If you miss the Twin Towers, come here and let everyone know!

[TwinTowers]

Since Daquan hates me and literally everyone else talking about the Twins in the other threads, this is going to be the place to chat about the Twin Towers, what they meant to the New York skyline, how hard it is to deal with the fact that they will never be seen again, and not having to "poison" the other threads on this board with this "stuff."

So let the Twin Towers love begin!

[WTC]

are we sure we will never see the twins again

[Daquan13]

Let me put it to you this way:

Nothing, nata, ziltch, zero, zippo, kaput.

Is it beginning to sink in with some of you now?

[MexAmericanMoose]

First off, I never said that I hated that anyone talking about them, as long as it's not posted all over God's creation.

It IS good that you've started this thread so that the other threads aren't poked with the same old whining story about wanting the towers back.

I figured also, that the thread that contains pics of the former Twins was suffient enough. Where everyone, myself included, can reflect on how they
dramatically changed the scope of the Lower Manhattan skyline during their presence.

i miss those towers.

I just posted this in another thread but it actually fits in perfectly for this one:

I got to see the Twin Towers once in Oct. 99, looking from a moonroof of a limmo at night, while the limmo was moving. I can still see it in my head and will never forget. I sure wish I would have been able to see more of them. But at least I can say that I did see them.

However, what they need to do is bring back these American icons. The fact that they are not is bullshit.

Totaly right, those twin giants that dominated the new york skyline for over 3 decades should have rose again, but sadly that wont happen now, the only thing thats going up there will be the awful freedom tower, along with its neighbors.

[WTC]

has any one seen the live cams of ground zero there is a building being built or i think so were the wtc 5 stood. and i know that that building is not in the freedom tower plan.

[paul.skyscrapercity]

don't know, but could it be the transit hub there building becouse thats near where wtc 5 was

[got pidh?]

towers can be rebuilt, of course i miss them, but i feel worse for the people that died.

Of course I miss the towers. I live in Sydney Australia and I was 9 at the time of 9/11. I doubt I knew about them before then but every time I think about it, it makes me feel sad. Knowing that innocent people died there for no reason.

Peace out, Brendan.

I live in Melbourne, Australia. I visited The WTC in 2000 and was in awe of their boldness of scale and style, saw the events of Sept. 11 evolve live on TV as millions did around the world. Can't believe it's just on 5 years ago. R. I. P. those who didn't escape. My thoughts with their families, friends and all U.S.citizens left behind. We all still see the ghosts of the towers in Lower Manhatten but I guess the new WTC will become familiar as years pass.

[WTC]

hey i was just thinking we always say standing tall together and the twins were standing tall together unlike anyother buidling which is standing tall alone just saying a reason to rebuild twins

[TwinTowers]

I'd still love to see the Twins rebuilt, but let's be realistic: the plans are in motion, and the Freedom Tower, along with the other 3 towers, are being made. There's no stopping them now.

Well, at least we can still look back and see how they used to make New York great, because they will never see the light of day in Lower Manhattan ever again, which is very disappointing.

[Daquan13]

I miss them also, even though I never got the chance to visit them and see them up close and personal - like some of you guys did.

But I'm not going to cry about them, since New York won't bring them back.
We all have to move on and just keep the former towers in our hearts and minds, but they are definitely gone for good.

NY did rebuild some twins...aol TW center

The Twins were a major part of the lower Manhattan skyline. I have been known for making frequent trips to them with my family. I could not believe that just four days after I saw them from the ESB, the attacks occured. Ever since then, I wanted them to be rebuilt to defy defeat.
