i say put new versions of the origionals up,

1) they will look better / normal
2) IMO it will be a sign of our strength as a nation

Yes I do..

But back on topic. I think Trump is right and I hope he can get more support. Like someone else said it would show our strength. Knock it down? Well guess what jackass, now you're country is under our control and everything is repaired. Of course this is a typical red state point of view, but even us blue people can appreciate the value in rebuilding the towers.

I can tell you here in the Big Blue, I mean Apple, people want the towers back. Personally, I like the Freedom Tower (aside from the name), I hope it gets built...just not at the WTC site.

freedom tower please.

I hope this doesn't come off to bad, but the original towers were hella ugly, and I doubt anyone would feel comfortable working or shopping there.

Original Towers, hands down. It'll look so odd in the NYC skyline...When I'm on the bridge I want to see what I used to see, not some obtrusively tall point in teh sky.

And the name is so corny.

[Drumroll] [Loud Voice] Freedom Tower!! [/Loud Voice] [/Drumroll]

Two Towers please, then future generations can properly enjoy the Simpsons in New York episode (best one of that season).

"Mountain Dew or Crab Juice"
"Blecch! Ew! Sheesh! I'll take a crab juice"

I wonder how people who lost loved ones on 9/11 would feel about it. I'd think it would be somewhat disturbing or emotionally upsetting to people. I vote not Twin Towers, so the freedom tower I guess, but not that name.

... The Twin Towers were designed to withstand impact with a 737 IIRC. Newer concrete composites and stronger steel composites could easily make it strong enough to withstand impact from another plane. Stronger concrete composites would also prevent the type of metal damage that was caused by burning jet fuel that ultimately did the Towers in. I would definately like to see the original towers back. Or at least teh middle finger.

I dunno... i think it would somehow take away some of the significance of 9/11 -- making it like it never happened.

Rebuild the Twin Towers exactly how they were (updated material/internal design of course), but add a huge Middle Finger up top :D
