I think whoever thought that up should be fired.

Donald Trump has it right. Just build the towers again except one floor taller. No need for this mess.

The Memorial Museum is due to be opened in 2009, and the Freedom Tower - destined to become the world's tallest building - is set to be finished in 2013, after construction workers finally broke ground in March of this year.

Kind of not really. It'll go up eventually once all the BS dies down. The issue is more about the memorial being underground than anything else.

I thought one of the issues was about it costing $900M to build.

That's part of it but the main reason the families are creating a stink is because of the location.

will they still have that nifty elevator system?

how much of the site will be used for memorial?

details on the link are lacking

I kinda liked the 2 lights there honestly

I thought it was a classy way to memorialize the buildings and people who died there.

But, I realize it's prime real estate, so..

I'm pretty sure you'll be seeing the towers of light for years to come the way construction, etc. are going

. There is a big Alex Jones conference in town this weekend, though, so maybe they'll be hijacked to beam a prisonplanet.com graphic into the sky for this year's anniversary.

Looks like something out of iRobot. I don't think we should try to build it "modern" as much as we should build it great. I think a more classical look would do it justice... which is why I liked Trump's idea.

Not a fan.

Looks too showy and obvious. I think we can do better.
