• Dutch architects apologize for 9/11 blast look-alike design
    97 replies, posted
So all twin towers are the same. Makes sense.
First look at the building and people go: "Twin towers + somewhat bloated part... Twin towers.... Twin... 9/11! You swine!" How long has it been by the way? 10 years? For fuck sakes, and you still whine about it? GodDAMN! [editline]12th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Lachz0r;33685031]"A real media storm has started and we receive threatening emails and calls of angry people calling us al Qaeda lovers or worse," frankly if those are the kind of people getting pissed off then they shouldn't even bother apologizing. ignorant pricks, i'm sure the design of some seoul skyscrapers will affect you so much!!![/QUOTE] To be honest, said people shouldn't be entitled an opinion. Its been what? 10 years? And people look at something with 2 towers and instantly call the designers Al Qaeda lovers... Who in their right mind thinks like that?! Thats like calling someone with a gun a murderer.
So apparently smoke and fire looks like a clusterfuck of rooms? Really?
Attention outraged Americans: The world does not revolve around you and not everything is in some kind of reference to you. Attention sensationalist media: Three outraged Americans does not justify making the entire country look like rabid arrogant pricks
Attention whoring at it's finest, clearly it isn't intentional.

Now I want to see some architect made a building vaguely resembling a swastika and see the world implode with sheer rage.

It looks nothing like it. People are just looking for things to complain about.
[QUOTE=nightlord;33687219]It looks nothing like it. People are just looking for things to complain about.[/QUOTE] Well as someone said before it's just three random Americans thinking the world revolves around them.
If they change the design then I'll be disappointed. We shouldn't pussy out of it just because some whining Americans are "Hurt".
There is nothing more annoying then some self important American demonizing something because it somehow reminds them of something. Do you know that that in WWI our military had a medal that was a Swatstika? And a town in Texas is called Swastika? Then some bloke who looked like Charlie Chapplin used it, now that town and those medals are evil because people got all sacrilgeous and :downs:
I think it looks pretty interesting. [img]http://www.designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/lauren/0%20the%20cloud/cl02.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;33685492]Design looked kinda cool in my opinion. I see a lot of resemblance but I'm pretty sure it was unintended?[/QUOTE] most of the resemblance is when you look at it from below [IMG]http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2011/12/12/203563.jpg[/IMG] I think they should go ahead with it anyway.
I can see why some people raged but seeing the other concept art I really think it's an interesting design.
If this gets built it will be the first building i actually find interesting enough to consider going to see it.

How many people, 4?

tl;dr the terrorists won. They don't win by killing the most amount of people like in a "regular" war, they win by putting fear (terror) into their enemies hence the title "terrorist"
[QUOTE=Lambeth;33689250]most of the resemblance is when you look at it from below [.i.] I think they should go ahead with it anyway.[/QUOTE] Looks like a very tacky engineering nightmare.
I don't recall any large blasts on the 9th of November. What are they talking about?
it definitely does look like the towers on 9/11, but jesus christ it wasnt intentional and it doesn't matter at all
[QUOTE=mobrockers2;33687185][url]http://www.satellite-sightseer.com/id/4005[/url][/QUOTE] [quote]From: tyranny response Tue May 16 10:59:51 -0700 2006 if you go to the google map and you look at it from true north it is turned 180 degrees. if you research history you find the sun symbol is thousands of years old found on ancient secret society tablets a couple thousand years old. but the ancient symbol was not origanly turned 180 degrees hitler did this to indicate the negative. the pentagon is acually a satanic symbol it really forms a pentagram and the top point is facing north because according to the ancients or there occult astrology system you gather power from the gods of war from the north star or sumthing like that. in ancient babylon they sacrificed there children to moloch(its in the bible) and moloch was worshiped as an owl, a goat headed beast, or any diety. if you go to google earth or just the search engine around the congress building is an owl and the building sits in its belly. these im sure these are all coincidences and its crazy to think our so called leaders are involved in satanism? well in the bible it says satan is the ruler of all the kingdoms of earth jesus admits it in the bible. these people worship sun symbols. in the bible it says satan will desguise himself as an angel of light( the sun) the god that masons worship horus the sun god. and the bible also says at the end of the world the comming of lucifer will show himself hidden in plain view if great signs and symbols. it is also important to note that george bushs grandfather acually got fined for trading with hitler before and after the war. the bush family fortune origannly came from him owning shares in aushawits death camp. hitler was in the order of death secret society and bush and his father are part of skull and bones secret society at yale where inside is allegly a headed statue of hitler. these are death cults from the german bavarian illuminati. founded may 1st 1776. if you still have doubts look at alex jones' work Dark secrets inside bohemian grove documentry can be viewed for free at google video beta. there about 2000 members a year go to a secluded redwood grove in northern california where for about 2 weeks of the summer political leaders,masters of industry, media figure heads ( cough walter cronkite) go there and infront of a 45 foot stone owl they sacrifice 4 moch bodies in effigy where they have a little play and mention babylon, moloch, as an owl and do moch human sacrifes there own annals put out by them have pictures of bush,nixon,regean walter does the narration of the play and in my own opinnion its occultism. the definition of occult is secret thats there religion is secrecy. but alex jones snuck in and got it all on tape and you can be the judge for yourself. so if you wanna believe crap like it was before the war then the building cant be related. or its where nazis were held, or the japs are comming thats all lies to avoid the too unreal thing to believe and thats that these people worship lucifer. a warning to people june 6th is the year of there lord 06/06/06 so be watchful for a terrorist attack or a biological outbreak or sumthing eveil is bound to happen. and i leav you with 1 last piece of info september 11th 1991 , george busg sr. speech to the U.N said that what is at stake here is a big idea that a New Worrld Order can emerge from these troubled times. 10 years to the date look what happened. bush jr has said that when our ancestors prophecised a new order of the ages it was an ancient dream meant to be fullfilled. the bible says at the end of time the world will create a 1 world government controlled by 10 kings and they will be of 1 mind and all there power will be unto lucifer. dont believe me do the research for yourselves. good luck From: tyranny response Tue May 16 11:06:57 -0700 2006 sorry my mistake it was rotated 45 degrees not 180 . 180 degrees would be the same picture sorry.( note to self, do your research)[/quote] what an intriguing read
[QUOTE=Aurora93;33692025]what an intriguing read[/QUOTE] it r true
Wow it's amazing. I think it's fine it reminds people of 9/11. They built a fucking memorial for it and the new towers are made to look like the old skyline. People want and need to remember to get over it, but they are jelly it's being built in Seoul.
[QUOTE=Aurora93;33692025]what an intriguing read[/QUOTE]What the fuck is that shit? Did a paranoid schizophrenic snort two kilograms of cocaine and bash their head against their keyboard for an hour?
I really like the cube theme to it, especially in the section connecting both buildings.
Why should the Dutch continue to sidestep your terrorist attack more than a decade after it happened, America? [editline]12th December 2011[/editline] This is also an architectural [I]masterpiece[/I].
