damn, WTC won't be re-built as it was "before"

I guess they are scared, no more skyscrapers.

Americans said they are "not feared by terroist", but doesn't WTC represent the economic power of US?

hehe you see that pic?

 

They should just build a nice park there. I would not want to work in any building that replaces the WTC.

They should rebuild it bigger and better than before! It's nearly 30 years later. We have the technology!

Indeed.

 

[Electric Amish]

Especially since we're in the process of eradicating terrorism.

It's not a question of if we can, it's a question of why the hell would we want to. A study on the WTC found that a worker in the WTC over his career would have spent 3years in the elevators. America ended it's facination with being the tallest building in the world with the sears tower, we found what everyone else found out. Big building suck, it takse to long to get up high, it takes to long to get back down and the facilities needed to handle that many people make them mini-cities.

For the cost of the twintowers we could build 5+ buildings that would hold more office space. And really, it's way to early to say if they even will rebuild or how big.

I agree with ravhin. Why we need it?
Also, we need a better fire exit plan if disaster strike again (*knock on wood*)...

 

[CplHicks]

OK, here's my idea of what to build on the site of the WTC:

Where tower one was: a 110 story flag pole with a giant US Flag on top.
Where tower two was: a giant middle finger pointing towards Kabul, Afghanistan

 

[HowardStern]

It's right above a subway station, and definately prime real estate which shouldn't be wasted on a memorial (the memorial can be in the lobby of the new building complex). Or rebuild and equip with anti-aircraft guns

I totally agree on you. It should be something to remember the victims.

That land carries perhaps the highest value per square foot on the entire planet. American entrepreneurism will kick in and a new building complex will be built.

 

[Electric Amish]

Where else in NYC are they going to put 220 stories of office space??

You can't bulid horizontally, there's not enough space. You have to go up.

amish

 

[Viper GTS]

As much as I normally disagree with HowardStern & his ignorance, I have to agree with part of what he said.

That property is MUCH too valuable, & unless the owner is compensated 100% should NOT be used solely for a memorial.

[bandXtrb]

would YOU feel safe working in a 110 story building after this?

I think we need to build two taller towers that will be considered the tallest in the world - even taller than the Petronas. And they should be built with the strength of the Sears Tower - or possibly even stronger. They should also have a special coating to protect the steel from any possible 'hot' fires - which was already said it could be done.

That would be interesting. Have an awesome building built incredibly strong, and armed.

But really, what's the point? Just have something simple. But then again like some pointed out, the value behind it will drive people to build.

they should level the whole thing. bury bin Laden right in the middle, and then build the biggest friggin' skyscraper imaginable right over his grave. every floor should have a Mcdonald's, toysR'us, target, gap, and one of those cell-phone-huts you see in the mall. just to piss them all off.

yep, make them the tallest buildings in the world, and put anti-aircraft defense on top with a few soldiers and radar equipment.

The WTC complex was HUGE, there is plenty of room to rebuild all the office space with multiple smaller buildings. The real estate is valuable, $$ talk, the complex will be the cheapest most efficient possible unless the government builds it.

Well, they could take the space that housed both towers, make a much larger square structure with 50-60 stories, that would be close to the square footage. Make the rooftop a memorial inclosed in some type of glass dome
