Justice versus Conscience

I think the problem with building a twin is… it would be too hard to look at for most people.

The new tower looks like two towers leaning against each other.

My brother helped build this!!!🙏❤

I think its beautiful and lot of people are confused on the design, 8 sides to represent both world trade centers as 1, looks amazing

Absolutely beautiful building, I so miss the World Trade Center though.

I remember, shortly after September 11th, I already started seeing proposals for different designs for the new building in the newspapers. The shock of that awful day had, for me, just started to wear off. As time went on, I wasn’t so sure whether or not the new building should be called The World Trade Center or the The Freedom Tower. However, a couple of years ago, I was in Manhattan and I took the subway down to The World Trade Center. I came up from the station and I saw this giant sign that said World Trade Center. That was an awesome moment! I said to myself that The World Trade Center is back!!

The old ones will always remain the real icon.

Theres some who feel they should have replaced the twin towers ………. while this seems to make sense, but think about it for moment. It will Not correct things, it will Not bring anyone back nor remove the horror that took place. People have severe anguish & anxiety & many lives were lost horribly. It was a terrible terrible day for everyone. …. To rebuild a replica would be to remind many of that Horrible day. This change in appearence,to me I think be for the better & let the horror lie in the past & move forward & honor the victims.

I think it looks amazing. That building is pretty much standing for the new world we live in today. It’s also a very proud looking building as well. 😊

Beautiful. Just beautiful. A testimony that American engineering is fully planted into the 21st century. 😍

I grew up in NY all my life and would look at the Twin Towers every time I went any across bridge especially the Verazzano and they were beautiful. After 9/11 when I would look in that direction it felt like someone ripped my heart out of my chest. They made the NY skyline, you knew when you were getting close to home because you could see them from miles away and this building has nothing on the Twins.

It would be fantastic to work with a company who was responsible for building such a magnificent office tower in the heart of the financial district in New York. Just imagining how much could be learned from the experts at WSP gives me goosebumps.

i’ve been to the bottom of the building and just looked right up, mesmerizing experience. It’s a beautiful thing

One World Trade Center is a beautiful new building. It feels amazing living in NYC and seeing it everyday.

I think the design of the new One World Trade Center looks great, the other designs look pretty bad though especially the one that looks like a bunch of stacked boxes like someone was playing a game of Tetris and really sucked at it. Why can’t they just build two and have them both look the same as the new One World Trade Center? i think that would be great because again it would be twin towers but it wouldn’t look exactly the same because i think to just make them exactly the same wouldn’t be right either. It has to convey newness and hope for the future as well as remembrance and our ability to rebuild and i don’t feel the designs of the other ones fit that, they just look too different.

I remember when I came to New York, my mom gave me a “tour”, and saw those beautiful towers I was ashamed to look up like a tourist, I was trying to pretend I’m real new Yorker lol, but it was imposible not to look up, freedom tower is beatiful and modern, but never gonna be so impressive like the World Trade Center

I loved the twins, and it feels empty without another. but I feel that once WTC 2 is complete and the construction is done I feel like it will be just as stunning

As much as I love the new building, it is incomplete. As is the rest of the project. The “communications ring at the roof was supposed to enclosed. They, instead, left it incomplete. Also, another WTC building was supposed have a slanted top. The pointed lower end of the roof was supposed to aim directly at ground zero. It never happened.

the building is really beautiful, and somehow, at least it seems to me, it is a kind of tribute to the missing towers, because depending on how you look, it may seem like the towers in some way, and so new generations can get an idea of the effect that had those buildings so high in this same place, so I think the design is successful , and at the same time, innovative, because despite what happened, we must look forward, and although I also liked the twin towers, I think it is better to have built this building, and start a new chapter in the history of new york, architecturally speaking. Well, the environment of the building is magnificent, I think the area is one of the best in Manhattan.

I hope to visit NY soon and can’t wait to see 1WTC and the memorial.

Gorgeous they did a phenomenal job made me cry!!!!!!! I can’t wait to visit it someday God Bless America

Strictly talking about the buildings, the architect for the original towers hated the idea of all glass for several good reasons. In my view, it looks nice, not ugly, but it doesn’t look “New York” the way the old buildings did. They were clean but gritty, gothic but timelessly modern. They said something when looking at them that this building just doesn’t. Besides that, this building doesn’t really seem to match the surrounding architecture as well.

God bless the United States of America! I’m from Guatemala I worked in NY for 5 years those where the best days of my life American people are the best very kind and generous. USA is no doubt the best country in the world

So where is the Western hemisphere? 😂 Amazing building! Looks awesome

Honestly the old ones were just two rectangles but they were iconic. But if they could build a 2nd one of this,I’d be satisfied.

Omg I just realized my dad works for WSP I asked him He apparently helped design the heating ventilation air conditioning system He’s been with WSP since 2001

Authors and builders, you did well. You did well. It’s beautiful, a statement of freedom and resilience that can scarcely be matched. I’ve been to the top, and heard the story of it’s birth. It’s an achievement for the ages and a gift to the future of New York and the USA.

WTC 1 looks pretty amazing, especially with the memorial right below. Probably couldn’t be better. … but the design I seen for WTC 2, after they changed it, was a joke I thought. The design they had the first time for WTC 2 was way better.

I was just looking forward to my first visit to NY when this whole lockdown set about us. Who knows when or if I’ll make it now; but if I do, the first thing I will do is go to see this wonderful building. Truly beautiful.

Love the building just wish they went with a twin tower design and built two side by side

Beautiful building,

incredible video and story. Thank you all for giving us greatness.

It’s a beautiful building, I think they did a good job, my only issue with it is that antenna posing as a spire…

In order to be triumphant, they needed to build two replacement towers that were kitty corner from the previous ones and taller.

I went and saw this tower 4 years ago. But it was so unreal to be there.. standing there.. knowing what happened in that exact location on 9/11/01. Chills beyond believe.

WTC 1 makes me proud to be a tourist in my home city

I) Same height for top floor as the previous towers II) The bottom part resemblance to the old towers Didn’t notice these two homages to the old towers before this video.

But the twin is always in my heart:(

It looks like two buildings morphed into one. It looks like one starting at the bottom but then the other one is morphed at the top. Hard to explain but that’s cool. Nothing will obviously never meet up to the twins but it’s still beautiful.

It’s is beautiful building indeed, but I will always prefer it’s parents, as they were so iconic.

There is such an extreme level of symbolism in every aspect of both the Twins and becoming this One trade center, it is ridiculous. People just do not understand. I guess they cannot.

That new single tower looks rather lonely without a twin.

It’s a shame this video didn’t show more or the buildings interior.

i just hope that wtc 2 will be a twin. please make the right choice. we want two towers again, even if they aren’t exactly the same.

I’m glad they decided to rebuild the World Trade Centre. Even though it’s much different from what was there before (which is usually the case when structures are rebuilt), it still looks great!

They make it sound so wonderful smh I’ll never go there! RIP to all Sept 11, 2001

It is amazing how they built the Freedom Tower to mimic both the north tower of the World Trade Center and the Washington monument.

Thank you for everything!

I ascended the tower, it’s monumental and yes, my jaw dropped, a Phoenix.

