+--- Thread: My attempt to beat teen week to a news story.. - New York Skyline...to be fixed up... (/showthread.php?tid=5407)

So I read on CNN that they picked a design for the buildings that will go where the WTC used to be.
Here's the article...
It's got pictures and I personally like the new design...I think it'll look good. I'm sure all the sacred ground and other such considerations are going to be taken, even thought the article didn't mention it. I also think it'll be cool to have the tallest building again...

i think the mta wants to put a bus depot under it but people are complaining

Fucking horrible looking. It's just a puny, thin little fucking spire. Whoopee, it's tall. The towers were fucking MASSIVE. That's bullshit.

Maybe I actually go to sleep. And it looks awful. WHo the fuck wants a huge pit in the middle of Downtown. This fucking sucks.

I really haven't been following the designs but I think this one might look good...we'll have to wait and see till it's built...maybe they'll change their minds and go with the WCC idea instead...

this is old, and its a scam. they are choosing his plan because its the easiest to manipulate. the final product will barely look like his proposal. i don't care how big that giant needle is, if you're gonna build it tall, make it a building, not some lame ass needle.

am I the only one who thinks they should've just rebuilt the towers, maybe update them a little? I know all about the people's feelings about it being sacred ground, but I think putting them right back they way they were would've been the strongest statement we could make, kinda like a huge FUCK YOU to the terrorists.
- Buttmunch - 02-27-2003
I'm not sure what they should do there. I'm not wise enough, nor foolish enough to think for the true victims. But, I'll know the right design when I see it, and I ain't seen it yet.
- Goatweed - 02-27-2003
I don't like this design, but I didn't really like any of them. The simplest is usually the best, and you can't get much simpler than the way it was.

At least they didn't pick the socialistic "world cultural towers" with that fucking garden up top
- Keyser Soze - 02-27-2003
i agree with goat, rebuild the original, with some kind of unique twist or bit of style to them.
fuck it, just rebuild them to look exactly like the original but make them indestructable, or at least make it safer and easier to evacuate them.
- Galt - 02-27-2003
They could rebuild them and cover them with a giant pillow to protect them.

- Keyser Soze - 02-27-2003
galt is onto something. maybe have like surface to air missles on the top of the tower to take out planes.
- Buttmunch - 02-27-2003
They should make them retractable; like a missile silo.
That way in the case of danger, they would sink into the ground and be covered by bomb-proof doors.
Yeah, that's what they should do.
- Keyser Soze - 02-27-2003
wow, now we're talking. we should have been on the planning committee. i call shenanigans.
- 2 tired 2 give N F - 02-27-2003
Maybe they could have made them both space ships...then BM would know that's the right idea...
- Galt - 02-27-2003
There could be like a 1000 foot tower on top of both of the towers with a mace that hangs from them and swings around and beats the shit of out anything or anyone who tries to fuck with NYC.
In fact there should be one of those that stands like 3000 miles in the air based in Nebraska or something that just fucks the shit out of anything that tries to touch our borders.

.... You do realize there's a bunch of other buildings on the site, right?
