  • now if I were the architect I would've designed the complex to have 2 freedom towers each behind one of the fountains of the original towers!!!

  • @IndyB25 I honestly like the new WTC better. The Twin Towers are just as beautiful as the new WTC.

  • In my opinion looks good, Freedom Tower is spectacular. WTC 2 and 3 also will.

    It have to looks spectacular for muslim terrorists to understand they are less than dogs shit.

  • Ugly! The "Twin Towers" as they were nicknamed, were gracious, majestic buildings. They may have looked ugly but they weren't! If anything build TWO freedom towers!

  • Comment removed

  • Build  twin freedom towers

  • @AgentKaitou8444 Won't happen, their foundations are already built to street level and once tenants are secured, the buildings will rise.

  • and i'm talking about wider not taller.

  • Now why couldn't they make the freedom tower bigger instead of smaller?

  • @username7046 It's the same roof height as the twin towers, but the spire makes it the tallest building in the western hemisphere.

  • Comment removed

  • They could technically build a second freedom tower on the space where the Deutsche Bank building used to stand... It would be a big gap between the two, but they would be aligned diagonally.

  • @alucard1931 WTC 5 is going there. That building has not really had a design picked for it yet but it's supposed to be shorter than WTC4

  • @Scott89878 Wasn't WTC 5 scrapped? I remember the building design had this diagonal bulge coming out the midway that was criticized as looking like a gut or beer belly.

  • @alucard1931 My understanding from the skyscraperpage forums is that there will eventually be a building put there. 

  • The Twin Towers were not good architecture, and the only people who really miss them are usually hyper-patriots or people who have never visited a city and have no idea what this horrible skyscraper architecture did to the city skyline and the streets below (see the Twin Towers Alliance Facebook group). You guys need to move past your feelings and understand that the WTC was not nearly as amazing you guys like to imagine it is, and that we are getting something much better now.

  • I really miss the twin towers in the skyline, I went to New York City a few months ago and it just didn't feel right without them towering over the skyline! With that said, I went to the memorial site/freedom tower and I disagree with people saying we would show countries that we get right back up after getting pushed down. The new Freedom tower is amazing in person, and why risk another attack if we rebuilt the two towers? Let the poor people that died in those attacks rest where they fell.

  • @Ahoyaustin Did you ever think that the Twin Towers could be rebuilt much safer and stronger than the original ones! At least put up Twin Freedom Towers to commemorate the site! WTC didn't have 4 towers, it only had 2! And it's a waste of money trying to get them other 3 towers up!

  • music reminds me of hannibal lechter or a generic serial killer about to eat me for dinner. yikes!

  • the old ones are way better

  • they should keep the memorial and freedom tower but build twins over the fountain.

  • Okay why is there an x on one of the new world trade center buildings

  • @manchesterunited170 Its the steel construction. New design to withhold more pressure.

  • This song reminds me of Bad Santa. I feel like watching it now...

  • next attack might be from mother nature " TSUNAMI"

  • @99knight not likly in the east coast maybe in the west

  • on the drawing they dnt look bgger then the older ones

  • I'm not from NYC, I'm from Michigan and I really wish they would rebuild the Twins. Not just for the aesthetics but because it will show the world that we can get knocked down but we will get back up and be better and stronger. Not rebuilding the Twins just shows to the world that we are cowards and have let the terrorists win by altering our skyline. That is what this new complex show, our fear. BTW does anyone else think that the waterfall memorials are bit morbid?

  • @WeatherMondacicci how the hell does building new building show fear?

  • @WeatherMondacicci I dont think it shows fear, it shows we dont want more lives to go at the risk of our skyline.

    You tell me which is more important.

  • @amartinez97 That doesn't make sense because we're still building another skycraper. Also, our national defense is much significantly stronger now than pre-9/11.

  • @WeatherMondacicci WHAT'S MORBID!?.

  • @WeatherMondacicci i AGREE!!

  • It looks a bit like Hong Kong.

    Is that intentional?

  • bad santa music

  • U should upload the same video except it's from Skyview

  • @Hotters70603XL I HEARD THEY ARE REBUILDING THE TWIN TOWERS IN HARLEM AREA!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB Really?????? How'd u find out????

  • @IWZWrestling INN HARLEM AREA!. THROUGH THE MIB!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB Thats sick!!! Where'd you hear this from??