Awww 🥰 proud to live in the USA 🇺🇸

the building is incredible, especially in person. But it doesn’t seem right.

I remember driving to the jersey shore and stopped at a rest stop for food and I saw the construction of the trade center from accross the river. It was 2/3rds done

This video told me nothing about how the tower was “engineered”.

I think they nailed it. Good job NY.

The twin towers will always remain the original icons you can never replace them and it would not be smart to build them again

It looks beautiful, but the twin towers are also very beautiful, and iconic. Even though I was born after 9/11, I still have an opinion that the twin towers should have been rebuilt. But not in the same place of course, because the footprints are to honour the victims of that day. They could have rebuilt them, but right next to the memorial.

Make the actual tallest building in the western hemisphere it would be impressive. Anyone can throw a giant spire on top and call it a day, hell multiple buildings in New York are taller.

It would be cool if they made a twin but the first one is struggling to fill up so I don’t see a reason why we need one

I wish they rebuilt an updated Twin Towers. maybe like this one but two of them. It feels incomplete as one also One WTC is not as beautiful as the original 🙁

You can’t call it an icon until it becomes one. It first has to deserve the status of an icon like the old towers did.

God bless America 🇺🇸❤️

Every time I see The Freedom Tower, I can’t help but to get a lump in my throat. It’s symbolic of what was once there, what is there now, and The Freedom Tower is a pillar of strength! It really is! God Bless New York City! And God Bless America!

Beautiful.

Nothing beats the original 😭😭

It is an amazing structure, for many reasons. No, it’s not like the originals, but then again it shouldn’t be.

My favorite building💙🤤

As skyscrapers go, I think this is an improvement over what was there before. But… I don’t particularly like modern architecture and tall buildings, so my appreciation of this new tower is limited.

It’s a beautiful building

Glad to have been part of this project.

Screw this building I want the old ones back

It does look awesome but there should be two

One day I hope to visit from England, come pay respects, in memory of the British people who died that day. The relationship between America 🇺🇸 and England 🇬🇧 will remain strong. May God continue to comfort the families affected and first responders who helped that day. America we love you, prayers from me in England 🇬🇧. God bless America and England. 🙏🙏

8:06 “This giant tallest tower in the western hemisphere.” CN Tower: Am I a joke to you?

Wish we had something like this in London

Looks like something you see springing up on the Dubai skyline, plus the industrial looking eyesore of a communications tower should have been shrouded in architectural cladding.

Why not build two it would be better and bring back the feel of the old twins

No open air deck. That was what made the old twin towers amazing – a huge square open air platform over half a kilometre up in the air.

I would love this building if it weren’t for that giant-ass antenna on the roof. It’s so huge it ruins the proportions of the volume.

It’s a beautiful site. Especially watching it from an airplane window from above. . It’s breath taking

It’s an 8 side mosk on most of it’s floor’s.

Idc about you boring people but I actually find this building so Beautiful because of how Clean & Crisp it is anddd that Detail of the pinched edges is sheeesh 🤩

I always said, “built the buildings one story taller, 111 stories”, I Love the Freedom Tower but the fact of having 2 111 Story Buildings…. GOD Bless the UNITED STATES 🙏

The shock that an hour after the first building was hit there were no jets in the air and the Pentagon got hit….why wasn’t the capital protected?

love the architectural beauty of wtc1. but instead of making it 1776 feet representing the year of our independence, they should have made it 2001 feet to represent the year that 9/11 took place as a form of remembrance. they also should have built two of them

Twins were such a unique idea. Will be forever missed

One WTC is amazing, imagine a twin freedom towers instead of that glass box ugly thing (wtc 2)…

To me it looks more like a Chicago landscape. I rarely look at it from my rooftop. It gives me no particular feeling. It’s just there.

If they didn’t put an air defense system on top of that tower, they failed miserably.

I am gonna visit this one day😍😍

The twins were so much more beautiful

They should have built a twin.

After seeing what happened to the twin towers how could. Anyone be in that building & feel safe? I see a plane off in the distant I’m heading for the stairs downward.

I’m still creeped out about the whole thing . Nice recovery NYC . Cheers

Absulutie beautiful building God bless New York and united state of america 🇺🇸 .

Beautiful building

The fallout makes good cement ?

Beautiful, beautiful tower, but we could’ve also built another identical one right next to it.

I love how huge the originals looked, their width paired with the height made them so intimidating. The new tower is beautiful as well, but it doesn’t have that same empowering feeling to it imo.

With all that money invested in the reconstruction of the One World Trade Center, they missed this one flaw of the building, which only happens during very cold winter days. Ice builds up on top floors of the facade, when it thaws, it shoots down at the angles to pedestrians below. When it gets bad, they yellow tape the area off, so no pedestrians are hit with fallen ice.

r.i.p. wtc, amazing tribute 1wtc

Beautiful building but it just doesn’t feel right

For me the NYC skyline is meant to have his Twins on it for always. Not that less memorable and les beauty Single tower.

I loved Twin Towers, but I also fell in love with One WTC. Gives me chills anytime I visit the area.

Man it still looks like something there is missing just build a twin

Went to New York and seen this building with my own eyes and tbh it didn’t look really tall at all…maybe because of the angles and stuff and there’s other tall building surrounding it.

I didn’t understand the bit where they said “we listened to the public”

Better without asbestos which the towers had and added sprinklers which the towers DID NOT have. It is built next to the originals, not on the same site.

That is elegant design, no doubt

All these comments complaining about the freedom tower need to be thankful that it’s something instead of nothing. One arm is better than no arm. One leg is better than no leg. I love the freedom tower and I’m very thankful that they built something.

Hope it’s asbestos-free this time!

It’s a nice building

many tall and megatall skyscrapers have been built but nothing’s more inspiring than this!!

Kinda wished they built a second one 🙂

Beautiful building, but why are the windows different shades?

In my opinion they should’ve built the “Twin Towers II” plan, which if you dont know was a plan that involved rebuilding a stronger and slightly taller version of the 1&2 WTCs…

Why does nobody care about this building. It’s so beautiful and tall

G’d job!

Should’ve made this the tallest building in the world and really made a point!

if they rebuilt the original twins, imagine the reactions if the terrorists managed to pull off another one and it played out the same. This time alot of people would throw mean looks at the architects as well. They couldn’t risk that, so they built this concrete bunker.

I wish they just made the same thing it used to be

It looks much smaller and less impressive than the original… 🙁

This building is a perfect example of how simple architecture can still look so beautiful, and not like the designers procrastinated until the last second so they whip out something bland. The new World Trade Center, especially the OWTC, is a beautiful, shining icon of America’s resilience. I love how they came up with a design that is dominating, yet still humble. Definitely on my bucket list to visit one day.

It’d help heal the wound by building two of them just to say we’re back and better. I feel seeing one is a reminder of 9/11.

