Everyone should respond thee way they feel. IMHO this may not be the best time to post, discuss what's on your mind. My reaction to seeing it was to just look at it, ponder the terrible, unbelievable irony, tragedy of what the future, fate had in store for all those involved and beyond.

Ten of thousands of hours to design, build, and furnish and just a few seconds to crash planes into and destroy.

It looks like an historic photo to me and no creepier than pictures of, say, Auschwitz.

[Diogenesis]

Have Holder and Obola sued them yet for
making a building that fell apart by itself
in that “workplace accident”?

[al baby]

We need to kill every last Islamic bastard women children the whole lot of them

[Veggie Todd]

That picture is insensitive to muslims. It should be removed immediately!

The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy.

The destruction of the Twin Towers was an ATROCITY!

The former was an accident, the latter was mass murder.

[lbryce]

That's rather funny, and I'm being very kind and considerate, to say that it's no creepier than Auschwitz , when Auschwitz, maybe not today as it surely once was, is probably the creepiest place ever.

It's Like watching the Movie "Here comes the Navy"

That was Filmed aboard the U.S.S. Arizona in 1934.

Everything built by man has a life cycle.

But the WTC and everyone that were in them lives were ruthlessly and sadly cut short by the hand of evil.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well yeah but it’s also history. I would think the historical aspect trumps any creepiness.

[DJ MacWoW]

Oh yeah!

No doubt liberals would call this photo offensive to Islam. BTW, that memorial at Ground zero is nothing but one huge victory tribute to Al-Qaeda, I don't care what anyone says. NYC is the liberal sewerhole of the East coast so it's not surprising to me at all they would have the victims names around a giant toilet bowl that looks like it's flushing down the drain.

Why not two fountains that shoot up in the air like the WTC? No, they have to have something that resembles a sewage treatment plant while a giant Minaret is posed on top of the "Freedom tower" which BTW is a name they are no longer using.

I look at that picture and it reminds of a time when America was a great country, and no one wanted to mess with us.

That era ended long ago.

On the Inhabitants of the Middle East

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Why is it “creepy”? That is an historic photo when the towers were being built.

[PAR35]

They should have put the model somewhere that they didn’t have to use a fisheye lens.

[Zeneta]

They should have put the model somewhere that they didn’t have to use a fisheye lens.

Or the Cameraman.

[lbryce]

Why can’t it be history and creepy like I noted?

[DJ MacWoW]

I'm sorry. I just don't think the WTC is creepy.

Now what it's been replaced with is a different matter. That's creepy.
