What the hell is wrong with you!!!! Even if your just joking that is VERY disrespectful! Show some support for your country! Id like to see you try saying that to any family who lost someone to 9/11. I hope to god they punch you in the fucking face because you deserve it.

I hope its fitted with a "state of the art" snackbar early warning system.

That would be REALY rude if they built it on the mumorial.

[impdog64]

The mumorial. I used to work there when the towers weren't gone.I remember.

[awskwang]

If they built on the ground where the towers used to stand, it would be building a 110-storey building on almost 3000 peoples' graves

I really like the new tower. I walk past it every morning to work. I do miss looking at the new ones every morning....

this tower is taller than either one, although I do agree that it wouldn't have been bad to rebuild them. I think it would have been too big of a challenge for most architects since they'd have a lot of expectations to fill. Or they could have built the exact same towers and modernized them but that would have had its own challenges and criticisms as well. I understand why they would have wanted to start fresh. I think the overall WTC complex design looks good but I can't say until it's finished
