Lets be jonest about the freedom tower vs. replacing the Twing Towers as they used to look like... if the Port authority had put the towers back as they were, it sounds great on paper and would look good on the skyline, but who would work there? How many New Yorkers would be willing to go to an office in there every day? Not very many...
@Hotters70603XL The twins were also incredibly unstable, their square shape made them wobble in the wind, and they had no concrete core, the reason in which they fell. If they were to rebuild the twins, they would have to be completely redesigned anyway with modern technology so history won't repeat itself.
i was lucky enough to visit the WTC the summer of 2000 and my god i fell in love with the place thise tour is so like the real thing and thanks for the link damn when i left the towers [i may sound daft]i placed a kiss on the walls of both towers whispering to them one day ill be back my twin beauties sadly i never will i so miss the twins
@freacls I got to be on top of the world in May, 2001 when I was really little! I remember it so vividly. This is accurate! Im so glad I got to go, one of the only kids who did in my grade
The sculture at 6:30 is a bit disturbing. Was that really there ? I mean it looks like an abstract of one of the towers falling on the other bringing it down as well. Maybe it is just me. I am gonna go outside for a while.
That sculpture is real. It's the Ideogram, and stood at the bottom of the World Trade Center along with the Cloud Fortress a pyramid like sculpture, and The Sphere. The Sphere is the only sculpture that survived the 9/11 attacks.
What programs do i need for this plz tell me if you could get a link that would be great my dad was there he was getting out of a taxi and I agree with Randy the Freedom Tower can never recapture the epicness of the WTC.
Haha the Freedom Tower is lame. It won't even be strong except in the central core which will be all concrete and steel. The exterior is mostly glass and some steel. I doubt it will be safe. Also no one will be able to climb it or walk between it because Freedom Tower won't have a twin. If someone tries to climb it they will be shot probably. Philip Petit, the highwire artist who walked between the Towers in 1974 made them known and made them an icon. The government doesn't care about anything.
Yamasaki was better off passing before both attacks because 9/11 would have devastated him. I know Lesliee Robertson was the structural engineer but still, Yamasaki created the Twin Towers, his idea, and probably his greatest achievment. Yeah he died in 1986. 7 years before the bombing and 15 years before 9/11.
Yeah The South Tower's Observation Deck was amazing. A nice open platform that overlooked the entire city. Freedom Tower's OD isn't worth seeing. I could get a better view at the Empire State Building. Plus Tower 2 is going to block the entire Brooklyn Bridge view when you're up there. The Twin Towers were equal heiht and didn't block anything. Omg yes the view from the plaza was great. The Towers soared over you and appeared taller than there actual height.
Yea I know Tower2 is a fat piece of shit in the way especially when you look from the East River. The Fredom Tower's observation will be at 1,265 feet. That's a fucking disgrace. Yeah Freedom Tower will not be the best in my eyes. Empire State Building for life.The Twin Towers need to be rebuilt but the PA won' reason and see for themsleves that Freedom Tower is wrong and shouldn't e built
I'm glad you see it from my point of view. Yes they were sacrificed so that the government would wake up and realize terrorism is likely in America. I just can't believe they didn't wake up after the 1993 bombing or after OK City bombing in 1995. I know they thought once Yousef was caught, the Towers would no longer be targets. Still the Freedom Tower and it's upcoming surrounding buildings are a joke. the Twin Towers being there made no need for building other skyscrapers. They dominated NYC.
Yeah the chubby dude in your class does sound pretty la considering he doesn't know how great the Twin Towers were. Well I do and I saw tem everyday. Once they were gone it fucking hurt and I wanted revenge. We need to rebuilt the towers to avenge he victims who died and say "FUCK YOU" to the terrorist cunts who knocked them down.
So basically we have to trade the height of the observation deck with the height of the building. that's why The Twins needed to be rebuilt. So we can have that observation deck on top back. It would also be higher at 1,500 feet. Yes the Trade Towers changed the world andboosted New York. New York didn't need anymore skyscrapers once the Twins came. It was perfect the way it was. Now they're building all over. Yamasaki was a brilllaint architect and I'm just glad he passed so he didn't see 9/11.
