Twin Towers- rebuild?

Does anyone else here think they should rebuild the Twin Towers?
Any big tower that they build on the site (eg the Freedom Tower) is probably going to end up being a target for terrorism anyway.

Wasn't the Freedom Tower supposed to be made out of glass? I don't even see how that's feasible.

are they rebuilding?
I remember being there in 05 and asking why it was still just a big
hole in the ground and they said it was because they didn't have the money to rebuild it.

Yes. They should just rebuild them. Except this time the primary construction material should be Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt carts. That would be good. Yes.

There would have been little to no human life lost by hitting the Statue of Liberty (except the people in the plane). I could be wrong, but I think it was closed to the public going up during that time.

I'm still amazed they didn't go after the White House first. The President wasn't there, but as far as "leaving a mark", I think having it blown away would have been a huge one.

Legend Of Success Joe > terrorism

They should just fucking replace that tablet the Statue Of Liberty is holding with a Legend Of Success Joe cart.

And carve his face into Mount Rushmore.

At the time of the cleanup, the Yankees and Mets were looking for a location for a new Ballpark...

It might be sick, but it made good sense to me.

That should be the new World Trade Center! Wouldn't that be a hoot, a giant "Fuck You" to the world at large and the terrorist more to the point. But of course some politically correct fuck would axe such a project.

Should have rebuilt it exactly the same as before (only with modern methods and materials of course.)

I think that those "politically correct fucks" are people that lost family members there.

What the hell for? Might as well try something a little different, who wants more of the same? But I keep forgetting that most are toast people to begin with, so what else is new.

You'd think they'd be the first ones to approve of a giant hand giving "the bird" to the rest of the world and namely terrorist the world over. I know I would had I lost someone at the WTC. There comes a point where simply *remembering* and observing a tragedy must then march on forward with true grit. That to me would be that design of a 5 towered World Trade Center in the guise of a giant hand sticking up out of the ground saying FAH-Q to everyone... that we won't forget and that here's what we think of you.

But like I said, politically correct fucks would ruin such a project even if the funds were in place to begin construction of such an undertaking.
