confused in some areas. To think that these icons of America could be swept down to the ground along with many hopes, dreams, and morale. My point is, what does a strong person do? Do you get knocked off of your feet and stay down? Or do you rise from the dust, pull yourself together, and fight back with more confidence than ever? America needs to restore the morale that fell with the towers, and come back stronger than ever.

Though I wasn’t in NY on 11 Sep 01, the images, eye witness accounts and national heart ache have been with me ever since. While some may say to rebuild the towers is to invite another attack, I ask this: Why aren’t you tearing down all other skyscrapers to avoid such a catastrophe? My grandmother once told me “you can die crossing the street, so live life to the fullest every day.” Personally, I think that One World Trade Center (freedom tower) is ghastly looking. It’s like seeing a mockery of everything that occured that fateful day in September. I can’t see a more fitting way to honor those who were lost than by saying “OK, you got us, but guess what? We’re back and better than before, and we’ll keep coming back…

The Twin Towers Need to be rebuilt as The Twin Towers if we don’t we have ULTIMATELY Lost to The Terrorists by letting them CHANGE the Skyline of New York But If we do a SUCCESSFUL Rebuild We have WON! AND DON’T FORGET The Twin Towers were People Too and This Memorial isn’t Respecting them one bit they laid down their lives but what do they get in return? WATER down their footprints do what’s RIGHT AND REBUILD WTC TWIN TOWERS WHY SETTLE FOR LESS?! That Way we are respecting Both The TWIN TOWERS and The 9/11 VICTIMS and their families-Aaron Skinner

I live to see the old towerS back… I want to be an architect and my motivation IS AND WAS the WORLD TRADE CENTER! I’ve always wanted to go see them in real life… But now… I feel and I’m sorry but the so~called new buildings are so ugly and nowhere near close with blending in with their surroundings. I mean they’re making us look held~back with technology… COME~ON, if I’m right…? We are one of the top 3 most advanced technological countries in the world… All I can say is that they have made a big mistake… “YOU CAN’T TURN BACK NOW.” Well what’s done… is done… But I believe that someday the most beautiful buildings WILL stand again…! And I’m ONLY 17.

The Twin Towers should have been rebuilt. Sadly the Freedom Tower is almost complete and it is impossible to get our skyline back to the way it was before September 11, 2001. I really miss the Twin Towers and nothing can ever replace them.
The Twin Towers had 110 stories while the Freedom Tower only has 104 floors. Is this the way to recover from the worst terrorist attacks on American soil? We have failed and the terrorists have won by changing our skyline. What a shame.

I still to this day believe that the Twin Towers should be rebuilt! They stood for so much more than just the buildings they were, they represent a place in each Americans Heart as our heritage and a proud symbol of our very being. The New World Trade Center idea is nice on the low side, but the Twin Towers were brilliant on the high side, it would show the world that you can take buildings down, but we can build them right back, the lives lost wouldn’t be in vain but can be used to maintain to terrorist and the world that WE ARE HERE TO STAY! What a slap in the face to any terrorist group to know that their efforts didn’t succeed in taking them away forever!

Me, personally, I want the Twin Towers rebuilt. But since the Port Authority is so dismissive toward everything that makes sense, who says we have to rebuild the TTs at Ground Zero? Why don’t we rebuild them in another part of Manhattan, maybe closer to the Empire State Building?
Really and truly, I don’t think the new planned complex at the end of Manhattan deserves to be called the World Trade Center. It’s not even worthy of that name! What do you think people at Twin Towers Alliance? If the hard-headed jackasses at the Port Authority continue to dismiss the one, no, two things Americans want, why don’t we take the WTC elsewhere in Manhattan? This way the North and South Towers of the WTC return taller than they originally were.

Please, please folks, let’s rebuild the twin towers besides the current freedom tower structures. Rather than pulling down the newly built ones that are a waste of hard earned public funds and efforts, let us increase the skylines AHEAD of the surging chinese infrustructure. After all, we initiated the skyscraper culture and that feat should stay with us. There are so many low rise old and shanty skylines that can be replaced with modern skylines. We also need to spread our skylines all over the New York City rather than cluttering them in Manhattan alone.
Now that we are withdrawing our troops from Afganistan, to boost construction jobs, let’s return beauty back to America.

I am 15 years of age and I was just 4 when these attacks happened. As I have gotten older I have learned a lot about the attacks and the rebuilding process and I can say that what’s going on down there is not right. For the past year I have been spreading the word about the real rebuilding at The World Trade Center Site. I strongly believe that Ken Gardner’s (Twin Towers II) plan is the real and respectful plan. I want to look back on the site and see what a great job people have done to get this very well executed plan done. When I have kids I want to tell them that yes they we’re knocked down but I also would tell them that we came back bigger, stronger, taller, and safer. Rebuild don’t replace Thank you and God Bless.

