As soon as your new signature is confirmed via e-mail, the old one will be deleted. Note that you will have to retype your comment, if you left one.

Please Note: This petition is meant to provide a forum for this subject alone. It is a petition, not a bulletin board. We will not sanitize controversial remarks if the comments are primarily in support of the petition's purpose. But off-topic remarks are subject to removal on a case-by-case basis to keep the focus where it belongs. Thank you. Important Mention: Those who read back over the comments will find that from time to time we have highlighted excerpts to help those who only have time to skim a page get a sense of what people are thinking and feeling. We rarely do that now and it was never a methodical effort, but just a window on public opinion regarding this monumentally important issue. The important thing to know is that no comment matters more than any other. Each one is valued and helps make the case that the public was sidelined on something that mattered so much. TTA Note: Occasionally a current signature will disappear. When that happens it is because someone who has already signed the petition signs a second time and when the second signature is validated the two are automatically merged and appear in the original chronology. If someone leaves a second signature and comment, it automatically overwrites the earlier placement when the validation link is activated. If it isn't activated, or it is made using a different email address, there will be duplicate signatures. When we recognize that someone has signed before, we will delete the earlier entry and, if it was verified, verify the new one, since the clear intention is to make the new comment visible. We may decide to manually include the earlier comment at the end of the current message. Regarding anonymous signatures: Taking a stand using one's full name is always preferred, but when a name is withheld, the signature and sentiments are still of value. In every case, we have an email address that corresponds with the entry and is kept private. * Indicates that the signer has not yet activated the validation link, often due to spamblocking software. They are included out of respect for the sincerity of the comments. ![]() |
What’s happening on the site is deplorable. The lies multiply every day. The latest claim is that Zero WTC is taller than the twin towers. Not if you remove Police Commissioner Kelly’s 200 foot tall Pedestal of Fear. And not if you don’t count the HVAC facilities mounted, not in the basement underground, but high up in the building. Not if you don’t count the broadcast spire.

An 8th grader shared this link with me. And since he made such a strong case to support your efforts, I feel compelled to join.
A combined set of Twin Towers and appropriate memorialization truly does make sense.

Build them bigger and stronger!!! God Bless America!
The rebuilding of the Twin Towers is a moral imperative. The Towers lent an ICONIC status to New York City as the center of commerce, freedom & democracy. A civilized & forward moving society does not cower in the face of challenge but instead rebuilds in a bigger, better & bolder fashion. That would be the greatest tribute and honor to those who died on 9/11, those who built this great city, & a lesson for generations to come. I am New Yorker by birth, a former downtown resident, and still work downtown. Lower Manhattan is one of the most beautiful and historic urban centers in the world and it has a right to maintain that status. Just building nice, pleasant, modern buildings in the place of the Twin Towers will never fill the void. — Christopher London, Editor & Founder, ManhattanSociety.com

Let’s literally “pick ourselves up” and rebuild the TWIN Towers and dedicate it to the memory of all those who lost their lives that day. Showing our resilience in this way is the best defiance against those who seek to destroy us.
I think rebuilding the twin towers will close alot of doors for victims as i am one. rebuilding the towers will not only show strength but closure in the whole incident. seeing the skyline without them is heart breaking and undescribable. i believe these marks need to be rebuilt to exact as they were.
Having visited the Towers pre 9/11, my then fiance and I had the privilege of kissing on the observation elevator to the top of the WTC. Sadly, no one else can do that again. Rebuild the Twins; a few stories higher. This time do the construction so they will not collapse and with proper fireproofing and stair escapes.
I work for Aviation International News in NJ. Before 9/11, our office used to overlook the Twin Towers. I would love to bring back the beautiful view the office once had. They need to be rebuilt!
We are a nation of builders. It’s time to get building.
New York City is, among many other things, the capital of comic books, a distinctly American form of entertainment. In the Eisner-winning graphic novel EX MACHINA, writer Brian K. Vaughan has his hero point out that when the White House was burned down during the War of 1812, it wasn’t replaced with a memorial structure, it was rebuilt as it was before. There can be no better sign of defiance, or statement that the lives and dreams lost on 9/11 will go on, than to return the Twin Towers to NYC.
No American will be without a tear of joy at the sight of our strong buildings rising again, and the short-cited owers could actually make a profit if they incorporate much needed condos, apartments, hotel rooms, retail, entertainment, AND offices into the venue. I would love to live there and would actually pay a premium to do so. *EVEN IF NO PART* of the buidings could be used, the huge void it will fill is well worth the financial cost of LESS THAN 1% of what the Iraq War has cost us already!
I’m only 19 & live in Rahway, NJ. Twin Towers were very beautiful & tall buildings. I didn’t know what happened to the twin towers of 9/11. I lost my favorite buildings. Five years later after 9/11, I know wtc construction had to be rebuilt. The freedom Tower is nasty and must not be built! If FT is built, the terrorists will win their victory. Let’s go with Trump’s idea & show the terrorists are very mean & thousands of people died from twin towers!!!
I stumbled onto this petition quite by accident, but I’m glad that I did. It never occurred to me that one option could be rebuilding WTC either just as it was (though it could never be that, because of those who will never return there) or even better. Upon reading it, I find this to be an excellent idea, because we’re standing up to terrorists for our right to live normal lives once more. I say, “GO FOR IT!!!”
