The towers were actually originally designed to withstand an airplane crash to the size of a metroliner however to save cost the architect, Yamasaki were forced to re-direct the attention and money focus to other areas of construction in the building. Had it not been for his design, the buildings would of likely toppled over causing more death and destruction. Damn Americans always trying to save money and cut quality...
The towers will not ever be rebuilt...Instead I believe four or five shorter differently shaped towers will be erected on the sites to comemorate the event. They will be placed surrounded by a park or grassy area from what we were shown in the plans.
The architect chosen for this task was Daniel liberskind (this is from what I remember from class, pretty sure it was him though. . (Someone paid attention in class! Hooray Architecture!)
Just some info...the wound will be reclosed supposedly by 2010 at the latest.
The new plans take alot of time...
If anyone was interested.
I think Sadam being hanged is good. It won't heal alot fo things...but its a damn good start in my book. Atleast he won't be able to be used as a figurehead anymore...
I hope we prevail in the war.