  • @IWZWrestling I WORK AT THE MIB!. HENCE!. MY YOUTUBE NAME TLJAWSIMIB: TOMMY LEE JONES AND WILL SMITH IN MEN IN BLACK. THAT'S WHAT TLJAWSIMIB STANDS FOR!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB lol i was wondering what it stood for

  • @Zeyn97 THAT'S RIGHT!. AND, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, NOW YOU KNOW, NIGGER!. HUH!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB OK THEN LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOO­OOLLOLLLLLLOPLOKJKTYJUHYGFUC

  • @Zeyn97 WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!?. SERIOUSLY!!!!!. SPEAK SOME PROPER ASS ENGLISH LANGUAGE!. SERIOUSLY!!!!!.

  • New one looks like shit.

  • they should made another twin towers much "Stronger & Taller" NOT THIS!!!

  • @Hotters70603XL Who cares what you think of it? The new complex is already under construction anyway, the One World Trade Center just needs 20 more floors plus a spire to reach 1776 feet.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven Honestly if the Twin Towers were to be rebuilt, it would be much safer and stronger than the originals! It wouldn't be built the same as it was 30 years ago! The WTC site is only meant for 2 towers not 4! It's understandable to have Twin Freedom towers to pay tribute to the original towers that once graced the NYC skyline! But what they are doing there now is way off!

  • @Hotters70603XL You may think so, but no. To be honest, the old towers were built like shit, that's why they collapsed. In what way were they better than the new WTC site? Just because they were Twins?

  • @Hotters70603XL Well, that "piece of junk" is a lot safer than the old Twins. It's not even called the Freedom Tower, it's called One World Trade Center.

  • It's ironic how so many people want the Twin Towers back, considering the majority of New Yorkers hated them... I miss them too, though.

    At least there's Tower 1.

  • the should get enough financial resources until they have enough so they can build the old twin towers next to the freedom tower instead of build wtc2 and wtc3. Imagine the skyline then. That will show how strong new york is. The twin towers is a sign for new york <3

  • Im dizzy >.<

  • Also, if you look at the middle fountain pen shaped building with the X, reading from bottom to top and top to bottom. You read 911 in roman numerals. The four post building also has X's and I's on it. Interesting design.

  • The new buildings have much symbolism in them. However, it appears to me that the X's represent the roman numeral 10 and the buildings themselves and other lines in the design represent 1. The roman numeral symbol for 9 is IX. The roman numeral symbol for 11 is XI. There is a huge X on top of the middle building. If you read the buildings in order beginning with the new One World Trade Center, a IX is formed with the X building and then an XI is formed with the following building.

  • @answertheknock2 They removed the crossbeams from the design, so no more X's. I love your reading of it though.

  • the must of been smoking something to wanna design that freedom towers

  • Oh and actually you filmed this in Sep 8, 2010 which was back then 9 years later

  • They should rebuild the original WTC and put a sign on the back saying "WERE BACK "!

  • @Mr1233556 LIKE SORT OF THAT THE POLTERGEIST GIRL: CAROL ANNE!.

  • My Dad Use To Work There!

  • Why is there a big X in the middle building??? is that like a target for the next Plane

  • in my opinion new york will never be the same after most people voted the twin towers back politics had to come and set plans for a new design when the tower is complete it will be the darkest day in america i bet in a few years many people will have regrets trust me. for me i think the world trade center complex is tainted so if any of you love the design you will have regrets god bless

  • @azar783402 If you didn't care about what I had to say, you wouldn't have commented me in the first place. And you're right, it is none of your business. So, that's that.

  • @azar783402 I said okay?, LOL. It doesn't matter to me what you do, honestly.

  • @azar783402 Ooookay then.

  • The only problem i see with these towers is that they don't match the rest of the New York skyline. :/ They look good though

  • @godzillagodzilla28 - If everything matched, then we would have a soviet commie block hellscape. This is America, and America loves variety. These new buildings will inject fresh positive energy into New York City.

  • @CmdrGendoIkari now now stop that its your foreign policies that got your world trade centres destroyed in the first place.

  • its sad when you see them fade away. It feels like you just wanna believe there not gone and when they are, you get sad. :(

  • pause it at 0:41 and look at the cross

  • i'm confused. theres a big black block behind the old WTC 2 tower, but its gone in the FT scape. did that go on 9/11 aswell?

  • @BMWM3GTRLOVER THEY DEMOLISH THE DEUTSCH BANK BUILDING BECAUSE OF ASBESTOS.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB ok, don't get that tone with me. I'm not a New Yorker so I wouldn't know.

  • @BMWM3GTRLOVER I AM NOT YELLING AT YOU DUMBFUCK!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB now you are. is your caps lock button broken or something? turn it off, people mistake it for shouting even if your not.

