New Trade center plans unvealed

I just read something on new plans for the WTC site. If you want to read it, I'll try to get a hyperlink by tomorrow.

2 of the plans are for the world's tallest builing. Others are for memorials and smaller buildings.
Put your comments here.

I think that we should just have a memorial. Nothing more. A large garden or something of that nature. Or just build a new set of towers in the memorial.

One of the things they suggested was (I think) double-reflection pools with ,like.... Small statues of the WTCT.... I think..... That was for a memorial, obviously, so....

i heard that they were supossed to rebuild one of the building and have a mimorial at the other site.

There was a tolerably informative "special" on this on BBC World Service this morning (my time) and the general impression was that this will be a tall, impressive, architecturally-ambitious, structure: not a simple memorial.

A split thread, alas,
but quite a nice "slide show" of the designs on the London Times' page here:
www.timesonline.co.uk...

I've always liked this design the best:

But... um.... That kinda has "Hit me al Qaeda" written all over it... dunnit?

I remember seeing that shortly after the attacks. You just gotta love that statement! (Of course, some nice anti-aircraft batteries on top of each finger would be needed...)

I doubt tjat al-Qaeda would strike the same place again, plus we would be prepared.

Hate to sound like a pessimist, but they'll end up finding a way. I mean, they bombing the former WTC in '93, and the they caused 'em to collapse. They'll unfortunately find a way, although by that time Osama himself may be the only one left... in which case... WOOHOO!! Bye bye OBL!!
