Well said. These new Towers could never replace the originals for sure. They are new buildings that's it. One WTC is the marker for downtown but it can't replace the originals. No one here asked for 9/11 to happen. I still wish it never happened. What we had before was fine the way it was. This Tower sure is looking great though. Even though the base is a concrete fortress the glass makes it look absolutely stunning. The mast isn't too bad, it's better than nothing. I'm sure the PA will pay off the CTBUH with our toll money to make this building 1,776 feet. Durst and the PA should have never got involved with changing the design. It was necessary for the NYPD to show concern for truck bombs at the base but everything else should have been left alone.
