I have always felt that the time for a memorial is after we win the war on terrorism. How are all the "experts" and "complainers" going to feel if we have another attack when for over 2 years all they cared about was the footprints.

May sound harsh but that is how I feel.

As always I still believe the towers rebuilding should have started 2 years ago and been replicas of the originals with a different name.

They'll say that additional attacks are our fault.

I agree that the rebuilding of the towers should have been well under way by now, but I'd keep the name. After all, it's still on the signs in the subway stations (Chambers Street 8th Avenue line and E train at Vesey St.) and prominently at the new PATH station.

I'm with you:
The World Trade Center should be rebuilt much as it was, except perhaps taller, and flying from the top should be one of our very first flags, the rattlesnake "Don't Tread On Me" flag!

Perhaps with the rattler wrapped around a crescent...

I don't like the replica idea, too many bad memories if they looked exactly the same. and they would be too big, no one would rent space in the upper floors, etc.

what NYC needs is a state of the art structure there, modestly sized, but something that looks to the future, not back to the past. I would design something that captured the angle of the sun every calendar date of 9/11, and used it to illuminate the memorial part of the complex.
