The Index Original image courtesy of David Noble | www.nobleimages.co.uk Animation courtesy of Fard Muhammad | www.fardmuhammad.com This signature Twin Towers Alliance image was the TTA’s first landing page. The caption is taken from an official public comment card submitted to the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation during its “Listening the the City” outreach in 2002. The full message read: “Just as I want my wife back, people want their towers back. The main difference is the latter is possible, the former, not. Walk around Times Square or the Village and look at how many photos and postcards of the Twin Towers are there for sale. I’ve even seen an NYC 2003 calendar with the WTC pictured. That’s what they want . . . don’t let today’s fears control tomorrow’s dreams.” The links below form a portal into the TTA’s archives with hundreds of pages that will be organized eventually for easier access to key documents and to our perspective on the historic grassroots struggle for new Twin Towers. Homepages Take Action Bulletins The Restoration Alternative As time permits, we plan to organize the content of the many years’ activity into categories, as well as linking to many outside sources of information, commentaries, and images in order to form an aggregate of the pro-rebuilding history. Regardless of broken links, misdirects, and rogue symbols, it is still a very full record of the TTA’s long struggle to challenge and expose the manipulation and abuse of power that took place in the process of rebuilding the World Trade Center.
This is a great video of The Eagles performing the song they wrote in response to 9/11. THE TWIN TOWERS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER There aren’t words to do justice to this wonderfully inspirational Facebook tribute site. It has a strong following and a steady stream of new content. It is uplifting and non-political. The group’s official description is: “A group for those who believe these towers were once one of the greatest symbols (both in architecture and of American spirit) in the world. This group is dedicated to the entire history and life of the World Trade Center complex, both new and old. While the Twin Towers may be gone, their spirit forever lives on in the memory of those who still remember them and what happened to them.” THANK YOUS Thank you to graphic designer Fard Muhammad for all his selfless contributions to this effort over many years — special thanks for the TTA logo, for the original “People Want Their Towers Back” animation, and for the homepage animation of 2000-ft.