  • @BMWM3GTRLOVER WHATEVER!. HEY!, YOU THINK THE NEW ONES IS BETTER OR NOT!?.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB It was demolished because it was severly damaged by the collapse of WTC 2.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven YEAH!. I KNOW THAT, SERIOUSLY!.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB Well good, don't forget it then. WTC 5 is going to be built there, so the WTC site will be expanded further to the south.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven WELL!. YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED TO ME YET!. DO YOU LIKE THE NEW WTC OR THE OLD WTC BETTER!?.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB Well, you didn't ask me either. Yes, I sort of like the new WTC site, because the new towers don't have this 60's look.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven YOU DON'T LIKE THE 1960s DESIGNS AT ALL!?.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB Usually yes, but that's not what I said. The old towers looked cool because they were twins, and went straight up without setbacks. But I like the new WTC towers over the old ones, because it has much more glass, and looks more modern.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven WELL!. THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. BECAUSE, A LOTS OF PEOPLE WANTED TWIN TOWERS BACK. YOU AGREE WITH THIS OR NOT!?.

  • @TLJAWSIMIB I wish they were still here. But no, rebuilding them would be very stupid. The buildings of today have much higher quality standards than buildings from the sixties. There's no need to rebuild them except for sentimental values.

  • @MaxwellEindhoven WELL, I SORT OF AGREE WITH YOU THERE.

  • @Hotters70603XL

    This most disgusting thing about 9/11, Larry Silverstein and probably the Bush Administration made billions of dollars from the destruction of the WTC. There is no absolute way that those buildings would of collapsed naturally because of a plane hit and fire breaking out on a few floors. Most of the floors remained untouched. A planed smashed into the pentagon (supposedly) and disappeared into a small hole, did the whole side of the pentagon collapse? No, it dont make sense.

  • @GamingPalooza that's the argument of a person who doesn't understand the first thing about architecture or basic phisics. for the wtc to colapse it would only be necessary for one floor to colapse. the next floor would be holding double the weight it's suposed to and it would cause a gigantic amount of strain on the building and making it colapse

  • Those glass things don't fit in with the rest of New York's classic skyline. They look alien compared to the simple, yet elegant design of the old WTC, which fit in quite well with the other buildings surrounding it

  • amazing!

  • Mr Goorney-

    In the description box you put "***The terrorist attack*** on the World Trade Center on the 11th September 2001"

    It's important to note ***Who*** the terrorists were ... George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

    You wouldn't want to mislead people ... would you?

  • They'll blow this one up in 30 yrs as well. When the old ones were there, I thought they should have built more like it. They were Modern, Contemporary, and human. This new pod is an ode to the aliens, not Humans. They should have improved NYC with new modern buildings, not blow up old ones and call it "a terrorist attack". As I said again, they will blow up this new edifice and call it "some new attack" then on an unsuspecting generation. I predict about 2100, maybe 2101. Unreal.

  • @Aliendear You are unreal, indeed.

  • @GregJM24 And you're probably not an American citizen.

  • @Aliendear

    they were constructed it to take a hit from a plane exactly the same and not fall

  • @funnyjunkvmkman the new ones? bullshit. They'll blow these up like the twin towers. They had the explosives planted from the beginning. I now realize maybe the 1993 bombing was an attempt to prove that. In a construction video I have of the world trade center, the middle area where the second plane hit was wrapped in something. Maybe they planted explosives then in whatever year that was. 1970 - 73. They claim it was an asbestos wrap, but now I have second thoughts.

  • @Aliendear

    are you one of those people who say the goverment did it?

    if so, FUCK YOU

  • @funnyjunkvmkman More than that wiseguy. I think Aliens did it, in conjunction with our Government. As each day goes by, it becomes clearer & clearer to me. I have almost all the ins and outs complete. Hope you can run when they come.

  • @Aliendear

    Ailens? you mean terrorists right?

  • @funnyjunkvmkman

    The original Twin Towers were built in 1970 and were also constructed purposely to withstand the possibility of a plane crashing into them. The WTC was designed to withstand the impact of a 707. There's very little difference between the 707 and the 767. In 1988, the Aon Center in LA, a 62 Story building built the same as the towers, caught on fire. The fire lasted much longer and there was no collapse. The old WTC was good enough and it was built strong to begin with.

  • I should better take care of these beautiful towers. Do not be a victim to this conspiracy as well, enough of the old ones likely to have been the victim. Here's my opinion, which may not be realistic as well.

  • I should better take care of these beautiful towers. Do not be a victim to this conspiracy as well, enough of the old ones likely to have been the victim.

