Still sends shivers when I see an OLD pic of the NY skyline, and I see the twin towers standing there, proud and dominant.

What better way to remember the tragedy than to build them back, 1 level taller, and dedicate the 2 new floors (one on each tower, right?) to a museum of NY history, WTC history, and 9/11?

To stand beside those towers and look up must provoke a strong emotional response. To then walk inside and tour a museum so that generations can witness what we did should be what we are looking for.

I have to agree, to replace the towers with a skeleton is a double-edged sword. I like the idea of an identical+1 design. I also like the idea of showing people that it cannot, will not be replaced.

My thoughts.
