You destroy our towers, we just build a taller one. Now there's NO way to crash a plane into it. Wait a minute...
This may sound a little morbid, but I thought back a while ago to 9/11. I was just thinking, that if I were a terrorist and I was trying to cause as much damage and kill as many people as possible and was one of the guys who took over the planes, wouldn't I be able to achieve that if I flew the plane into the towers at a lower level and at an angle? Yeah, I know you're thinking that I'm such a sick and inconsiderate bastard right about now, but look. I know what it's like to lose a family member, a friend, someone you care about, etc. This was just a thought, and I don't mean any harm by it.
Well in most cases the foundation of the building is usually the strongest point, hence why the building still stands. I don't know if the problem with the old WTC was structure. From what I remember, the buildings survived the crashes just fine, it was just the constant fire that melted through the metal, and there was no way to predict that planes would crash into it. Although I do agree that the best way would be to aim low. That way elevators and stairs leading to ground floor would be eliminated.
"Freedom Tower"? Pfft. America overuses that word. It looks cool. You're right, Cameron. There's nothing morbid about it, you're just thinking logical.
N.Y. Times also has a slide show of images http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/29/nyregion...9cnd-tower.html I think it looks better than the first design for the "Freedom Tower"
Freedom fries, freedom tower, the United States of Freedom... funny how these freedoms are being taken away, eh? lol.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's funny....I read Mr. Bush's latest adress to the nation. It was pretty much the same tired things he's been saying since 9-11. I regret that I was too blind to see through the statements when they were first made.

the freedom tower? :whistle: unless theyre freeing slaves in that building, i dont see what the point of calling it that is. these "patriotic" americans are so tacky.
Those idiots...you're building a taller building than the World Trade Center, you're naming it the Freedom Tower, and it's taller than the WTC. Anybody see nothing wrong with that? As MinusXero said, you're building a taller building, [sarcasm]must be impossible to it.[/sarcasm] Second, everything is based on Freedom. I mean come on, WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE BASED ON FREEDOM?! You're naming foods after freedom. Secondly, what did 9/11 have to do with freedom? 3,000 people died, I don't see any freedom there. And really, why the fuck are you going to build a building again? You're going to spend a shitload of money on a building called the Freedom Tower. I'd spend my money on drugs rather then pay the taxes to do that. Why the fuck don't you put a few aisles of walls that list the names of those who died there? That would seem much better than to build that kind of builiding. The design is cool and all, but I'm really against this.
I swear down these designs were made public a while back. Or maybe that was before they had picked this design or something...
I say we make these buildings underground. No way to crash planes into underground bunkers, eh? They're calling it Freedom Tower because only people who work there will be free.
First of all, you people are making way too big of a deal over it being called the "Freedom Tower." Is it a horrible name? Yes, but it's not hard to understand why they want to call it that.