  • @Hotters70603XL twin towers,, see let zeppelin stair way to heaven

  • Tower 2 and Tower 3 need to be almost as big as Tower 1, so that its not overshadowing the other buildings.

  • @IWZWrestling I one hundred percent agree. I don't mind the new design but the Tower 2 and 3 need to be similar height, angle and separation as the original towers. Otherwise the skyline just won't look right.

  • @iMaDeMoN2012 Exactly. It's not too late :)

  • old wtc better i think they need to do exactely same :| the twin turns were veeeeryy beautifull new turns is just tehnology and fuuckk.. nop:|

  • nice

  • nittanylions1000 brainless nigga

  • New WTC will be beautifull I think, specialy WTC 2 will be nice and elegant.

    In spring 2012 I hope I will spend my holiday in NYC and see the building progress.

  • these buildings don't resemble anything of the old towers, seriously it looks like a friggin art show instead of the world trade center. keep the freedom tower and 4wtc, and make tower 2 and 3 twin towers

  • i think its awesome that they are rebuilding but what of 9/11 happens all over again that whats scares me more people might die sorry if you don't like the comment but it could happen

  • I'm from England and i must admit i would have preferred to have seen the twin towers rebuilt to get that beautiful skyline back. But a lot of people are missing the fact that people lost sons,daughters,fathers,mothers etc on that terrible day and i don't believe they would like to see the same type of building where their loved ones perished rebuilt. Respect their feelings it would be a constant reminder of an experience i would never wish on anyone

  • They are building it in a different shape so if something like that does happen again, it won't collapse for hours.

  • It looks so shite.

  • how can they make sure that this tower will not be knocked down again

  • I want the old World Trade Center The Twin Towers with new High Technology.

  • 9/11 was a terrible day, but strictly speaking the new WTC site is of better overall design than the old one. The new site has better street connectivity, better massing, better public spaces, better enclosure, etc.

  • The president just said one day ago that we might be having another atack on that same date but i hope not

  • @mrliveformoney I'm only saying what the architects said. They also emphasized that Everyone shared the pain that day. We were all Americans on 9/11.

  • Comment removed

  • @freacls No. The architects made it Very clear that the construction of the Freedom Towers is Not to show others that they can never beat USA. It's being built for the Americans, and the Americans alone. To show that we can overcome something as tragic as September 11th, no matter how much is hurts, with our heads held high, and hope in our hearts.

  • @GreyEarlTea , THE ONLY "TERRORIST IS YOUR OWN FUCKING OVERNMENT , SEARCH BUILDING 7 AND Tim Osman.ON GOOGLE

  • @reym613 I said nothing about Terrorists, so Shut Your Bloody Mouth. Show some fucking respect on this day, just be quiet.

  • @reym613 yes ET in conjunction with bigfoot and the illuminati planned the attacks. 

  • @elysium76 /watch?v=6rw397VbRyM&feature=c­hannel_video_title

  • @GreyEarlTea well I wouldn't say Americans alone.. Many other countries lost citizens there as well

  • @GreyEarlTea not everyone working there is an american. i know.

  • @bombarderoazul Uh, who doesn't know that? It's called the World Trade Center. But a lot of people emphasize that Every Person in New York that day, regardless of where they came from, was an American for that moment. Doesn't matter where you were from, we all felt the same, we all knew it was wrong.

  • @GreyEarlTea if they REALLY wanted to show that they can overcome it, then why don't they rebuild the twin towers?

  • @AdidasGangster They ARE rebuilding the Twin Towers. Just not in the same style. Even if they did rebuild it in the same style, it would NOT be the same. Nothing would be the same. It won't be in the same place, it won't have the same feeling. And rebuilding it to look exactly like its fallen brothers will Not bring back those people.

  • @AdidasGangster They ARE rebuilding the Twin Towers. Just not in the same style. Even if they did rebuild it in the same style, it would NOT be the same. Nothing would be the same. It won't be in the same place, it won't have the same feeling. And rebuilding it to look exactly like its fallen brothers will Not bring back those people.

  • @GreyEarlTea where? I don't see any twin towers, only fuck-ugly buildings, they should rebuild the old towers 'cause that's what America want, and I know that rebuilding the old ones doesn't bring back the people, BUT THIS UGLY DESIGN SURE DOESN'T, EITHER.

  • @AdidasGangster That's what All Americans wan't? That's pretty naive. They've already begun construction, and they're going at a pretty high speed with it.