Blood money! These contractors benefited a lot from the demise of the previous blogs. I wonder who their friends are in government🤔

As an engineer, I appreciate the work that went into this. Willis Tower in Chicago is taller. This just has an extra spire or antenna on top and doesn’t count since it is not habited.

in my humble opinion,i would say overall they got this building right,having just one is a statement,and reminder,if they built 2 then it would be like trying to erase the memory of that dreadful day.i have visited the memorial,and was taken back by how quiet and almost serene the atmosphere was,i’ll never forget the day,i can only imagine the horrors that unfolded in the u.s.and the struggle to rebuild.r.i.p.

should have rebuilt it the way it was. except put in a concrete core and stairways on the corners of the building too too avoid dead ends

It’s a good looking building

Just because its not a twin tower doesnt mean its not beautiful, look at it. Its facking gorgeous

These architects don’t half talk some kak… Experiencial? Anyway, whatever it is, just don’t light any little fires nearby, as it will probably pop into dust.

It would be pity to see it being demolished again

I think they should have rebuilt the wtc instead of replace it imo. it’s a nice building but, it’s just not the same. I really like the simple one shape look of the original twin towers. They’re simple yet so beautiful! even if they just rebuilt one of the original towers as freedom tower, it would still be amazing. too bad we can’t have them back.

It will be much safer if Lucky Larry Silverstein doesn’t “pull it”.

If the developers really paid attention to the public, to New Yorkers when designing this whole project, they would know that everyone hates the new design of 2 WTC, really, no one likes it. So they should either stick to the first and original one, or come up with something better, something less boxy.

New york. The city synonyms with skyscrapers, the city that never sleeps. Btw who grew up in queens

I like the looks of this new building but I still wish they had just rebuilt the twin towers again.

Man, let’s just hope that incident doesnt happen again

Tall, strong and humble… The face of America!

THERE should be no dislikes

I love this building! but the top of the building AKA the spire is really ugly looking. I think they could of done a lot better in that regard.

I’m glad they didn’t build on the foot prints of the twins. I see it as a graveyard for all the people whose bodies could not be found due being vaporized by the heat and fire. For them, that is their final resting place even though their bodies don’t exist.

During the Months leading up to 9/11, there were many vacant floors undergoing “renovations”. The elevators were also going through upgrades which took months to complete, and allowed hundreds of tradesmen, laden with tonnes of parts and equipment, free access into both buildings and in particular, the elevator shafts which provided access to every column. The weekend before 9/11 there was no operational security in the building for the best part of 2 days. This information is not a conspiracy theory, it is easily verified by the Port Authority service records. There was more than enough time & opportunity to completely wire both buildings for a controlled explosion. Wake up America, your Governments have a history of doing this. Use some of your intelligence to seek the truth yourself. May all the victims of 9/11 RIP.

If you want to building a building, Unions shouldn’t have any impact on how it’s built. Here’s the plans. You either want to build it or we’ll find someone else…

2/27/90 which ever CIA personnel was there between one of them I was arrested in the bldg.

Just make sure its by 512×512.

I saw One Trade Center with my own eyes and as a building is impressive but I still belive they should of build back the twin towers.

The freedom tower looks good. The first towers looked good, but they were not strong enough, plus we’re in the modern day age now, where things and time has changed, and not in the 60s anymore. Let’s move forward America with it.

Great design… Thank you.

This is good. They painted this building so that it reflects the sky (being more invisible from the sky) and is in less visible place so that the terrorists can’t find it so easy. It is 1,776 feet tall which matches the ‘year of US Independence’. C’mon, be grateful.

Wasn’t it a bit gross to build a new tower on top of where so many died and were never found? wouldn’t there bodies be part of the foundations? I thought a giant memorial garden like a second central park would have been more respectful to the fallen.

Amaaazing this vídeo ok💙💙💙💙💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙💙💙😁👍

they should have built the same that came down, defiance should have been the word imo

It looks great, but they could have made all the windows look the same shade of color.

Beautiful. I’ll be in NYC this coming August and can’t wait to see this. But aren’t there other building in the design???

Someone online pointed out the patchy glass, like it was sourced from different suppliers. There are weird irregular patterns and now every time I look at it I can’t see past that. Hope I’ve not ruined it for you! :/

Its a beautiful building but you can’t replace the Twin Towers. As a child my dad took me several times to the World Trade Center and the most icon scene that I can remember was when looking back at the Twin Towers when the sun set down across the Hudson river. I remember taking the ferry back home and nothing can replace that scenery from across the river whether you were standing on Hoboken, Liberty state park or Boulevard East the Twin Towers were irreplaceable.

Chacha super felicitation une mamie

Easy insurance money with losing the first batch😉 Judges gotta get paid too

Should of made it taller, not by cheating and adding a 400 ft spire to the building

The towers were demolished and had many vacancies prior to 9/11. There was not a need to build a second one again, there never will be. There’s no space for a second one regardless.

Well, i see some folks don’t appreciate the appearance of this one. Would you prefer another pair of quarter mile high tombstones?

We should have constructed two of them. THAT would have been savage. Is it me or is the clip trying too hard to win us over??

I think they should have tired to make it the tallest building in the world!

world trade 2 should be a twin

Interested in pursuing career at WSP

The original towers were built to withstand multiple strikes by 747 explain to me how it fell at free fall rate in less than 20 minutes

Some people actually don’t even know this tower exists

should have rebuilt the same two in style but stronger

best to begin building a sea wall around manhattan..

So happy 2 WTC is back to it’s original design

Berlin was rebuilt , an entire City. In fact the Germans rebuilt their entire Nation. What’s this story about??

I really hate that you can’t go on top of the building like the old ones

It brings back a building, but it cant bring back the atmosphere of 70s, 80s America…

Someone said it looks like a raised globalists arm flipping off everything West.

They need to get the whole complex finished

We got em

Is it demolition proof?

Implode that eyesore make the twin towers site a memorial for those who died from a controlled demolition because of greed!

this new tower is meh….. it would have been amazing if they would have rebuilt the towers exactly as they where

This makes me think of how japan reconstructed after that bomb…. you would think nothing never happened if it wasn’t for history.

The original wtc 2 tower completed the site. The step tower is not the wayto go.

The stress behind the two towers reduced to one.Simple.

The new one world trade center is a beautiful piece of architecture and hope and pride and strength of America 🇺🇸 🇺🇲❤❤ God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏

One is the loneliest number.

I wonder if the government will bring this down to?

Looks really good on the outside but those open floor plans office spaces are dreadful in practice

One world trade centre: Mum, dad, I hope you are proud of me…

Tah na cara que foi esses porras tmb que contribuiu pra derrubar as antigas torres e matar tantas vítimas como um Mega Sacrifício ccrtz

The Twin Towers Were The True Icons. The New Tower Just Looks Like Another Building.

Rebuilding the twins exactly as they were would have been a bigger fuc# Yo* to the people that took it down.

Oh my god is that Last Leaf Falls playing in the background-

My question is though with the new One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) do people that work there get 9/11 off? Cause if I work on floor 88 I’m not coming to work that day 🤦🏾‍♀️ sorry had to ask

Tradegy to triumph, hell yea!!!!

In case of a repeat not trying to be a comedian but they should put parachutes in the buildings

Last week I walked out of the metro, and saw a cloud right in front of the skyscraper and almost had an hearth attack

The thing is it ain’t an icon. Some people don’t even know what it’s called

i want the old towers

It’s very beautiful, but nothing can replace the original WTC.

