World Trade Center replacement

Postby Isaiah on Sat Oct 08, 2005 1:46 pm

There have been plans to replace the destroyed World Trade Center in New York City.

There have been two proposals, the Freedom Tower and the Twin Towers 2.

Image

FREEDOM TOWER

Height to tip = 1776 feet (541m)
Height to top floor = 1362 feet (415m)
Floors = 82

Image

TWIN TOWERS 2 (publicized as "The Plan of the People" and "World Trade Center Phoenix")

no info yet, it just says that it'll have 111 floors now.

got this stuff from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_tower
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Towers_2

I'm all for rebuilding the Twin Towers. Show those damn terrorists that you can break us.

I think the Freedom Tower is another good idea though. It depends what will bring more revenue to the city. My guess is the Twin Towers.

Please don't call it the "Freedom Tower" it's just the pinacle of homosexuality.

I think the Freedom tower looks better though, just has a gay name.

Honestly, either one would be fine but I'd prefer to get the building process going ASAP.

The Twin Towers were a very important part of NYC and there is obviously a big hole in the skyline now that they are gone. Rebuilding those practically identical towers would be awesome.

I say you just build a 40 story Burger King

The Freedom Tower looks good, but put me down as someone else that doesn't care for the name. Both ideas look fine to me, but I'd call them the new World Trade Center or the new Twin Towers rather than giving them the Freedom label.

The Freedom Tower looks better but the WTC Phoenix is much better in generating revenues! IMO.
The name Freedom Tower reminds me so much of that "Freedom Fries" fiasco.

Maybe NYC could build 5 smaller towers shaped like fingers flipping someone off!
That'll send a clear message to those terrorists!

Yes, "so tall" again is right. Shit, I'd say big them bigger than the old WTC.

As for capturing Bin Laden before he "does it himself", I think that's stupid. Bin Laden isn't the guy who came up with the plan, he was the guy who funded it. If we take out Bin Laden Al-Queda will just be run by his right hand man and if someone has a bright idea they'll fund it and organize it. Capturing Bin Laden will not stop terrorism, it would just be good for PR.
