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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Visiting ny next week,its a real shame not to see the towers,the new tower looks an impressive building but how can you build one where there was once two and call it progress,I’m afraid the politicians and powers that be are playing into the terrorists hand by taking a big step backwards by not going ahead and rebuilding these magnificent symbols of the world-a real shame!

hi, i’m from and live in Ireland, i think the twin towers should be rebuilt, i’ve looked at so many photos of New York before and after 9/11 and it looks much better with the twin towers, the freedom tower/one world trade center is ok but its nowhere near as nice or iconic as the twin towers. i really really hope that they rebuild the twin towers. hopefully someday in the future (within the next 10/15/20 years) i’ll be visiting New York and seeing not just the freedom tower/one world trade center at WTC but also the rebuilt twin towers.

Hi, I was only 4 at the time of 9/11 I have seen some videos on 9/11 and saw how amazing the twin towers looked like! I am really disappointed that they aren’t here today because I would of loved to see them! I really want to see them in the New York skyline again! Please rebuild them again but stronger and taller! Lots of people are saying it’s too late but it’s never too late! Please rebuild them!!

Coming from Northern Ireland I grew up with terrorism daily. When there were bombs we just kept getting up, shaking ourselves off and rebuilding. I’ve never been to New York but hope to go February 2013 and am sad to have missed the two defining buildings. You might have the Statue of Liberty but these were the real emblems of liberty throughout the world. Please rebuild them as a shining example of freedom and liberty for America and the rest of the world.
God Bless you all.

Ever since 5/28/02, when the depressing square hole dubbed “Ground Zero” was relieved of the destruction and shattering devastation that our beloved Twins became, 16 acres have taught us that bureaucracy runs America, political correctness forces the will of the few onto the will of the many and the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site has been a complete failure.

I embrace the new WTC, but I have a void in my heart and in my spirit. A void created by terrorism, and reinforced by incompetence. I know Lower Manhattan will NEVER have the Twins again. Yet… I just can’t let the flame of the WORLD TRADE CENTER die. It will burn in us until we get back what was taken! I don’t know how, or where, but that void will be filled once again.

I remember seeing the Towers from Newark Airport in 2000, and being so impressed by them from that viewpoint. I wish I could have visited them but am glad to have seen them from there at least. Even though I do like the new One World Trade Centre, I do wish they could rebuild the Twins as they were.

I first commented back in Dec 2010, now I have just returned to Sydney after spending the 10th anniversary of 9/11 in the Big Apple. I’m sorry, but the new Freedom Tower left me cold and wondering – how much more pride would those fine Iron Workers feel, if they were re-building the Twin Towers instead?. Like I said before, that freedom building is okay, but it does not have ICON potential and could be from any other city on earth. To us here in Sydney, the Twin Towers were not only an icon of New York, they were an icon of the United States of America……and the free world.

TTA Note: Thank you. It would be hard to imagine a more positive testimony. The system will catch duplicate comments when the second one from the same email address is validated, but it moves the new one to the original date — and we want to keep this where it will be seen — so we removed the earlier one manually. It read: “The freedom tower is great… but it could be from ANY city in the world. The Twin Towers were one of the icons of New York City. If terrorists knocked down the Statue of Liberty, would you replace it with a giant Mickey Mouse? of course not. Then why is the freedom tower even a consideration? REBUILD THE TWIN TOWERS and return this missing symbol of NYC to the people of the FREE WORLD.”

I was deeply affected by the atrosities of 9/11. The world will never be the same again for the generations that witnessed this horror. It cannot be undone but in my view, to heal the wounds best possible, we should have a rebuild of the original, beautiful towers. Anything less will be a perpetual reminder of the horrors that went down that day and I prefer to put that behind me. I want to honor the innocent victims but I don’t want such a visible reminder, that the terrorists were “succesful” in their horrible endeavor. Bring back the twins! I don’t mind that it’s in an improved, and safer version, but there should be a set of twin towers at ground zero.

I was 15 years old the on day of the attacks on America and it is a day I will never ever forget to my dying day! Fast forward 10 years later and I finally get to visit the great city of New York, a dream come true for a young Irishman as myself! While there I had the time of my life but every second of every day the world trade centre and the twin towers were on my mind! The day I went to visit the site or crime scene as I refer to it, it was just a chilling experience for me thinking of all the people that perished that day and all the long strangely for some reason I still expected to look up high into the sky and see those beautiful towers but I saw nothing but a poor attempt at salvaging America’s freedom! So please bring back the Twin Towers!

We need to rebuild the twin towers. It’s the only way we can show the terrorists that America has won. It would be cheaper to rebuild the twin towers and would show respect for the 9/11 families, respect to fire fighters and also police officers. I live in Scotland and even I want the twin towers back, everyone does. Lets all do the right thing, It’s not too late to rebuild the twin towers. Scrap towers two and three. I would recommend watching Timothy Mcque on youtube, search rebuild the twin towers and you will find him on web cam video. This man knows what he’s talking about.

I was 9 on 9/11. I keep photos of the Twin Towers in various places, like the cover of my college journal, a giant poster in my bedroom etc, to inspire me to always do and be my best, because, to me, the World Trade Center signified and still signifies greatness, and also how short life can be and how we have to make the most of it. I can only imagine how much more inspiring the Twin Towers would be if they were back with all of us. All Goal, No Fear.