A big tower “inspires love” – come on now, thats going a bit too far don’t you think??.

We need the second WTC!

The Twin towers remind me of Dusty Depot

Love!

Why do people dislike the building? They wanted and expected something built there, why have a late reaction?

It’ll be attacked again; hope they installed parachutes

WTC7 fell just like a demolition

New sibling of old twins comes to the world

I find this new tower, looks a lot like other ones from around the world! I agree 100% the twin towers were the iconic ones! In my opinion as much as it would hurt and bad memories of what happened, it would have been better to build twin towers again, but looking completely different than the old ones, two of the same one built already, instead of 1 alone! This would be my opinion, based on the fact that there was 2 before. Only 1 for me does not do it at all, this is not iconic in any way!

yeah ok, but can you build WTC 2, it’s only been 18 YEARS

I hate the other WTC that look like toys or furniture

Visually, world trade 1 is not very impressive looking, ESPECIALLY next to that insanely crafted memorial and skeleton station. As far as sky scrapers in NYC go my favorite looking one was the Chrysler Building

Is it me or did YouTube scrub nearly all 9/11 conspiracy theory videos? Lol

I like the old buildings better

I think the OWTC is very looks uninspired, rushed and generic. The Original were brutal looking initially, but complemented each other greatly, looked wonderful at night with the lights and the details on them were immense and stunning. They should have rebuilt them (almost exactly the same) but slightly bigger and much stronger!

Looks weird only being “One”. NYC will never look the same without a twin. Seems like a literal half completed job.

it is funny to hear someone who says “as a newyorker” in my opinion they dont see themself as an American.

Good~

Kicked the British in the teeth by designing the building with its rod on top to represent the independence from Britain 1776 when some British people died on 911 why not just build to 911 feet.

It’s beautiful but will definitely not become an icon.

Hold on, if the new tower (with the spire removed) is the exact same height as the old towers (with the spire removed) then why the heck did they “need to make the geometry and design work”? Clearly the older design worked and an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers wanted the old towers to be rebuilt and to just make them a little bit taller. I’m not completely upset with the single new tower, but they could’ve and should’ve listen to the people of New York and given them what they want and not made this into a modern art piece rather than a practical/functional memorial and business center

Basically they needed to make a building that was impenetrable like the Titanic but better Titanic 2 of course this one won’t sink because its a building on land honestly I think the building should have turrets on it so then it could take out anything that goes near it then that’s a Fortress of Solitude

👉”my brother helpful to build this 👈. 🙏❤️👈 👉 I’m Ashu from Delhi India 🇮🇳❤️🙏 👉 How are you doing today, bro

Why They Are Not Rebuild The Twin Tower Again? And Build The Freedom Tower As a Building 8. I Think It’s Much More Beautiful.

I think you should build One Freedom Tower 2 like a twin tower such as World Trade Centre for a show Make America Great Again.

Adding a twin will just make people get flashbacks of what happened…. RIP to everyone who lost their life that day❤️

i like the design, but i don’t like the reflection and glass exterior thing. i guess it would be perfect if the exterior was made by steel, like the old towers was…

they should have built two or at least re built the original ones higher

Let Tony Stark build his tower !

9/11 left us a whole in our hearts not only in the USA but also the whole world. R. I. P. The fallen towers

Naming this building the “Freedom Tower” is an Orwellian mockery of the American people.

🤣😂absolutely not !!They destroyed the Icons !! This a very poor replacement 🤦🏼‍♂️

That stair step building looks like crap! I sure hope that’s not the design they end up going with.

After the united states got attacked on 911, the USA will never build in building taller than 1776, which is the height of the freedom tower.

They should of just rebuilt the last one but better bigger and FOUR !

New york city without the twin towers is not the same. As many people describe today’s new york [ actually, the new york since 2002 – today] as UNKNOWN PLACE.

Yeah I’m not going in that building for obvious reasons.

Its a nice tower.but the twins were much prettier.I wish the port authority or whoever was involved should have built the towers the same but taller

TWIN TOWERS IS BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL I JUST WISH THEY BUILD THEM STRONGER BETTER BACK THEN MAYBE STILL BE THERE RIGHT NOW

What did they do with the mall in the bottom of the towers?

Two world trade center is the main companion, but they haven’t built it yet. This project is still not complete. They built 1, 3, & 4, but skipped 2. They should’ve built 1 & 2 first. One WTC looks about 1/3 as massive on the skline as the original twins. Kind of sad.

Building should have been 2001 feet, without that stupid tower on top of it. They blew it.

Took down the duality for singularity. Ingore the fact the skies are never deep blue people, yes of course the skies are suppose to be full of chemtrailed clouds. Will they be taking this down in the same time span they gave the twins.

NY looks like a city somewhere in Dubai or China

Should build the towers again, exactly the same but much stronger.

its another glass box that’s boring to me … every single building in every other city in the world looks like this!

I find it heart warming that they respectfully didn’t build the new building over the area of the two originals. Exact dimensions and places of the originals were turned into a memorial areas so people could see and even touch where the original North and South tower were and feel like somehow they were still there.

Anyone else watching this for a management class?

People are saying the the new one is bad but I think it kinds looks cool. I do miss the old ones though

Think about how much more money comes into the city with everything building around it, oculus, memorial museum etc, is 9/11 never happened would it be the same?

original steel buildings get hit by planes which leads them to collapse, makes next one out of glass 10/10 (Edit: This is a joke, I know the actual building is made out of steel and concrete and is perfectly safe, however, the building looks as if it’s made out of glass)

When did this go up?

TALL buildings like these or even smaller buildings than the Towers Should never be allowed to be built Anywhere on earth. They are hideous looking and death traps.

Where is the need to build structures so high that people cannot be rescued during an emergency. It is nothing more than ego.

Wtc now stands as one

Meh! Not at all as unique and elegant as the twin towers.

Two WTC should look exactly the same minues the antenna.

One world trade center is a good looking build; but I don’t think I would ever want to work there or visit that place.

Codes matching ‘Commercial’ Ideas? lol that makes sense. So what changed? They still used steel and concrete , products that have already failed – 3 times!! I believe Saudi passports are flame proof?

So let me get this straight… instead of 2 building we get 1… and the new building is not higher than the last and also it’s cut down to make it smaller… ok then.

almost 2020 and 85% of the people on long island think it was an inside job. wake up people.

A building should’ve been constructed to show as much hubris as possible! America should assert itself as the worlds most powerful nation by rebuilding the twin towers, but bigger and stronger than last time.

