World Trade Center Petition
I think this petition is very important. It proposes that we rebuild the WTC. It seems to be gaining ground. Donald Trump was just on Imus (MSNBC) promoting this about two weeks ago. It seems the Freedon Tower is not very popular. Send it to everyone you can!

Adding one more floor would be funny and all but... no. The design of those buildings was flawed. Plus, NY could use a change.
Let Libeskind build his Freedom Tower, he did win an international competition after all. |

No, the construction of those buildings was flawed, not the design. Rebuilding the twin towers would be the greatest tribute imho. Building that freedom tower would be like saying "ok terrorists, you did it, you altered the landscape of our largest and greatest city forever, you prevailed". Why not build the twin towers again, but make it stronger and safer than any building ever built.

But that alteration would still be a change, wouldn't it? Isn't that still the same admission you think you're trying to prevent? Okay, so let's say that the city gives in to your wacko demand and says, 'okay, what do you want?' The answer, according to that petition, is to rebuild the towers, but better. Won't that make them completely different structures, 'admitting defeat' or whatever? I don't have a problem with the 'Freedom Towers' or whatever else the city decides should go on that site. The conclusion easily seemed to be, right away, that something greater and bigger than what was there before should be build, and I don't see how that will admit defeat or whatever. That's horse puckey. You know what else is horse puckey? Petitiononline.com. I'd like to see the stats on how many of the petitions on that site really changed anything.

Nah, the exterior design wouldnt change, but more stairwells would be added, and the building wouldn't be wholly dependant on a core support like the original WTC towers were, which is what led to the collapse when the core support was breached. With today's technology they can make the building able to withstand much more than the originals did.

i think they should build a structure composed of 5 towers, with one taller central tower, in the shape of a hand extending its middle finger. F U, terrorists!

The only "flaw" in the design and construction of the WTC towers is thet they were not conceived to withstand the burning of large, fully-laden transport aircraft within the structure. (How many skyscrapers are?) They withstood the horrific impact; it was the resulting fire that brought them down.
As to the site, a simple, memorial garden should suffice. I think the notion of conducting commerce on ground where over three thousand people died is disgraceful. dcb |

The large Freedom Tower with smaller outlaying buildings was a great idea and deserved to win. You will NEVER get 100% approval on ANYTHING. So just build the design winner. And put a SAM site in N.Y. like they have in Moscow.

i just think the name is foolish. 'freedom' has become a word that bush throws in when the tele prompt go's on the fritz. in his inaugural he said freadom like 37 times.
lets overuse a word to the point where the meaning has no value. its just fan fair to dull the minds of the people and sway them away from the real issues. it makes me want to stab people with a soldering iron..... i havent decided weather im going to turn it on first.
