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. ![]() |
The original Twin Towers should be rebuilt in beautiful glass and same height as the old ones!
The current one WTC might look good in a different part of NYC but not at ground zero!
The design of the new 2 WTC proposal is an insult to all Americans and needs to be scrapped! Putting a building that looks like boxes falling over next to 1 WTC that looks like a pyramid would be ultimate insult!
I always would have wanted to visit the twin towers.
I am very sad about the new complex, the main looks nice but very boring, its taking more than 20 years to complete, 2 towers can’t even get built, and 6 world trade center is missing.
I want the tower to be rebuilt as whenever I look at pictures, they always show me american power and freedom.
NYC’s skyline is not the same without the majestic twin towers gracing it. We as New Yorkers hope that our elected officials will listen and do the right thing and rebuild the twin towers bigger and stronger than ever and show those who hate our great nation that we will never be defeated because we are NY STRONG!
Rebuild the towers!!
The proposed design for the new Two World Trade Center is a joke and will look awful from anywhere except NJ. However, we should be rational enough to acknowledge that the old design will never be rebuilt – this is good as we should look into the future instead of the past! Nevertheless, a second twin for 1WTC is necessary as so many on this website have made clear already.
I was born in 2004 so by that time the towers were already gone. In school however they still had old pictures of the once glorious skyline, and as a young child I always wondered why they took them away.
I was too young to remember when the towers fell down in 2001. When I learned about what New York used to be with the Twin Towers, I was stunned. Now as a young adult, I kind of wish the towers were still standing as I view them as beautiful landmarks that fulfill the NYC skyline. I just wish the 9/11 attacks never happened cause now I have to live in this new reality which sucks. The current 1WTC sucks as it only covers parts of that gap. It doesn’t feel even feel the same. I believe a solution to that is to build a second twin tower at the 2WTC but who knows. Twin Towers II would have been a perfect solution but it was those corporate sums that wanted their way and didn’t want to listen to the voices. I hope to see these towers in some way someday.
Today is the 17th anniversary of the destruction of the towers and they need to be rebuilt as soon as possible to restore the skyline. They only lasted less than 30 years and the memorial fountains on the footprints of the towers are a waste of land space. Rebuilding the towers as an addition to One World Trade Center will bring jobs and tourism back to lower Manhattan and show that our country can fight back to the terrorists. A steel façade should also be added to One World Trade Center to resemble the classic twin towers. The new towers should still have a memorial in front to commemorate the lives lost in the attacks 17 years ago. Dismantle the memorial pools, rebuild the towers there, and move the victims’ names somewhere else.
Please rebuild them. Because they were My TWINS TOO!! TO Show them that nothing will ever break US or Tear US Apart. That is Right The US!

My heart has never been the same without those beautiful majestic towers. I always felt a sense of connection to them and now that they are gone I feel that New York no longer feels like New York. For those of you too young to remember you’ll never know how truly spectacular these towers were. You can’t replace an icon.
The greatest city in the world, the two most iconic buildings in it and more importantly the people who were affected by 9/11 deserve a true comeback.The only way to truly redefine lower Manhattan or NYC is to rebuild the twin towers or at the very least build a second freedom tower or 2 WTC.
Let’s rebuild the twin towers!
We need to rebuild the twin towers. They’ll have fireproof elevators. It is America’s life. So let’s rebuild the twin towers.