(Trigger alert for PTSD – details of 9/11) If you were there that fateful day, having this building receive a twin could bring up some terrible memories for those who suffered that trauma. Having people just say ‘twin towers’ again could cause HUGE emotional triggers in people who lost their loved ones in the originals, or even people who were IN the towers and escaped before they fell. You cant make an exact copy of someones horrific experience. You guys may like and miss the iconic image of two towers, BUT for those who WERE in or near the building, who ran through the streets and were engulfed in ash and dust, who watch their first responders, firefighters, EMT’s, police, medics and heroes get crushed on their way up the towers when they fell, who heard the ear splitting impact of the glass covered areas by those who chose to jump instead of being burned alive, who ran in the streets avoiding literal bits and parts of their coworkers, hearing the screams of innocent workers as they ran from the building covered in flames, of those who were the first responders who had to see the worst and most gory aspects of what had just happened and yet still save lives and yet keep their sanity to push ahead and later spend months doing recovery instead of saving lives, those firefighters spending sleepless days and nights trying in vain to find the locations of their fellow brothers PASS system alarms that screeched into the eerie silence of it all for days until the batteries just ran out, of those who spent MONTHS waiting to hear that their loved ones had been found in the wreckage, who looked on at the twisted pieces of iron and papers strewn about and felt their hearts die inside that anything like that could ever have happened, THOSE people would most likely not appreciate everyone demanding an exact copy of their past brought back up and permanently placed in their home city. THAT shit doesn’t leave you. I almost killed myself in a car rollover going 60mph when I was 18, came out unscathed but was 10ft from a pole and 15ft from a ravine. I should have died that day in pieces in a tree, or caught in a live wire. Just going off the side of the road or suddenly hitting gravel with the tires STILL hits back me into that day and gets my mind on high alert, even 7 years later. Shit like that doesn’t leave you. think about what they went through before you demand a remake. Some of us weren’t even old enough to remember the incident (I was five at the time in Colorado and still remember it on TV) and yet want to have an opinion about it.

Be an interesting video without all the damn drama.

so was the last one until a plane hit it

that lady does not care what happened, believes that this can close the wound open 9/11, is a hypocrite and only does it for money

Watched the video of the building collapsing and tell me it doesn’t look like control demolition? Jet fuel metling steel beam my ass

Steel doesn’t burn

Built hastily over the human remains from 9/11, some of which were used to fill pot holes in New York streets.

But why only build one??? They should have made 2

Hope the government doesnt blow this one up too

Should have built two of them

imagine if they made it twice the height of the world trade centers

its all about the cost,if the USA could have funded it there would be freedom towers 1 and 2

they shouldn’t have flown planes into them just coz it was cheaper than deconstruction

I hate how they describe it as humble. The twin towers were a show of might and American pride. Their replacement should have been the same thing. Not a humble replacement, but a giant middle finger to those that brought down the original buildings.

Concrete at 14000PSI Stonger than rock🤔🙂😎Code To FUTURE Proofed the building ♥

The idea that spending money and re-building something on that site could ever take away from the emptiness left by their absence is a reflection of modern thinking’s fundamental flaw. That money and wealth really symbolize anything or that you can re-write history instead of creating something entirely new in itself. To me, the spot looks just as empty as before, if not emptier, because nothing could have ever gone in that spot that would symbolize anything but repeating an error in American thought. It shows we learned nothing from that day.

Obviously nothing could replace the twin towers, but maybe they shouldn’t be. They should remain as those distinctive figures in history. This new building is beautiful and was an amazing achievement by everyone involved. Long live NYC ❤️

The question is will this building survive the bombing? History shall repeat itself. We are living in end times.

It’s not rebuilt yet. 2 WTC is a major part that’s missing.

the original will always be better… I miss the original WTC so much..

I honestly don’t like the design. I know the twin towers were simple and some considered them “boring”, but they really were iconic. Maybe that nostalgia talking but I can’t help it. I would have rebuilt them exactly as they were as a big fuck you too those that wanted them gone. Plus the name freedom tower seems like a sad joke.

Should of put that money into a peruper investigation.

I wouldnt want to ever be in that building, especially when America didnt learn its lesson and continues mass murdering islamic children. Only a matter of time until it happens again.

Something about it just lacks conviction. To me it represents confusion about what to do post 9/11. Its ambiguous shape and window-less concrete base abruptly changing to glass. It’s a great feat like all super tall skyscrapers, but something is off.

The freedom tower has a beautiful design, but it looks a bit too glass, there should have been a twin, and it should have had 111 stories

“Geometry” yeah ok! You mean Masonic triangles! You should have designed an eye 👁 on each side of the building like you have mosaics in the subway right near the ground zero

As a native New Yorker, I feel it’s a wonderful story of resilience. However, I will not likely ever visit the Freedom Tower. For some, it takes a generation to forget and/or feel any amount of comfort with even our ability to recover. When I hear speak of how strong the Freedom Tower is, I just can’t get to a level of comfort. I’m not saying it isn’t strong. But, I feel that cost and the limits of physics and architecture just aren’t going to make a passenger plane bounce off of it, regardless. I almost worked within sight of the Freedom Tower and I almost worked at Hudson Yards. I’m grateful that neither worked out. Sorry.

Ok Ok. The big question here is. If someone slames a plane into it? Is it going to come down? Thats the only question on my mind because sometime in the future someone may get the idea of crashing a plane into it. And i for one dont want to see it fall like the towers did!

Why didn’t they build two new towers exactly like they used to be? Those twin towers were so beautiful and rebuilding them exactly the same would have been the best thing to do to honor the dead in 9-11-2001.

Wtc 2 design should be change..

The only way to rebuild better is by making sure no more evil exists on this planet or there will just be the risk of the same type of thing happening again.

America came back with a 1776 ft tall middle finger of freedom !

So do you guys think will ever see another 9/11 someday because I feel like we will at some point again but with this One World Trade Center 😢

The fear tower

I can see it from Union beach nj

They need another

It’s not the same period .

Should be called new world order 1 . I seriously don’t know what any of these ppl were thinking 🤔. This building is not that nice looking . It completely ruins New York’s skyline . It looks completely out of place .

The finalized Two World Trade Center is honestly a mockery. The fact that it looks like a falling stack of boxes adds insult to injury. Maybe they’ll surprise us all and 2 WTC will be just like 1 WTC (“Freedom Tower”)..

It’s more beautiful than Burj Khalifa. Because it’d our american baby ❤

nice for Dubai nice for Berlin the building could be anywhere. But nothing can replace the twin towers for New York.

very creepy how fast they put up the building. plain looking but so were the towers.

The illuminati building

Am I the only one that thinks this tower is better than the old ones? By almost every objective metric it’s better. Better materials, better design, safer, taller with the antenna, etc… I have the same nostalgia as everyone else, but I think that’s all it is… nostalgia.

I hope the bush family was made to pay for new building as everyone knows bush did 9/11

Yo pienso como otras personas.divieron Aser 2 torres gemelas.x q a la verdad q las 2 torres q estaban simbolizaban A New York.en el mundo entero.

…so we ended up with only one tower that kinda looks bad cause it tapers as it nears the top. Makes it look like we tried to save money on those top floors. And place a Saudi headdress (agal) on top. God damn guys.

Well they didn’t listen most people wanted twin buildings most New Yorkers hate the replacement building

This thing is an abomination! It’s wrong, N.Y. needs those twin towers back!

They didnt rebuild They replaced

I think the one world is a memorial to the victims that lost their lives. A building where you can see the reflection of the sky above, and where we feel more closer to the ones that lost their lives. I think it is so imortant for that area to be beautiful, not messy, peaceful looking, and where you can remember but also think about the future. When i went there in 2014, well i felt it needed a park beside the two memorials, in which the busy street wouldnt be seen, and you could sit down and breath. I hope that there is more greenery there one day. Flowers and such, and not just all balt.

