Sorry, I didn't even read the article....

I don't like it---I am one of the ones that thinks the Twin Towers need to be built back.

I'm with you. The towers should be rebuilt exactly as before except much stronger and a full story higher.

Built back, but bigger. (How's that for alliteration.)

Is it economically profitable? Why build it at all?

Has a workable plan been approved to destroy the building safely at the end of its useful life?

The Twin Towers couldn't possibly be rebuilt. For one thing, they wouldn't meet the safety standards discussed here in terms of their setback from the highway.

More important than that, though, is that there simply is no market in lower Manhattan for that much office space. In fact, I'll be very surprised if the building described in this article is completed by 2010. Larry Silverstein, the developer who owns the rights to build on this site, is in the process of re-building 7 World Trade Center -- the 52-story building at the north end of the site that also came down on 9/11. He has yet to sign a single tenant to a lease in that building.

Just another retreat!

Let The Donald do it....He said he would duplicate exactly what the ragheads destroyed and yet make it one story taller...

Thats American thinking, not whimp junk!!!!
