trump talks about building a taller TTowers replacement, red flag to the bull? POLL

[rbhawcroft]

All along he has agreed with the consensus that the structure should be smaller. But almost a year on from the attacks he?s starting to change his mind.
?You know it?s very, very hard for a 50-storey building to rival a 100-storey building. I?m starting to think, if they don?t do it taller, it?s really a defeat . . .?
?We should do something that?s going to be better than the World Trade Centre. And in my opinion, you can?t do better unless you go taller.?

red flag to the bull?

 

[Pheran]

Well, I must admit I can't figure out what the heck your poll choices are, but I've got to agree with Trump on this one. Replacing the WTC with shorter building is lame. They should at least replace them with buildings of the original height, or maybe even a little taller. I've been on top the WTC twice, and the view is absolutely incredible. It sure would be nice to have back. To me, it does feel like they won if we replace them with some kind of WTC "wannabe".

 

[rbhawcroft]

sorry its a bit eliptical but I wanted to keep the joke running.

if they build a bigger building then its like, you didnt beat us, so they have a go again, even though alqaida is badly weakened. equally you could say alqaida destroying the TT symbololically was like a red flag to the american bulls.

 

[Amused]

Not replacing the towers, or not building something even more impressive is just a sign of defeat.

Why should we allow the terrorists you sympathize with to dictate our style of buildings?

Is there anything you think we HAVEN'T asked for?

 

[Czar]

this shouldnt realy have to be related someone winning or loosing, it should just be about what to do with the space.

If there would have been just an old building there that was demolished, what does NY city need to have built in that space?

2 buildings taller than the original.

i dont sympathise with them at all, i feel sorry for the situtaion they have to live in in their home coutries, and i try and analyse their actions, but I dont want them to kill me, thats for sure, equally I dont support many uk and US policies in the region.

i had a look at the designs, financially i thought they should try and increase the available office space, or not reduce it, and also try and incorporate a green area/ memorial garden or walk that would be quite nice. I quite liked two of the designs, but trump wants sth bigger.

anyway really i dont think alqaida would be that bothered if you built fifty new WTC's, they would just assess it normally as a potential target.

Donald Trump seems like a pretty neat guy. I think we'd hit it off really well. I've found my new best friend! Anyone have his number?

One Giant Building that would take up the entire property, and span higher than any other building on earth. One so strong, that 747s wouldnt even damage the glass. That would be a great site.

[gotsmack]

I think they should take up the entire area and build a pentagon type building, it doesn't have to be the tallest, just the most area.

 

[BigJohnKC]

I don't get why people think that if we build a bigger building that it will for sure be a target for terrorists. With Americans' penchant for overdoing everything, whatever building that goes up there will never come down, even if they have to have fighter jets circling it at all times. I agree with Trump, all 6 of the designs unveiled earlier sucked. They were just boring.

I thought that was the British

 

[max105]

I would rather have them build something taller too. Kind of like a way of saying "screw you guys, we're coming back even stronger now."

 

[HardcoreRobot]

Bigger and better - its the american way!

 

[GSOYF]

but no one will want to work on the top floors of the buildings....what good is having large buildings with nobody in them??

It was. The titanic didnt have fighter cover 24/7.

 

What if we put the guns the carriers have on the top floors to shoot down stuff. That would make me feel safe.

I say we don't need to wait for them to come attack it again. It should have guns and it should be able to move so it can go around the world shooting the Osama fanclub

The problem is that the bullets don't just go away after you shoot them. The come back down... on people.

From what I understand, the original WTC towers weren't that economical. I remember reading something about them not needing that kind of space? That's probably why they're not considering building something taller.

Bulid the tallest bulding possible, lease out 3 or 4 of the top floors to the armed forces. Then allow them to place some monster-sized guns up there and shoot down anything that threatens them.
