New York's lost Twin Towers

OK, like many others round the world, I was devasted to see the 2 World Trade Center towers in New York fall on September 11th, not only because I have sinced investigated in-depth the causes and destruction, but because in July/August 1999 I visited New York city and went up one of the towers. I'm just thankful I wasn't there on September 11th, and/or anyone I know wasn't either too. If anyone here did have a contact that was lost, then you have my upmost gratitude and sincere apologies, plus respect.

I am, in my heart and will always be devastated at what happened on that awful day as New York city became my favourite city 2 years prior to the attrocities. I would've love to have visited them again, but for many that will never be, even if 2 new stylish towers will be built on the old site. Rudolph Guilani, mayor of NYC, handled the situation in the city brilliantly after 9/11, but for many months, up until at least the 2nd anniversary, New York wasn't the same since, although normality had returned.

And it will always probably stay how it has become now, since 9/11.

People say those towers were ugly.

I say they were modern.
I say they were smart.

But the fact that 2 new towers could be built on the old site is wrong.

And now the fact that they wanna put 2 swimming pools in exactly the diameter plots of where the towers were is a good idea, but a mick-take.

Keep the area flat and safe, and most of all, memorial.
