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 am British and have never been to NYC, but I believe the towers should be rebuilt bigger than before to show the cowards who did this 5years ago that America & her people are not afraid of anything. And stand for what they believe in, the skyline when you see it now, doesn’t look right, it looks all wrong, NY needs her towers back. The terroists can not be allowed to win this! They need showing!

To all those who survived the attack of September 11, 2001, i give all my faith. We shall trust the new ability to rebuilt the WTC. Not to live the pain over again, but to realize that we still need the World Trade Center.

We would honor those who perished by rebuilding to the occupied height (at least) and doing what they did here–live. We are not OKC, we are NYC–the concrete jungle, not the perpetual victim.

1 WTC 71.
I was there on 9/11 at my desk when the first plane hit.
Walking up west side highway I thought “They will probably invite us all back in 20 years for opening day when they’re rebuilt.”It was obvious to me that the Twin Towers would be rebuilt.
I would like the Twin Towers rebuilt. I would work there again.
This design for the WTC site should be built:

The same towers should be rebuilt as tall and proud as they once stood before. They made the NYC skyline.

As a former employee working in the upper floors of WTC 1, and a relative of one of the 9/11 survivors, I strongly feel the City needs to have the towers back as they were. Their beauty far surpasses any of the replacements presently proposed.

The rebuilding process has degenerated into a pathetic mess. Just rebuild the towers already!!

Rose Hemmerich
I firmly believe the Towers should be replaced NOT redesigned. I worked in the Law Dept. when the towers were Austin Tobin’s “dream”. I’d like that dream to become reality once again.

The disgrace of forcing a horrible rebuilding plan with a permanent blight on the city skyline & spirit is increasing the stress we already feel post-9/11.

As the wife of a 9/11 survivor I wish to see the Towers rebuilt as they were. This will greatly ease the void left in my husband’s heart when our precious towers were restored.

My wife was in the towers when the first plane struck and thankfully made it out. We both feel very strongly about the towers being rebuilt, anything less would be a victory for 19 individuals and would basically be a 1700 ft white flag muddying our once beautiful skyline.
please rebuild, although i lost someone very close to me and i know i can never get them back, the towers should be rebuilt the way they were before! time goes on and we must carry on. a new tower with a new design says we have forgotten. but if we go with the old look, it says. we are strong and we carry on, through the ups and downs. we are one nation, for justice and all.
Please Rebuild the towers the way they were to show how strong America is. I also like the plans for the memorial.
Thanks

These towers should have been built by now! Those middle easterners think we’ll never get them built and are laughing - saying it serves the infedels right!
So……Let’s get them up stronger and taller than before - and then ask God’s protection for the people who work within them.
I am trying to see that since the twin towers was a good memorable place that it should be rebuilt
Good evenning to all of you my heart and soul is always with the victims of 9/11 my heart also goes deeply to mrs desiree Bernstein and her husband and the familly,for her brother in law, who lost his life to these islamic terrrorist i pray the lord jesus, and i will continue my mission to protect america my great country and israel the holly land and switzerland and europe, may god bless all of you we must rebuild the twin towers.

May those who died in the attack of Sept.11,2001 to be in god’s glory always and forever. I always remembered and will remember the World Trade Center as the heart of manhattan. It’s sad to remember the times of visting the twin towers, taking pictures and taking tours…I still believe the World Trade Center should be rebuilt again to keep our memories alive, to start new careers, and to feel more power no matter what happened…God bless america! R.I.P for those innocent lives. Love, carolyn
been 2 nyc twice, both after 9/11 2002 & 2005 first time to pay my respects to the victims. second time to see how the regeneration was going !!!!!
LETS HAVE THE TOWERS BACK SOON!!!!
dont let the small minded terrorist win. they only attack what they cannot obtain in their own country - FREEDOM.
hi my name is terri roberts and i would love to see the twin towers rebuilt. thank u
don’t let terrorists tear our country apart
The towers are an integral part of this city. Better that the upper floors go unoccupied than to turn this site into something unfamiliar and alien. The current design is strange, compromised and without the soul and the character of what the towers now stand for.
I am a native of Brooklyn, I now live in Athens Greece, but NY has never left my heart. I believe that the towers should be rebuilt, I agree that doing anything else but that will diminish a legendary city and a breath taking skyline.
I am from Australia and I am of a firm belief that even after all the Losses of human life and hurt that many suffered,the twin towers should be rebuilt bigger and better that before and be named the PEOPLES TOWERS.

As a Volunteer Firefighter I’d like to express my heartfelt sorrow to those that lost loved ones on 9/11. If there is one thing that I cannot stand it is those conspiracy theorists making claims. My heart and prayers go out to you all.