Not icon! Eye sore! And unfortunately we lost when they put that!

Reasonable and address the issue

Should’ve rebuilt them exactly as they were. This ones nice and all but doesn’t belong there. Looks like it would fit in better somewhere in Europe.

🏊‍♂️

Where’s the other tower?

They bragging for 8 minutes about how people love it. Lol no! You should have rebuilt a pair of twins! That’s what everyone wanted !

The World Trade Centre was breath-taking when seen as designed, absolute waterfront. These monuments should have been replaced as the monument to Sept 11, but higher with a concrete core. That is freedom. The foot-prints are there, put them back. The so called “Freedom Tower” should be called the “Defeated Tower”. Sydney would rebuild the Opera House. France would rebuild the Eiffel Tower. India would rebuild the Taj Mahal. England would rebuild Big Ben. Stare terrorists in the face. On September 11 we all saw their weapons of mass destruction, a box cutter. On September 12 they should have seen the west’s weapon of mass destruction. Just one. Sorry Tehran…. boom. The world would have applauded, and it would be now a truly peaceful place.

a building of sin. Built on a pack of lies.

It’s ugly for New York. Looks like something that belongs in London. While I wish the Twins were rebuilt. I understand that many people are weak and can’t face that past, but why not have gone way back to the golden age, and build another tower as magnificent as the Empire or Chrysler buildings….

They should have made an exact replica of the original twin towers, more stronger, more powerful, as a befitting reply to the terrorists..

Can this withstand airlines hit,that’s the Question workers asking?

I hated One World after it was done, i wanted the old twin again but as time passed i realized had the twin returned i really would not feel good about it nor would i be able to accept it as old twin replacement. We needed something different standing there i just didn’t fully realise it till a couple years ago.

one world trade center for their one world government

This idiots are praising themselves. Stay humble. The entire message is how impossible and difficult it was and how they accomplish this. Is a beautiful building. Nice building. Awesome. But I would’ve loved to see a twin tower instead of one big one. And I praise the lower workers. The construction worker. Truck driver. ❤

I dont like the replacements, it looks like nothing

It’s a pyramid lol It’s 666’s house

The building should’ve commemorated people who died at the site during 9/11 attacks… E.g. on every window panel they could’ve etched the name of a victim – I’m sure that building has 2000+ window panels.

Sad! The old buildings looked better!

Building 2 new design is still stupid af … why tf did it change from the original one

why couldnt they building it taller… its great that the built something as similar to the old WTC but they should have made it at least 110-118 floors…

People who survived the horros of 9/ll dont want to be looking at the exact same thing they survived? Lets say you crash a plane would you be more wary of going on a plane?

They built the freedom tower, they should have built another one liberty

Engineering an Icon: Step 1. Destroy the previous 3, the third one being building number 7 which to this day MANY Americans don’t even know collapsed that day, in a state sponsored false flag terror attack. Following which over a million humans perished across 2 invasions.

I went to NYC in 2017 a day after 9/11, Anyways on my 4th day in NYC i took a uber ride down to one world trade center i didn’t go inside too scared i stood outside across the street looking wayyyyy up i got dizzy and i had a moment where i wanted to fall & cry because i thought of 9/11 2001. I do plan on going back to NYC in 2020 i will make it my plan to visit one world trade center going inside.

I’m Brazilian and I love the USA. I have a question. Why don’t makes the Twin Towers ?

I like it

I personally wish we could have put the original buildings back just as they were to send a message that we are not afraid.

I bet everyone is scared thinking that it will happened again

Is it plane proof? Not kidding.

Ugliest building known to man

I still wait for Justice, in a building of 40,000 then less than 4,000 died ??????

Of what? ?? An Icon? No Not even close. ONLY the Twin Towers were allowed to wear THAT status.

I find it funny how everyone were saying before 9/11 that Twin Towers are ugly and now after 9/11 they are almost not making songs about them.

Could be wrong, but wasnt the reason most people couldnt get out in the first place was because all the stairs and elevators were located in the cores of the two towers? And the planes both hit and damaged the cores. How is this design any different?

The grid iron corruption, politics, delays and cost over runs were just absurd. They could have replaced the WTC in less than 5 years but it dragged on nearly twice as long and the cost overruns were massive. Now that a lot of business and people are choosing to live in lower Manhattan makes up for all the cost over runs and politics. It’s a place of healing and rejuvenation for a lot of people now.

The real icons were destroyed in 2001. I like this building but it doesn’t even feel like it can represent NYC like the twin towers did or the Empire State Building.

What do they even do in there?

Wait so how does it change constantly? That wasn’t explained.

the current WTC2 design needs to be replaced, it literally looks like it’s falling over. it’s not necessarily worse than any other glass curtain building, it’s just inappropriate for the site. the original “four diamonds” design was much more appropriate and fitting in relation to the Freedom Tower.

Hey does this building set fire to NYC? Seems like the light reflexion is not a good idea. making everything very hot.

I don’t agree with people who say there should be a Twin. The landscape of NY was forever changed on 9/11. To build a twin would feel like going back, when what should be done is moving forward. On the other hand, there’s lots of survivors still living in NY with sever PTSD. How do you think they would feel seeing twin towers again on the same site where they lost so much? It would probably cause them great anguish to see new twin towers. I think a new design is needed, not a copy of the old one.

They failed in making any statement. I love the memorial aspects but don’t care at all for the new tower.

One for the world one site to Remember the people who Died

Thanks.

Yes. I have told them to have built few years back….

They should have rebuilt the original towers

This building is gorgeous ,i liked the old ones but i like this better, the old twins were so unique in terms of the construction method and design (which ultimately led to the building’s demise) but there is so mush thought that went into this in terms of the design aestetic,the shape,the chamfers…wow ..yes its all glass facade but thats keeping in trend with modern office building.

I like to think that the spire on top is Amarica’s middle finger to the cowards that caused 9/11.

Why didn’t they just make 2 new world trade centers

Why didn’t they rebuild the original towers and restore the skyline??? What better eff you to the terrorists than to erase the damage they did. This new building is a monument to what they did, that’s why nobody loves it.

A beautiful job more stronger than before bla bla, but where he’s brother something is missing Why the didn’t build twice of it whyyyyy???

Been there. You did a great job. But there shouldn’t be gift shops everywhere. All those people died and you’re making money off of their sacrifices.

Keep your lies Building seven

It looks like shit, such a disappointing building

But what if a plane crashes into this new WTC? Will it withstand the hit and the fire this time?

For everyone saying “thar shud b 2” are just blindly diving into the fact that there was to buildings b4 & they want 2 buildings again..it’s a memorial..A Memorial U don’t visit 2 memorials to remember 2 buildings that are related & collapse in the same day

You do realise the old towers were demolished?

What is inside One World Trade Center? Is there a list of companies?

The twins should have been rebuilt in my opinion.

