[QUOTE=fakedout;20298514]more targets for terrorists?[/QUOTE] You just inspired me to make a CS map called CS_WTC Where the terrorists must plant C4 on the construction site
[QUOTE=Roger The Alien;20299823]You just inspired me to make a CS map called CS_WTC Where the terrorists must plant C4 on the construction site[/QUOTE] There is a World Trade Center map on Counter-Strike. Or something incredibly similar, I'm positive of it.
We should just rebuild the original towers. It'll be a big Fuck You to the terrorists.
We should rebuild the towers, only this time we somehow rebuild them in the shape of a giant middle finger. Pointing East.
[QUOTE=fskman;20298515]How long is this going to take? EDIT You know what I don't get? Why didn't the terrorists target the statue of liberty? It would be a much more iconic target, and would truly cripple American morale.[/QUOTE] Because no one would really give a shit. 3000 people die --> Oh shit 1 statue falls down, kills maybe 5 people on the ground + everyone in the plane --> good job terrorists you managed to take out a hunk of metal
[QUOTE=CunningHam;20299831]Should have just built a memorial garden or something similar.[/QUOTE] Well, that was originally an idea, but it disgusted the families of the victims of 9/11. In fact, most of them wanted to rebuild the area like it was, or at least something similar, but the people in charge want to play politics and build it into a national memorial and some shit. The whole situation is fucked up, in my opinion.
Empire State building took 4 seconds of planning (I am exaggerating of course) and took [b]1[/b]8 months to build. With all our technology we could finish this in just a couple years or so. But we have spent 8 years planning it...
The families of the victims of 9/11 were the whole reason this took eight damn years to get started. No offense to the victims and I mean no hard feelings when I say: get the hell over it, delaying progress is not going to bring anyone back.

The 8 years we've been waiting has all been due to lack of funding and controversy because people are so split on what to do with the site. It's bullshit. just make the damn tower.
Looks incredibly similar to lloyds
[QUOTE=person11;20300524]Empire State building took [b]18[/b] months to build.[/QUOTE] Didn't someone die for every 30 metres they built up?
WTC2 was my favourite! D:
Fuck you terrorists, blow their shit up, they'll just build it again.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;20298614]The point of terrorism is to cause terror. By not rebuilding we'd be showing terrorists that they've succeeded in scaring us. By moving on and rebuilding we're sending a message. (That message being something along the lines of, "Fuck you.")[/QUOTE] i'm sure you already know this, but the terrorists have already won. look how much more paranoid people are today. airport security is ridiculous, you can't video tape any public event, and other stuff.
Fugly buildings
[QUOTE=demoguy08;20305514]Fugly buildings[/QUOTE] what's your idea of a good looking building?

It looks like shit.
A [img_thumb]http://www.wellesley.edu/Activities/homepage/archery/Homepage/Menu/target.png[/img_thumb] is what the towers will be. Although, the towers will probably have... [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/cnc/images/thumb/c/c8/SAM_site.jpg/300px-SAM_site.jpg[/img] [b][i]Sam Sites![/i][/b]

[QUOTE=smurfy;20298475]Just fucking get it done, it's been eight years.[/QUOTE] It's not due to open till 2018.
Why are they cramming a bunch of different looking buildings together like that? Honestly, the concept pictures look like disorganized shit.
I still think this design should have been built: [img]http://www.thepaincomics.com/World%20Trade%20Center%20%5Bweb%5D.gif[/img]
They should gone with the WTC Twin Towers 2 design. I would give anything to be able to stand on the top of the WTC just once.

I mean 9/11 was a fuse, and we over reacted and went to war over some stupid shit. IE WMD that were obviously not found.

They're just trolls on a larger scale.
