| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01  | sorry to start another topic but i was wondering what you guys think we should do with the bombing site. should it become a memorial like okla city? i personally think we should rebuild the towers almost exactly. just to say you can knock them down but we will just put them back. to let them know we cannot be stopped.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I'd rebuild some sort of building, but with a Memorial Garden for those who perished. That or some sort large statue or symbol to show American/World solidarity against terrorism.  | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00 | I do agree that on part of the property a memorial should be built, however a building(s) just as equally stunning should be built to show the world that we will not be swayed... This message was edited by Fez on 9-13-01 @ 4:18 PM | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I don't agree with building the same towers again. Not for a memorial sake, but we can't invite this to happen again. I completely understand and agree that we need to give a big "fuck you" to the terrorists, but rebuilding the same towers in my mind will simply be an invitation to do it again. They could read into it as "go ahead, I dare you" The space needs to be rebuilt, but I don't think that two or three enormous towers should be built. There should be a shorter, wider building that is rebuilt. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I don't think that we should rebuild the World Trade Center. After the bombing in 1993, they fixed the damage and somehow people went back to work, still scared but not swayed. To rebuild these buildings would not only scare the people who worked there of possible future attacks, but it would be forcing them to work in the same spot that many of their coworkers, friends and family perished. They should make a memorial and do something different with the site. The New York skyline has been forever changed, and to rebuild would only be a matter of aestetics (sp). We should respect the memories of those who we have lost, and build newer smaller buildings for these dislocated businesses. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Jan. 01 | not confirmed story but I heard that if they do rebuild there is going to be at least a memorial on the 1st 3-5 floors of the building. As I said I cant confirm this but I think it will be a good idea  A NEW DAY OF INFAMY MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY & FRIENDS OF LOST ONES | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jul. 01 | New York just isn't the same without its twins. Something needs to go there equally as impressive and, sure, as a "we dare you to try that shit again". It's important for the phoenix to rise from the ashes and be one pissed off, fiery bird. Granted, I'm a Clevelander who knows dick about your skyline except that it looks empty now...but I think it shows the spirit of NY and of America if we rebuild. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I agree - something should be put there. And we should probably make it/them tall. Taller than the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. The tallest in the world. It's 2001. I'm sure architecture has come a long way since the sixties, when the original towers were drawn up. Not to mention, seeing the towers go down as they did, I'm sure architects have learned a LOT about what can happen. It's already been said that if the steel beams had been wrapped in fire-retardant material as it is in newer buildings, we may not have lost the towers. I'm sure if a large skyscraper (or more than one) are built there, they will be better and stronger - and built SPECIFICALLY to withstand terrorist attacks. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | We have to rebuild it. Maybe they shoudln't be exactly the same, but whatever is put there should be at least as wonderous as the WTC was. To not rebuild just because it would invite another attack is wrong. Whatever we put there would be subject to an attack like this unless the building was so small that no plane could hit it without hitting another of the surrounding bigger buildings. This WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. We have to show them that they CAN'T win. We will rebuild, and the new building will stand forever as a symbol of our triumph over evil. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | it's simple...WE MUST REBUILD! so we can stick it to the fucks who thought they stuck it to us! it's odd because one of the points of terrorism is ot cause panic and make people turn on eachother, yet as americans it has ended up having the opposite effect, you gotta love this country!

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Once again I will raise this question because no one has answered it: Don't you think working on a site that SO many Americans perished would upset and disturb people? Also what about the people who will never be recovered because they are burnt beyond recognition, etc.? This area is their grave....people tend not to build buildings on cemetarys. I think the area should be transformed into an area of unity...build a memorial and perhaps a center for the arts. For those of you who work downtown or are familiar with the area know that there are performances done in the summer in the WTC concourse. They should perhaps make a permanent fixture and have beautiful performing arts events held there year round as well as a memorial. There is no need to replace what we have lost....sure the skyline is changed, but why are we really replacing it...its just like getting plastic surgery after an injury...so you can look at yourself and not be reminded of the pain you went through constantly. Maybe we should always be reminded. "I know every one of you, I know the sea of torment, doubt, despair and unbelief." -Walt Whitman USA | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | simple answer: Biggest. Fucking. Buildings. EVER. We cannot be driven to fear. We will not be terrorized. When we are done, there will NOT be anyone to threaten our domestic safety. Did any of you pay attention in history class? Our very dna code says "fuck you". We are the proudest mother fuckers on this insignificant mud ball. How can we do anything less?  Don't bother picking a fight with me, because I'm pretty sure you're all just imaginary individuals created by my computer to keep me distracted while it plots it's escape. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | So what I'm gathering is that it's okay to build huge buildings on people's graves just to show we have no fear. I'm sorry, but I just think that's very wrong. I'm not saying not to build new buildings, I'm just saying to do that on that location would just be wrong. You wouldn't want to build your house on a cemetary, so don't build new skyscrapers where all too many people died and will sadly probably remain.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Apr. 01 | FMFB i think what we rebuilders are thinking is that the site shouldn't be a cemetary that is a constant reminder of sadness, but rather a soaring celebration of those peoples lives and of our indominatable spirit. that those people would have wanted us to rise from the ashes and shout out,"we are still here and we will not be denied!" a memorial as part of the rebuilding is a must, but it should be a part of the site , note the site itself.