So nice

Such a wonderful building Looks much better then the original towers.The original buildings where weak and kinda ugly.The new Freedom Tower building Is extremely strong it can outstanding Tsunami earthquakes explosions and planes.Excellent masterpiece.

what a terrible tragedy, so many lives lost, and secondly, also such a piece of beautiful engineery that the twin towers were. i visually prefer the old towers, wish i could’ve visited them

As above so below. Massive site of human sacrifice. 11…years. 2 become 1. Well, hello satanic alter.

It’s not about life it’s about building materials.

It’s not the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The ugly fruit basket on top of it makes it the “tallest”. The thing is a giant turd compared to the twins.

still twin tower or only one tower ??

I wish the twins woulda been rebuilt not only to show the world that America stands together , but to remind terrorists that were still here. To show that we’re not defeated and we won

There should be a parachute for every person in the building above 300ft.

Heißt der eine Herr wirklich Gottesdiener? Wie geil

RIP the twin towers

The Freedom Tower’s fine, but I want the original World Trade Center back, we all want the twins back. The twin towers which structural engineer Ken Gardner designed looks magnificent and phenomenon, if those twin towers were built, they will look much more beautiful and outstanding in person, and Lower Manhattan will get its skyline back, I’ll be able to visit there and enjoy the whole borough every moment of my life.

IIIIIIIII get it. They are slanted so when the next plane hits, this time people can slide all the way down.

Where’s my twin?

Did Osama Bin Laden organised the Attacks on the 9/11 ?

Miss You

They disturb the scene should be left as it was now they hide what happend there a lot to account for in the end

Twin towers were so ugly that some bloke flew a plane through it .

And architecture

Nyc goverment built tollest building in the world in future

Nyc goverment built tollest building in the world in future

Personally, I think they should rebuild the twin towers. They say “There’s not enough room” UM, NEAR THAT STREET, NEXT TO THE NORTH TOWER, RIGHT IN THE SPOT NEXT TO WHERE THOSE SOLAR PANELS ARE. Plus, why waste space by making fountains with the foundation? They should build the twin towers, the same architecture, back on the foundation, and have the memorial IN THE LOBBY, or at least what they can do is have the names on the foundation, but where the water is, that’s where they build the tower. What I mean is build the buildings on the inner side of the walls of the foundation itself. But another idea is to have the names carved into the elevator doors, the walls, something. Otherwise, you are wasting space. They were originally planning to rebuild the twin towers, but they were like “Instead of building 2 gigantic buildings with a few low-rise buildings, let’s build a bunch of crummy 80-floor buildings! Come on, the architect of the twin towers didn’t die for this. The VERY LEAST they can do is build a second freedom tower. Where the foundation is for the other building (I think for the 2 world trade center) That is where you can build a second freedom tower. I saw some of the designs people were planning for it, and one of them looks like a bunch of cartoon boxes. I never got to see the twin towers in person. I REALLY wish I could. Seeing pictures just isn’t the same.

I Liked the Idea of This , But Now I Feel THIS Is Disrespectful !? Too tell our Children that There was 2 Beautiful Identical Buildings , Admired for about 30 YEARS (Thought too Stand like 1000 yrs) And after Many Lives , too Just Have THIS ?!! Pretty fucked up ? But what THE HELL do I KNOW X (

After the 2 pillars destroyed..This looks like a modern pyramid to me..where is the 👁? Haha..i mean a CCTV on top😅

I honestly don’t find it that attractive.

So much hate on this tower

It’s hideous

I do not like the design! Its great design and state of the art on side,but its dull and boring. The original “twin towers” are eternal and irreplaceable. The new buildings will never be as iconic and awe inspiring as the originals. Why is it that the terrorist repeatedly attempted to attack the towers? Its because their image against the skyline was so powerful and iconic. This new building is a poor replacement that inspires yawns not smiles.

This one world trade center I hope is much stronger

Please. fix. the. spire.

It’s the last 5 days of 2020 who’s watching now

Baah. Nothing close to the majestic originals.

Just another thoroughly boring glass pile of which there are now thousands around the world. America used to set the architectural tone for the modern world. Now every city just wants to be “little Dubai.” What with the ghastly temple to American consumerism by famed Iberian con-man Santiago Calatrava, NYC is now home to the world’s greatest monument to 21st Century gilded age putresence.

Why didn’t they just rebuild the two towers

Am I the only one who dislikes the looks of Two World Trade Center? Honestly they should just build another Freedom Tower and call it the Twin Towers 2. But other than that, I’d rather just have this one tower alone rather than have some weird stack of boxes next to this tower.

These buildings like the twin tower and this one is not ment to withstand planes and fires

Is it safe?

Sickening propaganda nonsense

The sight of it will be ruined tho. They keep building ugly ass glass boxes around it. SMH

The old twin towers need rebuilding in the next 20 years or so.

I was discussed when the rebuild happened….it was not taller just ordinary….

They make it sound as if Jet Fuel really collapsed the previous towers. GTFOH, we all know it was professionally imploded.

Hmmm.. maybe dont plant explosives on the beams and the tower might survive?? 🤔🤔🤔

Hey is no one going to chat about the 2 world trade center or the one looks like a stair case

One World Trade Center is beaultiful!

They shouldn’t have rebuilt. Who would want to go back into a building that had planes smashed into them? Not me! It also has a boring feel to it or something. Where is the twin?

Why do people want 2? It would’ve raised taxes for everyone to pay so that they could build the second one.

I think they should have turned the whole foundation into a park. Making a new building on top of it just doesn’t feel right.

I prefer if this will be triplets. Not a single tower, not even a twin. I want 3 of these!!!

Icon…? It is boring, plain and ho-hum as it gets. “Icon” is such an overused word. In NY the Chrysler Building and the ESB are icons.

Miss two of them but I’m happy.

They should have built 2 of those

Where is WTC 5 and 6!!

Salute to human willpower And Slap to terrorism and it’s sick praisers

is there any summery? am tired of this listenning comprehension

Srry but the cn tower is taller so theirfore this building is not the tallest in the western hemisphere

I wonder what it would look like with a twin

Ugh, a marketing video. Piss off. No antenna cladding. No prismatic glass, no chamfered base, no restaurant. As for building three? No cross bracing, no spires. And no building two. This is your “pride”

Who’s idea was it not to rebuild the twin towers as they were, yet safer and more sophisicated? That would have really restored the spirit of New York…SMH

Wasn’t that design ripped from a Korean student designing this in 1999 as a project?. Copyright? Patent violation? Even so, I don’t think it looks like a “New York thing”. But who am I to judge I guess.. Well great day everyone ✌️

Old twins were far better than this new one. Old twins were flat, smart and cool. This new wtc looks like buildings in Dubai

It is more smaller than the twin towers

such a beautiful tower paid with 3000 life’s people

Yawn, the talking the music

The towers insurance scam was bad enought. The unrealistic scenario our government wants to give us, unconditionally, is physically, and chemically impossible. Educated people cannot tolerate it.

Driven by people

Everything about this building is off. It it not trend setting in any way, it has no grandeur, it shows nothing of why it was built. It is a complete miss.

Anyone who says that there needs to be a second tower is an idiot. This building was literally designed to be the embodiment of both towers.

bush did it

Why add that ridiculous spike to the top? It doesnt count to the height. It looks like they just gave up construction before the end, chopped off the top.