If we build something else, the terrorists win. They will know that they can just do whatever they want , but if we rebuild the twin towers, they’ll know that we won’t surrender, and that we will come back better, and stronger. Those people who built the twin towers built their hearts out. They worked for years and we have to show them we appreciate that. The twin towers were a very famous landmark of N.Y. And now tourists won’t know that we had such beautiful twin towers.

I was a child when those horrific events occurred. A mere child. I watched helplessly on the news that evening, watching what looked like to me, rectangles falling down. I had no idea they would have such an impact on me. Today, as an average high schooler, I realize what the towers stood for. Freedom. America. I’m studying to become an architect, and move my business to NYC, my dream city. Don’t let me down. Don’t let this government take over. No matter how long it takes, we need those symbolic towers back in our lives. As a lover of skyscrapers, I would do anything to have been, if only for a second, at the top of one of those towers. They were amazing. America, step up. We need them back.
I miss the old structure. I was 6 when 9/11 happened and had only seen the twin towers in pictures and videos. As I got older I realized how much of a great memory they brought when I saw the New York skyline with the twin towers in it. Someday I want to climb to the top and show my kids or even grandchildren what I had thought of doing my whole life. Please, even if it takes 40 years, let’s make it happen.

This nation has apperently forgotten the horror of 9-11-2001 and seven days ago most of my classmates said “Why does it matter? We weren’t part of it so we shouldn’t even have to deal with it.” Now I don’t know anyone from it and I don’t live anywhere near NY but what they don’t realize is we are all part of it no matter where we live or who we know! This is AMERICA and we stand UNITED! We are ALL brothers and sisters! It might not be 9-11 today but since then I’ve been treating everyday as my last and remembering those who have died for us all. And remembering those from 9-11-2001. This is our nation. We should all be thankfull for what we have.

Rebuilding the twin towers would be the best thing to do by far. It would represent those Americans that still have common sense. It would also help a great deal in restoring America’s image as the greatest country on earth. I would love to see the World Trade Center rebuilt exactly as it was and maybe one story taller. And I think most patriotic Americans would agree.

I thought I was the only one who wanted the towers to stand tall in New York again. It saddens me that our elected officials don’t have the courage to do what is right, and that’s to listen to most Americans, and build those towers back. Build them bigger and stronger than before. I believe the terrorists have psychologically defeated America. They can always say “look what we did to that country we knocked down those towers and America was too afraid to put them back up.” I pray that this plan to rebuild those towers bigger, better, stronger becomes a reality. If we do rebuild them like we should, not only would it show them that we will always stand together, it would also show the world that we are not afraid. We are the United States of America.

Continued……in new York you are telling the American people and families of the 3000 people that lost their life in the towers that they died for nothing. But if you do rebuild the world trade center twin towers it would be the ultimate tribute to the people who have lost their lives on that fateful day of 9/11/01 the worst day in American history of modern times…..terrorism can not win in America at all costs.
P.s. Osama bin laden may be dead since may 1, 2011 but in my book shooting that terrorist piece of trash was to easy. They should have brought him back to America to stand trial for what he did on 9/11/01 so the American people can look him in his eyes and give him their true opinions and what they feel.

I was only one when the towers came down and I would LOVE to see them in person and inside them. As I saw the portrait in our living room I learned about them.As I grew up I fell IN LOVE with them. And it’s really sad knowing they’re gone. When people come to NYC that’s the biggest welcome that was there especially on New Years Eve. Please put the twin towers back! New York will never be the same again without them !!!!!!!!!!! The twin towers made up the NYC skyline. People from all over the world come to NYC and will never know we had such beautiful towers. Think about it. Let’s all honor the 9/11 victims by rebuilding what the ament has taken away. The enemy has taken over 2000 lives and we CAN’T surrender. We have to fight for what we all deserve, by having the Twin Towers rebuilt!

I believe the majestic World Trade Center MUST be re-built. It shall be re-built. The amputated version of NYC with the ugly freedom tower needs to be restored. The freedom tower is ugly and stands out, all buildings in New York are all almost the same, the freedom tower is made of glass it’s ugly that way. The World Trade Center was not just a place of finances and money, but it was everything, an attraction, a home, a record. We ALL deserve to see the WORLD from THEIR point of view. There is no one that does not deserve it or not want to see it. Everyone wants the World Trade Center back. That is why I am signing this.

The Twin Towers are not only the buildings that make New York what it is, rather they are the symbol of hope, strength, and freedom throughout the world. These towers shows the world that we cannot be defeated. With these towers rebuilt, we strike a message all over the world that you can attack us with your cold-blooded hearts, but our spirit will revive all that was lost by your hands. R.I.P all those who have perished from 9/11, may God bless your families, and GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME!!!