Wow I like your dream too. It's just sad that I actually did did this in real life. Those Towers were gigantic and towered over you when you entered the Austin J. Tobin Plaza. Yeah man Top Of The World was amazing. A view I will never forget. I felt like I was in the sky. The indoor deck was great too. The Freedom Tower is a joke. The new observation deck will be 1,265 or 1,266 feet. That's just saying screw you to th victims who died. I know they can't do the outdoor deck cuz of the spire.
It reminds me of Jesus getting crucified because the Towers were sacrificed so America could be safe. Look how much safer and alert the world is to terrorism because of the World Trade Center being destroyed. It's actually sad that no one paid attention to the 1993 bombing and could have stopped 9/11. 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta wanted to strike a Nuclear Power Plant near New York City but cancelled that proposal. So the Towers were sacificed so New York would be saved. It' just depressing.
I'm glad you see it too. They were more than just landmarks. Everyone all over the world knew of the Twin Towers or have been to them. Freedom Tower is a joke as if it actually has a chance to chnge the world again like the Twin Towers did. Yeah 9/11 could have be much worse. The Empire State Building was a target but the Towers were more of a target. I don't know how religious you are or what you believe in but the Twin Towers reminds of how Christ sacrifised himself to forgive our sins.
Wow what a dream. It's sad it was once real and the Twin towers were standing. God I wish they would rise from the ashes. My dream the other night was peaceful and I was walking around the entire complex, even the mall.
Haha yeah money = power. I had a dream about the Towers a few nights ago. It was so strange. They were standing as they were like they never fell. I wish they were still there and didn't collapse on 9/11. Yeah the Towers exceeds money to me. They were more than just a landmark. They were like guardians watching over America and the world. Sounds a bit bizarre but that is what they were to me. The Empire State Building is beautiful as well and I'm grateful we still have that in New York.
Silverstein's new towers up in Midtown called Silver towers were built pretty quick and will open in June 2009. Proof right there anything "owned" by him will get built fast. If I was him, selfishly I would love getting paid $300,000 a day. Who wouldn't? Jesus Christ himself would take the money lol. The Port Authority is slowing things down, they are holding the new complex back.
I don't trust Larry either. He is all talk talk talk. Last January at a conference regarding the site he brought up when Towers 2,3&4 would begin. He's like oh in late February we start building. He really doesn't seem to mind the Port Auhtority paying him $300,000 a day. All he really cares about is his precious 7 World Trade Center. The Port Authority hasn't made it easy for him either as over and over they have made deals to compromise what would go there. The PA is slowing everything down.
I don't bame Larry either but he does have power and he's not using it. He has a lease one the site after Vornado backed out of the bidding back in 2001. This project must get done and Silverstein must push it otherwise the Port Authority will continue to control everything. Also he has gotten paid over $40 million from the Port Authority because everyday since the deadline to turn over Tower 2 the PA has paid him $300,000 a day.
Yeah true. I know it's a tough project but that Freedom Tower should have been soaring by now. The problem was the Port Authority, they have been slowing things down. I can't even blame Silverstein because he built 7 World Trade pretty fast and the PA was assigned to excavate he site of Tower's 2,3,&4. They didn't deliver the land for Tower's 3&4 until January 2008 meaning the deadline was December 2007 or earlier. Tower 2 was supposed to be turned over in June 2008 but that didn't happen.
yeah i just went to Ground Zero yesterday and the Memorial is taking shape on the North Tower footprint. Tower 4's foundation is almost complete and the Freedom Tower has yet to start rising into the sky.
yeah that fuck took such a great landmark. I'm a New Yorker and the skyline has never been the same since. Sure the new complex will be great but it's taking forever.
@randy197235 The freedom Tower isn't being built to "replace" the twins. It is being built to restart the WTC, ground up. You can't just replace an old friend who passed away, you have to meet new people. The freedom tower is our new "person". No, it will never be the same, but if we built the exact same towers again, they still wouldn't be the same. I personally am glad that the freedom tower is going up. You can't bring back the past. It's gone.
I've got an even more accurate wtc model but it's not finished yet, and then i've got some problems on it. but soon there will come a vid with my new WTC model.
