All Other Americans Even now, nine and half years later, it still makes me sick at heart when I look at the skyline of Manhattan and reflect on it - especially when I think of what they want to replace the Twin Towers with. Bring back the Twin Towers in sight as well as spirit!

Citizens of Other Nations It’s got to be the Twin Towers. When I visit New York I really miss them not being there.
Eric Johnson
All Other Americans Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve always wanted to visit New York because of the World Trade Center that once stood at the southern end of downtown Manhattan. Replacing that ground with the Freedom Tower is not only immoral but weak to our nation. We cannot allow the middle east their victory over us. Bring our towers back!
Carl Flusche
All Other Americans What better statement to those that support and perpetuate hatred against our country and way of life than to rebuild what was lost, and to do it more grand, bigger, and more beautiful than before.
Thomas Taylor
All Other Americans I and EVERYONE I know want the Twin Towers back, not the monstrosity that’s currently under construction. By rebuilding the new towers in the originals’ image it would be a symbol of America’s resolve and defiance to those who brought them down and to those who would plan another attack like this…
Andrew Padula
All Other NY & NJ Residents This could possibly be the most patriotic thing for anyone who is an American during this time in history. To rebuild what our enemies think they have taken from us. No other buildings will look the way the Twin Towers did on the Manhattan skyline. The American people can once again have a majestic and beautiful site to see, and the deepest sense of patriotism while gazing upon the Twin Towers II.
David Velez
Citizens of Other Nations New York will never be the same without the Twin Towers. I was 12 yrs old when they went down. I always wanted to visit and stand in top of them but I never got the chance. It should be Rebuilt Better and Stronger so my dream to stand on them can become real. REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS!!! so New York will be New York again!!! NO Freedom Tower!!! it would be a disgrace if it is built!
Jacob Descheneaux
All Other Americans Since the debate began on what to do with the WTC site, I have never been satisfied with the current proposal of the Freedom Tower. Why would we not re-build the twin towers? Give NYC its skyline back. Give America its towering symbols of freedom. God Bless America!
Roberto Karlsson
Citizens of Other Nations I add my name to the list. Cause i knew NY before the tragic events on 9/11. And i would love to see those towers in the sky again. Oboy, what a sight it was!

All Other Americans I’m a born and raised Texan and I’ve always admired the architecture of many of our cities including Manhattan, Chicago, Houston and my own backyard of Dallas.
Before the towers were destroyed I always took pride in the fact that they were so unique and they were ours. The day they fell was surreal cause it really felt like somebody had stolen a piece of America from us. I’ve always supported the idea of rebuilding the steel twins the way they were, if not taller. Please Rebuild them.

All Other Americans It has been over 8 years since that tragic day and we still don’t have anything done besides tower 7. I am all in for the rebuilding of the Twin Towers! Long Live Twin Towers II
Scott Helphrey
All Other Americans Just rebuild the damn towers already, bigger and better. That ought to be the best tribute and show of strength!

9/11 Survivors & Families Only rebuilding a set of twin towers can properly due justice to all of the people affected in any way by the events on the 11th of September and the weeks, months, and years that have followed.

All Other Americans This is by far the best design and best tribute/memorial that could be built. These towers were taken away from us and we need to rebuild them in their likeness. No tribute could be greater.

All Other Americans Its been nearly ten years since that tragic day. I was just twelve at the time and as watched every year go by the more i thought that there would be nothing built at the site. And after years viewing awful looking planed designs i saw this one it was one that i loved the most. And i always had a feeling that this one would be the winner regardless of what others said. Lets all come together like we did on that day and rebuild what was taken from all of us that day, ONE FLOOR AT A TIME.

Citizens of Other Nations I sincerely hope that your plan to rebuilt the twin towers will prevail instead of the lacklustre Freedom tower. Plus, the memorial you’re suggesting is even more significative than the one that is planned. The twin towers provided lower Manhattan with a strong skyline which was lengendary prior to the attacks. I was only 17 years old when the attacks occured but the old WTC is still a strong part of my imaginary. I can’t imagine New York City without them.
GET THEM BACK PLEASE!
Matthew Mastrogiovanni
All Other NY & NJ Residents Why isn’t this done yet? NYC just doesn’t look or feel right without the towers. I don’t want any “Freedom Towers” or any such nonsense either, just rebuild the towers exactly the way they were, straight from the original blueprints.

All Other NY & NJ Residents I’m currently living in Jersey City and every time I look beyond the Hudson River it just looks like something is missing. The Twin Towers always struck my eyes as a child. They would be the first thing I’d notice about NYC before the Empire State Building. I grew up in Essex county and even from the right elevation I was able to see the WTC. I truly miss those buildings. New York hasn’t been the same without them. I remember 9/11 perfectly and I really wish that day never happened.
John Raffa
All Other NY & NJ Residents Rebuilding larger twin towers should be the only option. I wholeheartedly agreed with this idea years ago when Donald Trump advocated it. There are just so many reasons and all have been expressed by many. Just please do it!

All Other NY & NJ Residents Rebuild the Twin Towers *exactly* as they were. They were an iconic part of the NY Skyline and since 9/11 have been immortalized as the most visible symbol of our strength, resilience, and determination overcome everything out adversaries would throw against us. That was how the NY Skyline was, and that is how the NY Skyline should be again.

