Hi Mary Anne,

Thanks for taking time out from from baking to drop by...;-)...

I do think rebuilding the Towers as they were would be a powerful and clear message: "You can't even force us to change the design of a building!".

One thing that occurred to me, though, is how people who would work in the Twin Towers 2.0 would feel about it. It wouldn't take long for ghost stories to pop up, in any design on the site, but they'd probably be creepier for the tenants in a reconstruction of the previous Towers. Would it trigger superstitious feelings of "tempting fate"? If you worked on one of the floors hit directly by a plane, would you feel like you're wearing a bullseye?

I dunno, maybe it'd all turn out OK, and those considerations would apply to any design, albeit more so with an exact recreation. Just a thought....