    For those who don't like it, that's too bad. Just suck it up. If you don't like it, don't go there to see it, simple as that. Because nothing is stopping it. Not until they've reached the 1776th floor.

  • @GreyEarlTea For Americans alone? The largest single leaseholder to date in the new "Freedom Tower" is a Chinese Trade Consortium. Nothing says "freedom" like slave state labor, huh?

    Relax, at least it's 1,776 feet tall (or so they tell us). We're number one! We're number one!

    (vomits copiously)

  • @bronxbearbud Okay. People keep commenting me about the "Americans alone" part, and I didn't mean it like That. I was just trying to emphasize to that person that this isn't being built for more hatred. The attack on the WTC was meant to crumble America, but obviously this is being built for a more World-like trademark.

  • @GreyEarlTea Granted, I'm a NYC taxpayer so it's MY tax money that's gonna support and maintain that black trench urinal for years to come. MY subway fare will go up. MY bus fare will go up. MY bridge tolls will go up. I dunno, if these people who "feel proud" when they visit this thing actually had to pay to build and maintain it, they wouldn't think it's such a swell bowl of cherries too....

  • @bronxbearbud Ah, that's a little far from the topic that you commented me on. I'm guessing you don't want this built altogether. I understand the tax problem, but I think they'd feel very proud once the building is completed, knowing that they've pitched in to rebuild something that was wrongfully taken.

  • @GreyEarlTea Well, I pass through the area several times a week and find myself revolted by the circus-like atmosphere down there. Frankly, it embarasses me and causes me to disdain the kind of repugnant pride and entitlement that probably led people to bomb the place to begin with.

  • @bronxbearbud Well, that's how You feel. Sorry, but I don't think there's anything that can be done now. They're probably half way done with construction. I'm not sure what you mean by "Circus-like atmosphere," but when I think of a Circus, I think of joy and entertainment. Those people working on these towers shouldn't feel sadness or indifference. Let them feel happy. This is something good. I wish I could see them. If you don't like it, I guess you'll just have to ignore.

  • @bronxbearbud "Circus-like atmosphere" - a family in their best Christmas sweaters and antlers on their children's heads asking me to take next year's Christmas card photo in front of ruins in December, 2001. The angry souvenir buyer threatening to turn the African vendor "over to the INS" for not taking a few bucks off the price of a "Crying Eagle" teeshirt. The "family only" memorial room (whatever happened to equal accommodation under the law), etc. etc.

  • i don't think they should of rebuild at all, first of all it's a grave site, secondly, what is stopping the terrorists from blowing up these ones as well? just because bin laden is dead does not mean they won't stop. even though i do believe it was the usa government that did everything.

  • @xXxSakuraDreamxXx That's giving a victory to the terrorists if they left it vacant. It's a perfect compromise to create both a memorial and a series of towers.

  • the new Tower thats being built is called the freedom towerthats gonna be taller than the WTC and carries a message that noone can beat America i really miss the WTC i was their in the summer of 2000 and fell in love with them

  • rebuild twins too!

  • their only four buildings what so cool about it

  • i want the old World Trade Center The Twin Towers back

  • @MrJuliogonzalez123 Im totally agree, old twin towers was more beautiful.

  • @MrJuliogonzalez123

    When the original world trade center complex was built every architect said it was an abortion. They had RUINED the lower manhanttan skyline (in the 1970's)! The public at the time also agreed in the 1970's. They were plain, uninspired boxes. Now,they built more artistic building that fit with the landscape and people want the old "boxes?." I think the new designs are much better but two of those building are not going to be built because of funding.

  • @MrJuliogonzalez123- Me too. I don't understand why they wouldn't rebuild the Twin Towers to look like the original towers. It would be like a symbol of Al Qaeda's inability to keep America down, you know? But now it looks like the fucking Fortress of Solitude.

  • @MrJuliogonzalez123 yea that wold be cool. but its to late now, there almost done with the freedom tower

  • they could knock down the freedom tower and rebuild the old world trade center it could happen you know

  • @MrJuliogonzalez123 i do too

  • i don't want that pace of shit

  • i want the old one back

    

  • It's been 10 years and it's not even close to completed. What message does it send when you can't get a building built in 10 years? In the same time, the Middle East has built the world's two tallest buildings, and for less than half the cost. Come on America, you'e letting the team down.

  • @gooble69 Just remember how long it took to clean up what was left of the original buildings - that in itself was a monumental task....and then there was the decision to rebuild, choosing the architect & design, etc.

  • this is were the future starts

  • ATTENTION: Next week, the WTC memorial will open its doors on September 11, 2011 Sunday