All Other NY & NJ Residents 10 year anniversary is coming up soon and nothing has been done with the site. Meanwhile, the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, is built within this time span. Enough with the bureaucracy, let’s REBUILD the site.
Arjun Sharma
Metro New Yorkers The current Silverstein plan only seems to accept that the U.S. has failed to defend its confidence and integrity. With a slumping economy and a unforeseen future the best we can do to get ourselves back on a healthy track is to revitalize Lower Manhattan, a.k.a. Financial Capital of the World, and lead the way to a robust America. By rebuilding the Twin Towers, we are showing the world that we are stronger. As current Towers 2, 3, 5 are disputed, we can easily rebuild Twin Towers. Yes We Can!!
Ismael Alcaraz
All Other Americans Osama Bin Laden said it best when he stated that the foundation of all that is American died when the Twin Towers fell. Those towers are a symbol of America. By not building them back, we, as Americans are giving into the terrorist. Building them back taller and stronger only tells them that no matter what they do to us, we will come back stronger than ever…BRING BACK THE TWIN TOWERS!! PLEASE!!! Lets show those terrorist what America is made of!! God Bless AMERICA!!
For those of us who have seen the movie Click, seeing two freedom towers built side by side made me feel pure inside. It felt right, and looked like a good memorial and triumph over 9/11. A true mark of victory is to add another mark of victory. Show the terrorist that they didn’t bring us down, but made us stronger.
The enemy can only win if we lose our defiance against injustice.
Horrible people who did this. Shouldn’t let them (in a way) win, rebuild them and show that we are stronger!
The NYC skyline is just not the same anymore..
It’s a puzzle with 2 pieces yet to be found, them pieces are the Twin Towers.
Lets get them back up there, doing America proud and showing the world that no matter what, we fight back and become bigger and better than ever
Build them stronger and more robust than ever±

It would be more cost effective to rebuild the Twin Towers that complement the current “One World Trade Center” rendering. Silverstein and the Port Authority should consider dumping Towers 2, 3, 5 and build a second “One World Trade Center” adjacent to the current one being built. You can then add smaller buildings surrounding the complex and keep the current memorial design intact. People would be able to view the memorial from a greater distance and appreciate stronger and safer Twin Towers.
The WTC II plan is absolutley amazing! It would send a very clear message to the entire World about America’s resiliency!
what else can i do to help this cause
I remember the towers when they were be built and when they were completed. They were something to behold! How many of you search for them in movies shot in New York before 9/11? What is planned to be put in their place is an insult! Rebuild the Towers!
When you were young, made buildings with Lego or Sandcastles at the beach. Lets take sandcastles, you build two. Then somebody comes along and intentionally knocks them both down. Would you rebuild both or just one? Personally, I would rebuild both! One is like admitting defeat. But two, standing taller, signify power and pride. To summerize the above: Rebuild the Twin Towers!
Freedom Tower, along with the rest of the new WTC Complex is completely meaningless, bearing no memory to those who lost their lives on 9/11/01. I cannot emphasize this next point enough… Stop building that monstrosity that is ‘Freedom Tower’ and bring back the icons of the American Economy - The Twin Towers! A poll conducted by MSNBC found that 92% of Americans would want to see the Twin Towers rise from the ground again. 8% want to destroy New York. Pretty conclusive I would say.
First of all, I’m a citizen of other nation. Anyhow, I just want to support in rebuilding the TWIN towers in the WTC site- better, stronger, & taller! in this way we can remember the memories of the wounded hearts of the thousands of people killed/victims on that terrible day, also this is a bolder message to send terrorists that New York or the USA will NOT be defeated. “We can make things possible if we truly believe we can.” Restore the New York skyline to it’s previous beauty.
I just finished reading the Wikipedia article about what building has been chosen for the main WTC building. I said to myself, “WHAT!?” It just isn’t right to not rebuild the Twin Towers. I remember seeing the Towers from my window all the way in Woodbridge, NJ (about 2 driving hours from NYC) and think, “wow I’m so close to NYC, cool!” It was my beacon, telling me where I was, almost like a compass. It would be a shame to never see that beacon again.
New York City should look forward, but must not allow any outside change to be unnaturally imposed on the spirit of this greatest city of the world.
We need our NY skyline back!!!
PLEASE REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS! DUMP THE FREEDOM TOWER CONCEPT AWAY AND REBUILD, BIGGER, BETTER, BOLDER, AND STRONGER WTC TWIN TOWERS!! A REAL AMERICAN SYMBOL.
We need the towers back! its finally starting to hit home that they are gone, the originals. i miss gazing up in wonder at them or riding the elavators. they have to come back, its not the same without them. they symbolized the democratic free world.
We must rebuild the Twin Towers! New York without the Twin Towers, it seems empty. This skyscrapers, were the greatest in the world. Freedom Tower - a terrible project.
Rebuild the Twin Towers!
I was 16 when the twin towers went down and I will never forget that day because the eleventh of september is also my birthday. I´d like the twin towers would be rebuilt and I think this is the best way to get over from the terrorist attack. From Spain!
