Well, whatever. I wish they'd have just built them back (+ one story).

Architecturally it was the best of the bunch...
which isn't saying much.

They look incomplete; like some crazed, Islamic giant lopped the tops off with a scimitar. I guess that it's their way of apologizing to Al Qaeda for getting the old towers in the way of their hijacked airliners.

The developers have already let it be known that the finished site will be completely different from whatever design was chosen.
A year and half to choose the design they're going to ignore. Government at work.

No, the cuts into the towers reflect the pain at having lost the people in the first ones. The fact that there are new towers reflects our resolve, and willingness to go forward.

They look like open wounds. The only open wounds I want to see are on the other guys.

Don't think for a second that this is what is going up on that site. I'll bet everything I have that Bush will see to it that the WTC is rebuilt as it was before.
To: Lunatic Fringe
Yes! Bigger/taller and better looking.
Dont mind the whiners. Some folks will be dour because they can salvage defeat from the jaws of obvious victory.
Good job NYC!!!
To: MarylandPines
Oh please.

Mine as well.

I love this plan.. and especially the significance of the spire height. 1776 Feet. I can't think of a better height than 1776
