There was another project being considered, Twin Towers Two, that consisted of rebuilding the original Twin Towers, but with additional floors and much improved safety measures with a few extra staircases. The designs were more detailed and plentiful in addition to the fact that more New Yorkers supported it. Freedom Tower is great and all, but this design is what New Yorkers wanted.
Maybe it is what New Yorkers wanted. Maybe it isnt. But is it what the 9/11 victims and family and friends wanted? Imagine this. Every day when you go to work or school or wherever, you drive by and see the New Twins.
Everyday, youre being reminded of what you had lost. Every. Single. Day.
And Im not an expert on buildings, but I do enjoy them, but thats besides the point. The point is, Im sure that any buidling in the world could and would be destroyed if terrorists wanted them destroyed badly enough.
Yes, this new WTC is much safer and much stronger then the old one, but Im sure if al Queda wanted it gone, it could be gone.
