Do you like the new WTC / the Freedom Tower,
CGI IMAGERY

or the old Twin Towers?

I personally think the new design is EPIC, considering it will be taller then the motherloving empire state building.
It's going to be the new highest point of NYC, how freaky!


Beautiful

So respectful to those who died.

The first WTC were taller then the Empire State Building..

I don't find anything unique about this building besides its height.  Such as the Twin Towers, they were two towers that looked similar, that caught the eye easily and was remembered.  This is like tossing another structure into the sea of concrete.

Empire state building- 1,225 feet if I recall correctly.
1,225 feet- not that tall in modern times.

Also, I enjoyed the stark, staring beauty of the old World Trade Center towers. Someone once said that they were great buildings, but not great architecture. I disagree- I feel like there was a simple elegance in their being the tallest building in the world but little more than gray boxes. I am truly disappointed I was never able to see them.

In reality that whole 9/11 thing wasn't the end of the world, or nearly as much the america shattering event people think it was.
New fake tower is nice though.

What do you mean?

New design is stupid, they should have just rebuilt them like the old ones.

New one looks easier to hit with a plane.

You really think people would want to go inside?

Either this or something unique, like what I stated.

Never said it was. It was simply horrible though. Way to take what I said out of context.
