But my hope is that whatever they build is awesome and beautiful....and defended. And includes a pyrimid of skulls in the memorial. With Osama's skull as a center piece. And a suspended walkway so you can stand over it and piss in his eye sockets.
It should be arranged so we can add a LOT of skulls as the war against the Islamists continues.
YOU GO ANN, YOU GO!!!
BUILD THEM BACK!
My twenty something daughter said she would work in a rebuilt WTC in a heartbeat. I then asked her if she would want 'her' daughter to work in a rebuilt WTC......she said NO in a heartbeat.
Therein lies the problem, how many families would be stressed beyond belief if a loved one chose to work in the rebuilt WTC.
It took a very long time to get tennants for the WTC before there were terror attacks. Perhaps five equal size buildings would be a better idea.
I'm no expert, but would that center tower be upwards of 300 stories?
Far Freepin' out!
er ..... up!
Something like THIS would be nice:
Build them back!: Ann Coulter wants WTC towers bigger than before, on terrorThank you!
:-)
Oh Good Grief .. did Hilda really say that?? .. Does this women ever stop campaigning??
It was nice that Ann mention the village in Kenya
As for building the WTC even bigger .. Sounds nice but realistically .. I doubt you'll get many people to work in them .. but I sure as heck wouldn't build a park
The twin towers were sheer, exposed, vulnerable. Looking at what was hit on 9/11, the terrorists in their neanderthal simplicity succeeded in hitting only the largest targets possible in the U.S. And they almost missed the Pentagon, apparently hitting the ground before skidding into it. Trying to hit other symbolic icons, e.g. the White House, Statue of Liberty, even the Capitol, would have been very difficult with their brutal method.
The chances they could pull off another similar aerial attack on our soil are now virtually nil. But that's easy to say sitting at your computer far from the danger zone. Even before the attacks, it was a dizzying experience to be on the 99th floor of one of the towers, looking straight down out the window at thousands of feet of freefall. It was human nature to imagine the building tipping over, or the glass breaking and you falling to oblivion, or even an airplane hitting it.
It's nice to think of rebuilding them higher and prouder, but the psychological element of the folks who will actually have to live and work way up there is real. I'll be honest- I wouldn't be thilled to be relocated to the 112th floor of the new WTC.
Any new re-design will have to take this into account. At least make the structure more tapered or pyramidical; wider at the base, more structurally "solid". Reassure NYC's citizens (at least visually) that another collapse would be an impossibility.
Thanks for the ping, JH2.
hehehe
My proposed solution: move the UN to the top stories and use its current digs for something useful.
