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 twin towers were iconic buildings. I want to see Two World Trade Center built to twin One World Trade Center. Bring the twin towers back to Manhattan.
Work in Chelsea. 14th st station. not seeing the twin towers makes me sad every day. disgusting we havent rebuilt them. the freedom tower looks like garbage.
Norman Mailer wrote, I paraphrase here: “…there was nothing like the Manhattan skyline…with its two bucked teeth jutting out so distinctively.”
It seemed natural that the powers that be would rebuild our Twin Towers…and not erect a sterile, generic monolith sans “character”. We have been let down.
One of the reasons I decided to attend graduate school here and why I will stay here is because I want to see the twin towers rebuilt and I have hope that they CAN be rebuilt and that they WILL be rebuilt in my lifetime.
I want them back now! :(
We need the Twin Towers back! Rebuild a symbol!
Born and growing up in New York as a child I’ve always admired the Twin Towers. Being 12 years old at the time and walking by the World Trade Center I told my mother ”WOW!!! Those two buildings are beautiful and so tall” My mother was like ”Yeah but so is the Empire State Building” And I responded ”Yeah I know but these 2 twin buildings are amazing”… Never in my wildest dreams would I would ever thought that the Twin Towers were gonna be struck down. I used to go to school only 2 blocks away from the Twin Towers so looking at these 2 amazing buildings became a habit for me and even I was distanced away from them. I was and am one of those New Yorkers that agreed that the Twin Towers should be rebuilt again stronger and
Freedom Tower is so ugly it looks like a Hotel not a Tower!
The Twin Towers were the very heart of New York City and nothing will ever replace what was lost on 9/11! The new Freedom Tower that is being built at ground zero is an insult to the people who lost families, friends, or loved ones on 9/11! What is happening at ground zero is a rank abuse! The port authority doesn’t own anything at ground zero! The people are the ones to decide what they want built at the World Trade Center site!
Rebuild them, New York isnt the same with just the Empire State building =/
Thats like blowing up the Sears Tower in Chicago and leaving you to live with just the John Hancock building!
Please. We need the twin towers back rather then the new ones in progress. I believe that only the twin towers are the right buildings for ground zero and New York. They shouldn’t be replaced I’m sure those that died in the attack feel the same way.
Twin Towers II is beautiful and it’s the right thing to do! Rebuild! Why not?!? The Freedom Tower is disgusting down to the last detail and we all hate it! I can’t believe we have to pay for it through taxes. I would happily pay for TWIN TOWERS II! Rebuild, don’t replace.
I HATE THE FREEDOM TOWER. The one thing I have to say about the WTC Site now:
I don’t want to see the hole in the ground, nor the skeleton in the sky.
The Twin Towers (WTC) have to be rebuilt because they represent NY. New York will never be the same without the Twin Towers. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!! The majority wants the Twin Towers back, stronger, taller & safer!!!
Not being able to look downtown and see the stable anchor of the World Trade Center Towers leaves me with a sense of loss and sadness on a daily basis.
Bring the towers back! The Freedom Tower project is a disaster- scrap it and do what makes sense. Twin Towers are an American Icon!!
Returning to NYC after 9/11 was … incredible. Enough to leave anyone speechless. Never before or since have I heard Manhattan silent. Rebuilding the towers is the only option that should be considered. The New York skyline will be a source of pain for anyone who was there regardless of what is built, the most important consideration is that America stand back up – tall and strong.
Definately rebuild them. Plus one story! We will show then how we stand united! Loud and proud!
Rebuild!!! New York will never be the same without the twin towers! We can’t let bin laden win!
the freedom towers have been delayed to 2014!
What are we waiting for? Lets get these buildings back where they belong! cant wait to here more and hope to see the booklet posted up soon as well as a report to the nation!
