The Twin Towers Alliance Petition The statement below rings as true in 2011 as it did in 2006. The thousands of comments that have been left over the years are just the tip of an iceberg. The question for those who consider adding their names to the petition is not will new state-of-the-art Twin Towers be built, which no one knows, but should new Twin Towers be built, with which most of us have always agreed. We, the undersigned, share the belief that nothing could be more inspiring to our people, or disheartening to our enemies, than Twin Towers, at least as tall as before in every respect, soaring above Ground Zero. We believe that the devastation of September 11, 2001 clouded the picture long after the rubble was cleared away and that a thorough public examination of the rebuilding option is overdue and now required before proceeding on an unalterable course. We recognize no financial or political roadblocks that cannot be overcome if rebuilding the Towers is the will of the people. And, we see no conflict between stunning Twin Towers and a noble Memorial, which belong together on this site that means so much to us all. We submit that there is only one way to truly heal the skyline of Manhattan and the heart of America: Rebuild the Twin Towers. Doing anything less would leave a permanent scar on the face of New York and diminish a legendary city.

i want to see what was and bring NY back
the twin towers didnt have to be back where they were but they should be back somewhere
someone have the decency to build the twin towers bigger and stronger
i pray every day that they will be back and the people that died will be at peace
please god get someone to put them back up
My sister was killed in the North Tower on that terrible day and I believe that the last thing that she and all of the other victims would have wanted is to completely change Manhattan’s skyline, showing the terrorists have succeded in altering us forever. No, they should rebuild the towers and bring back the perfect skyline that was Pre-9/11 NYC. NOT the Freedom Tower!
Why did they have to go down! All those people who risked their lives for all those others. We should care for them!
TTA Note: We agree that our primary responsibility in this country is to properly take care of those who risked their lives. That is what this fight is all about — demanding government that is responsive and responsible, instead of arrogant and dismissive. That is what new Twin Towers would stand for — instead of the middle-finger to the American people our government is building now. We know that the people who are working on it and reporting on it have been badly misled — but when the evidence in “The Swindle At Ground Zero” is released, they’re sure to agree.
As a human all people lost in 9/11 they are my family so I lost Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, son. I wish that I could do any thing for this tragedy I mean any thing also I ready for joining the US army without salary.
We are used to see Manhattan with the beautiful Twin Towers and the other building and I wish to see them again.
My Aunt died on 9/11 because she was in the South tower and to put salt into open wounds, she was pregnant too. So I would of had a nice baby cousin. Building the free-dumb tower is just a giant disgrace to my Aunt and to all the other family members that were lost on that day. Having the Twin Towers back would be greater than ever. It would be the perfect memorial for everyone that was lost. I think that since all of the people have gone this far to get them back, why not just let them have what they want, it’s not hurting anybody except those retarded terrorists.
About three years before 9/11, my family went to New York. The image locked in my head is of the skyline as I saw from the top of the Statue of Liberty, of the iconic buildings draped in a blanket of fog, and the Twins rising into what seemed infinity. Years later, knowing that view would never be the same is too upsetting to think about. The Twins were not just buildings, they were icons tragically taken from us. My family lost a dear friend/family member in the attacks, and he along with the others who were lost, if alive would surely want us to keep carrying on, to remember the past but also keep striving to the future. And in this time, there is no better way to do this then the Twin Towers, built exactly as I and many, and surely the lost, would remember them.”
I have no doubt in my mind, and in my Heart. Those awesome Towers should be built back up, and even a few floors higher this time!
We as americans need to stand together to let everyone know we will not be defeated. The replica of the buildings themselfs would be the memorial where you could visit your relatives or friends that might have died there.
i lost my cousin that fatal day on the 90th floor of the south tower, it would be amazing to see where he stood 10 years ago to be on the 90th floor on that corner office, over looking the waters of the Hudson, it would bean amazing tribute to him and everyone else who died that day.
forever R.I.P. 9/11 victims.
My grandparents and sister died in that horrific day inside the North and South Towers! Rebuild the TTII!!!!! It’s beautiful and breathtaking, somewhat better even than the original Twin Towers. Screw the F Tower, rebuild the TTII!
My aunt was in the twin towers when it come down. She was very cool and Nice also and I miss her very much.
Please…I beg of you…do not dishonor my friends & countrymen and women who unknowinly died for our country on September 11,2001. Born and raised in NYC, I’ve got a whole lot of friends & a whole lot of family who will never, ever recover from this day, please honor them by building a tribute to them at the site of their 3,000 deaths. Fewer died on the USS Arizona….use that as an example of how to show respect.
TTA Note: From time to time we will write to the person who has left a comment if it gets cut off or something about it is unclear, so that once we hear back, we can manually correct it. It was unclear whether this particular comment was for or against new Twin Towers, so we wrote to clarify. This morning we got a one sentence reply in bold, red, 24 pt. letters: YES I AM IN FAVOR OF RE-BUILDING THE TWIN TOWERS!!!
When I see pictures/movies of the Twin Towers – all I want to do is encourge NYC to rebuild them! Let us fix the flaws. Prove we cannot be beaten down. Construct a glorious courtyard w/ a shallow reflecting pool, place hundreds of underwater screens that gently flutter names and photos of all the couragous people lost there. Play soft healing music that whispers the names of the couragous firemen and police officials that rushed to action. Water & Music will Rejuvenate Our Souls!
I have a friend who thinks building a mosque at ground zero is OK. I tried to help at the sceen after the attack. I have sinced moved to florida but I will never forget.
I am a native New Yorker and I served in OIF 2004-2005.
I strongly believe we need to send a clear message to the world that if you knock us down we will get back up again!
We are New York’s finest and we will not go out without a fight!
I would suggest that the towers be taller than before with a memorial on site.
The fact that we lost those gorgeous towers was bad enough, now they want to build some mother freakin’ Freedom Tower. We should build the Twin Towers back, bigger and more durable than the old ones, just to show the terrorists that they can’t keep us down!
We didn’t mess up the Pentagon, we didn’t change it at all, granted it was not completely destroyed, they still did nothing to alter what it was!
Please.

Bring them back, no questions asked. It’s time that New Yorkers got to decide, not politics and companies. The Twin Towers belonged to New York and they still do. It’s the least we can do to honor those who lost their lives. It will be the most fitting tribute to our brothers and sisters who we will always miss terribly. Nothing will ever fill that void but maybe we can restore a sense of hope and home by rebuilding the towers.
My brother told me about this site and I admire what’s going on here. I’ve lived in NYC forever and nobody wants to see that freedom tower up. I just don’t get it, why in the hell is it so hard to put back what was lost? If it was the Empire State or the Statue of Liberty, they wouldn’t be doing this. What is going on? They’ve got a lot done, so I just hope that the struggle is over soon. The terrorists brought down the towers and we can bring down what’s being built now and rebuild what belongs there.
We need those towers back! For my uncle and brother who both died that day in the north and south towers, and my dad who barely made it out of the pentagon! Those beautiful buildings need to be seen by the new generation, and we all need them back!
The Twin Towers were the most magnificent towers! NOTHING LIKE’M
