I don't believe that would be legal, unless the Military was leasing space on the roof or something.

The actual "towers" will be built downward into the earth. The only thing above ground will be a holographic projection.

And whyever not? This is AMERICA! The 2nd Amendment: right to bear arms! Why put up another tower so the extremists can just bring it down? Are people really that stupid or naive? F*** that man, give me a missile defense!!!

 

[CallMeJoe]

I honestly believe this guy does.

Wow. I didn't know they were even building anything there. I thought it was an empty place still. Interesting!

We'll just rename it the "Banc Bank Tower at Freedom Place". This will confuse would be terrorists.

Patriotism got a bad rap, what with the Patriot Act and all.

So you hold a degree in metallurgy now?

 

[Matthiasa]

Well they could use a blast proof coating over the beams, that insulates them.
Some alloys also have much higher points where there strength starts to significantly reduce it's just they are also much more expensive.

Yeah, it's called a traditional building structure.

You live in NYC and you believe that trash?

 

[Fritzo]

It will have lasers so it can have wars with other buildings.
