The Twin Towers Alliance Petition "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." The statement above rings just as true in 2013 as it did in 2006. The thousands of comments that have been left on the petition over the years are just the tip of an iceberg. The question to consider is not will new state-of-the-art Twin Towers be built — which no one knows for sure — but should new Twin Towers be built, on which most of us have always agreed. The finances and politics at the site are in shambles. There is no guarantee that the other two towers will ever be built — giving us not a World Trade Center, but a lasting disgrace. Now, in 2013, the only right course is to establish what it would take to restore the majestic skyline with 21st-century Twin Towers soaring above the Freedom Tower and let the people decide if it is worth it or not — since the public is the primary stakeholder in every sense of the word and few things could matter more to the well-being and direction of our country. If you agree with our efforts and goal, sign the petition. Don't believe the propaganda. It's not true...

I made a research about Twin Towers and 9/11 and I presented it in my class. I’m Italian and that day, not only New York, but all world lost those buildings, a symbol, a symbol of the work of thousands people and a symbol of freedom.
I never visit the WTC, and my dream is I can do it, but I don’t want visit One WTC, but the Twin Towers, rised again from their ashes.
Although I’ve never been to New York and USA I think WTC 1 & 2 were one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen in my life (by photos and videos). Manhattan had such a recognizable skyline. They should have been rebuilt and I hope they will be.
The twin towers where the best in the world. You expect that one tower that is barely taller with less space can ‘replace’ two towers that were twice as big if you put them together. What about those other buildings? They dont even look like towers they are there to try to satisfy you, to get you to forget about the towers. The towers that give you confidence, that give you a reason to take the long way to work so you can take a nice look at the buildings. What I’m trying to say is we need those towers, New York needs that icon, not one tall building and little buildings that just take up space. New York needs TWO buildings that are the tallest in the city or country, strongest in the world, and give tourists another reason to vist New York City.
The freedom tower is not the height to replace the twin towers. Rebuild the Twin Towers.
The twin towers were wonders of the world. I have marvelled at them and researched them to the best of my ability, and it saddens me that they’re not being rebuilt. For New York to have something taken away, and replaced with something as ugly and lonesome as the freedom tower — let alone the fact that there aren’t two! — it’s saddening. I wish I could have seen them in person and for the sake of everyone I wish to one day see them standing tall in the NY skyline yet again.
That Freedom Tower is a dishonor to all that the Twin Towers stood for. It is ugly, and looks unfriendly, like a pin forcefully stabbing itself into the sky. The Twin Towers were a symbol of the Western World, of freedom, liberty, and capitalism. There were two of them, like a natural couple, engaged in a peaceful dance that the whole world came to see. Whenever I think of America I see those Towers, and I see what they were standing for. I don’t think they are being rebuilt because so much that they had come to stand for had been destroyed when those subhumans put into action the raising of Hell itself.
The freedom tower is a disgrace! I had expected that the people in charge of the reconstruction would understand and consider the importance of rebuilding them as they once were. I am a frequent traveler to NY and consider it my second home so to see something part of history being ruined like it has been by these new modern designs is a complete disappointment.
The world wants the national landmarks restored and to see the strength and will-power of America.
When the USA is strong, the world can be too.
It would be very nice to see again the two twin towers, those were a USA symbol, they should be rebuilt again to heal the scar, i think most people want them back.
Хоть я и ребёнок, я буду искренно счастлива, если их восстановят!
[Even if I am a child, I would be sincerely happy if they would be rebuilt!]
I am from The Netherlands living in Malaysia. I would personally love to see the twin towers be built once more. It just has so much sentimental value for New York. Building different towers all together means the terrorists win. Lets rebuild them but taller and stronger to show that we are not afraid of terrorism. Its basically the same thing as killing a kids mom, then replacing the kids mom with a new one. ITS not the same person!! Lets act now to restore the skyline of New York, to not only fill the hole in New York, but also in our hearts.
Hi there, I have to say how beautiful those 2 towers looked, with the aluminium-alloy facades and sleek windows, Yamasaki must of been very proud of his acomplishment, but the twin towers never got the justification they deserved. It is always the same for critics, you never enjoy the beauty until it is gone.
They definitely made a brilliant set of buildings for America and especially New York.
In my heart being an Engineer I would love to see these much loved buildings rebuilt to exactly the same exterior and interior but much stronger. I have never actually been to the Twin Towers but I am deeply saddened that I did not see their beauty. I hope this becomes a reality.
Rest in peace all the people who died in this horrible disaster.
I would love to see these towers being built again.
If you, citizens of New York (I knew this wonderful Town at 1995 and I saw WTC,) and all Americans will see again a new and strongers and secures Twin Towers but with the same design like the Originals (Twins of them! Is the right word!), these rebuilt give you back and all of us, Americans or not, the power of American People, proof that terrorism NEVER win, and YOU ARE NOT AFFRAID of some radicals and psicotic people (may be inside USA, who knows?). The new WTC give back to NY one of the Principal Symbols that define the City Identity, Like Liberty Statue and the most impotant: Its THE BETTER HOMAGE YOU CAN GIVE TO ALL THOSE INOCENT PEOPLE DIED AT 9.11 AND THESE FAMILIES! God Help You Forever!
i will go in New York and will see the Twin Towers
rebuild it NOW
a part of NYC have been destroyed !
REBUILD THE ORGINAL WORLD TRADE CENTER AND TWIN TOWERS
Rebuild the towers! They were a symbol, not just from New York, but also from America itself! I was 5 years old when i saw the towers go down on tv. Still remember that day. Really love them! They’re still in peoples hearts! To rebuild the 2 is the best option for me, not just building one tower!
When I saw a plane hit the twin towers it was a sad moment for me because I knew a lot off people who went to the twin towers before the attack. I would really love them to build the twin towers so who needs the freedom tower when we could build the twin towers back? America with out the twin towers the twin towers standing high up in the sky a better America a better life a better livf for Americans and a better life for everyone so let’s beat those terrorists. Let’s get our buildings back.
They should rebuild the towers, i had visited once pre-9/11 and i would love to go back. Even if they’re not built for another 15 years!
I was 14 (soon turning 15) on 9/11, remember it well. The outcome of the attacks still makes me sad, and I’m also sad because of how Ground Zero has been, is and will be treated. The current plan is just foolish and doesn’t do justice to anyone. To put it simple, the twin towers were and still are irreplaceable, no matter how many out-of-place replacements under the name World Trade Center are built in New York City. Rebuilding the towers would be an honor to everyone and to the city of NY. And yes, I would love to see those towers at least once in my life.
I think this project here is brave and noble, and by signing this I’m proud to be part of it! I’ll support you with the best I can from here.