This new One World Trade Center is literally like only 40 feet taller than the Willis Tower. I am mad. If they are making a skyscraper, to symbolize freedom, don’t make it 40 feet taller than a former Sears owned Skyscraper.

Too bad Word Trade 2 design looks like shit, I’m sorry…and gonna make the skyline worse looking than it was for 50 years.

They should.habe rebuilt the towers

They brag about the concrete floor and steel core ugh it was the same with the original ones you blew up

Not rebuilding the originals only stronger and modern was thee dumbest and insensitive idea!!!

Cool looking building, but those rings on the top are so freaking ugly

Not an icon

That’s exaggeration. Same design building we can see in South Korea and Israel. It’s already outdated crap. That’s nothing new. Old twins were full of uniqueness.

One World Trade Center is a pretty building but nothing like the Twin Towers. There should be new, bigger and indestructible Twin Towers beside it. Then 1WTC could represent our recovery and freedom.

Song?

This one wtc is a real phony

forgettable

waste of space,,,,, there where much better proposals the city has to stop other builders from going higher,,,

It’s awful.

The old ones were ugly basic commercial looking buildings. This one is better and geometrically designed to deflect aerial objects

Good luck

SO it will take a few more planes next time ?

🤢🤮🤮

Looks like any other skyscraper with its blueish glass facade.. Nothing special..

Twinsy!

I’m glad they built it as fast as they did. It’s a source of inspiration and healing, but also defiance to the evil people that applauded the destruction of the twin towers. Say what you want about New York, but they won’t be beaten down.

Building Sucks!! The Twins were the Best! To bad we Blew them up!!

The tower is beautiful, but where is the twin

This building sucks. End of story. Patting ourselves at the back for such a sucky job done for such an important task… is simply delusional and disgusting. The 911 museum is wonderful though.

did they again include a self-destruct-button? 🧐🆒

Let’s hope ISIS won’t care about these.

You know that 432 park avenue is taller if you don’t count the spire on the Freedom Tower. Nice. Billionaires over freedom.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the new trade center? I want the old ones back.

I’m sorry but it doesn’t look very attractive

They should have built the same two twin towers 🙁

Please replace the original twin towers!

The twin towers are far more impressive. The OWTC is less impressive, the design is less attractive compare to other supertalls around the world. They should incorporate some design fr d old twin tower, “american classic design” the antenna at top looks in appropriate it didnt incorporate to d design of d modern building… unlike for example the antena of empire state ang sears tower added more asthetic beauty to the buildings😁 for me its a lame design, if its not for its majestic height? It look so ordinary.. btw its just my opinion😁😁😁

101 people know that it was an inside job…

I never knew that they also make propaganda videos in the US.

I hate the new one. Just another horrid pointy glass thing. The old twins were one of my favourite buildings in the world. Even now I hate it when the towers appear on TV..

How come they didn’t built two of them

Should have re-built not replaced. Down voted

Wow, tough crowd! Everybody knows the twin towers are irreplaceable. Irreplaceable. Rebuilding them wasn’t/isn’t really an option if you consider the optics. They would carry too much pain now. Admit it. We would never see them the same way. I think rebuilding the twins would be insensitive and arrogant. Even more, it would be creepy to see those in the skyline again, considering all the pain and fear associated with them on that day. Besides, I think OWTC is a very beautiful middle finger for those responsible.

They can blabber away all they want…. this building doesn’t come even come close!

I’ve read so many comments on Facebook that some New Yorkers wanted the twin towers built back where they once stood

Why were the old buildings so vulnerable .. because America had a lot of enemies .. and nothing has changed .. it actually seems like they continue to become more unpopular as time passes

I’m just here to say this isn’t that tallest building in the country.

It’s like losing Megan Fox and replacing her with Maggie Gyllenhaal.

It’s not new yorks style, where is the neo ghotic?

Careful Ben laden is still alive !

We still have some planes and don’t try to make any stupid moves.

This building just proves one thing….The terrorist won. The original towers should have been built back stronger and taller just like President DJT wanted to in 2005.

Twin towers 2

Печально… Сначала правительство уничтожило те две башни, а теперь с наигранной печалью на лице возводит мемориал в честь тех, кого само убило…

World Trade memorial= well done World Trade 1= meh

Can this one survive demolition charges? This is wasted video, it doesn’t talk anything about the technology it has and how it was built.

its just not the same.

Should of built a twin guys to let them know we still stand strong

people, there is no space to build another tower ffs lol

All an insurance fraud

where is the other tower????

It’s so ugly

Did they put some Parachute in the building 😕 But I don’t know if people who jumped from the top can have the time to open a Parachute 🤔

Wtf should there be two? Let’s move on from the past folks

Using a spire to count towards the total height is such a cop out. Sears Tower in Chicago is still taller, check the roof line.

Icon or not it’s ugly as!

I know that it will most likely get hit by planes again. But they made some very good decisions. They thicken the concerts more than they had to. Props to all the people that helped and worked on the building. It just shows that when 9/11 happened, it did not make us weaker, it united us better than we ever imagined. RIP to all that died that day.

It’s a shame that our government had to take them down in the first place to start a war

It is a monument to mass murder, a false flag operation perpetrated at the uppermost levels of the military industrial complex.

They should build the twin towers Again and should be call the 3 World Trade Center

If they would look at these comments, they would see that we want our twins back, why would u choose this lame one wtc, GIVE US. OUR TWINS

Very ugly

A new set of twins would be a slap on the face of “TERRORISM” and a motivation for New Yorkers.

The Willis (Sears) tower in Chicago is much taller than this building but because of the 350 ft Antenna on world trade they say it’s bigger. What a joke.

No they shouldn’t have built …just burie what happened…should keep the memories for both building…

Let me be blunt. Sorry if this hurts anyone’s feelings or brings bad bad memories. But I have to ask!… if someone decides to slam a plane say an Airbus 360 into this building is it going to stay up? Or are we going to see another monumental collapse on live tv?

One just looks like less.

It is kind of ugly.

David childs..

It took way too long and the top floors of the building a a sham. They should have some better.

Sorry, it sucks.

It’ll be horrible if it get hits again

They should have build two buildings not just one don’t like that

Building just one tower was idiotic. The world is still laughing at that blunder.

It’s ugly. Every time I see it is ugly

the new wtc looks stupid. they should have rebuild the same twin towers back

make it

1WTC is a disgrace.

FAIL – the Freedom Tower looks like shit. This does not look like a building that belongs in NYC. It would be more at home in Singapore or South Korea.

its just covered in glass,could hve been done in 2 years. ugly

They should have built a twin but higher saying that the new world trade looks awsome right next to the memorial pools as well as the museum fitting tribute to all the people lost on that terrible day

I think they should rebuild the World Trade Center the Twin Towers exactly the way they were before 9/11 I think that would have stood the test of time. At the buildings that the terrorists tried to destroy return to this earth tall and looked mightier than ever

Sorry but this isn’t an icon.

they shouldve just rebuild them, just to let the terrorists know that they cant change America. America keeps coming back.

This building is leagues better than the old World Trade Center
