New Proposed Design for the WTC

I like the new design. Looks futuristic, but i do agree it might not blend well with the rest of the buildings. Oh well, people would get used to it.

About the whole build the building or build a memorial instead, why not just have the new building be named WTC Memorial Building. Alright, that was a crappy name but still, maybe something along that line. Then have a statue outside of the old WTC towers with a nice gold tribute sign by it. Meh, that\'s what i think.

Tell me, did you lose people in the attacks?  No, you didn\'t.  I can tell by how you are treating it.  Don\'t assume such things.

And by the way, your assumptions, from what I\'ve seen, are not correct.

And I\'m almost sure a design like that will never be implemented

Building another structure would just instigate another attack. It\'s like "Haha! Look we just built another one!", and terrorists will just hit it again, maybe not with a plane but I\'m sure they\'ll figure a way to knock it down. There is no such thing as an invincible building. What it is is a giant bulls-eye and it will put people in danger again.

Ryu, I see where you coming from with Europe, however keep in mind... Europe has thousands upon thousands of memorials everywhere, from small villages, to the main squares in cities. Keep in mind we went through a much different situation. Medieval warfare/Holocaust and one sudden attack on one building are different. I hope you see what I\'m getting to because I\'m getting annoyed at myself for not explaining it better.

But I think rebuilding them would be the stupidest thing to do. And can anyone just guess how much it will cost?

They need 50,000 offices they have to build another.  And how is any other skyscraper different from the WTC.  You could say they\'re all asking to get hit but you just can\'t stop building them.

No they don\'t, build a giant boat, bigger than the titanic, and stretch it across new York Harbor, there\'s your 50k offices.

"And how is any other skyscraper different from the WTC."

Size. Significance.

I\'m not saying "NO MORE BUILDINGS", I\'m basically saying why must we create a ridiculously sized skyscraper? 50,000 offices you say? Build a boat. The office boat. Hell, call it the World Trade Boat, and on Fridays office workers can wear hawaiin shirts and the boat can take a swing by the Florida Keys. I\'d work there.

I think it\'s impossible to have an educated conversation concerning these towers.  I really think we should get back to talking about soccer.

Woo hoo.  GO USA.  I LOVE SOCCER!!!

The tower wasn\'t attacked for its size, it was attacked for what it stood for.  It was a symbol of the US economy.

How many here think al quada want to kill as many americans as possible, no matter who they are?

Well then we need to put one back up for what it stood for, the plan is to make a memorial, and then start building the towers again, it makes sense, mourn the dead respect them with a memorial, most the people that died that day would of wanted to put the towers back up, so in there memory we need to put up a memorial, and put the some type of trade center back up, its called pride, fu*k terrorists.

Why not ask those who worked there and survived what they think should be done?

I do, and why not? they don\'t give a sh!t about us because, they think we don\'t give a sh!t about them, and we impoverish, and kill two million iraqis, yadda yadda yadda!!!

You quoted the wrong thing

Nevermind THAT thought. Sorry, I"m seeing red with this Clowd guy, it\'s amazing. Stupid computer :P

Anyway, Don\'t rebuild the towers, Go Memorial!

See Yuz.

sorry!!!

I love that new design and I can see it fitting in perfectly...I think it should be built and dedicated or in remembrance of the original WTC.

We must move on as dwelling on the subject would do harm...but I do suspect there would be a memorial, or something as to show respect, implemented into the building.
