Should we rebuild the Twin Towers?

I know we won't, but I wish we would. I'd like your opinions.

the twin towers should stand on the ny skyline again

Whoever owns the property should build whatever they please.

Do you all get a weird feeling when you're watching old shows or movies, with the Towers in the setting or background.

How things changed that fateful day.

I think it would be cool to see them again.

What are they planning to put there? I just saw the tail end of Geraldo talking about something but missed what it was. I know they changed the name from "Freedom something" to "One World Trade Center" and some people were upset about the name change. I'm assuming it's a memorial. I always thought that on memorials you named them after what was being memorialized so the name change makes sense to me. I'd just call it 'WTC', rather than 'OWTC'.

Should we rebuild them? I don't know -- I wouldn't work in them. If they destroyed them once, they can do it again.

One tower and four other buildings. The tower is 1776 feet but only 75 stories. The rest is all glass. The original footprints where the old towers stood will have waterfalls inside them.

no, i don't think we should. the twin towers were destroyed. if you want to build something new, then build something new, e.g., different.

you also have to consider the reality, if you build the same towers again, that is just a bit creepy. imagine being a tenant in those buildings....

Is it a memorial? What will be in the tower?

I concur ,,, rebuilding it is like flipping a middle finger to terrorists everywhere, and that would be the one way to win the war on terror ... business as usual.

If they put a memorial of any sort there, it's be a bigger bullseye than rebuilding the same thing ... people just really don't understand what terrorism is these days.

I don't think it should be built. I think it should be a park.

Yes.

This week I just bought the third season of 'Barney Miller' on DVD, every episode opens with a shot of the towers.

Whoever owns the property should build whatever they please.

You mean Larry Silverstein ? The guy who bought the twins in 2001, insured them against terrorist attack, mined them with explosives and one month later took them down ? The guy who after collecting his insurance is now building Freedom tower using public money ?

Whey yes he should do what he pleases.

Frankly it doesn't matter what gets built there as long as people like Silverstein continue to get their way.
