"Al Qaeda set out to mutilate our skyline. They succeeded. New York could have rebuilt new, modern Twin Towers after 9/11. And we could have done it quickly. But we did not. We spent more than a decade and $4 billion building a tower that could fit on any generic skyline."
I miss the old skyline of Manhattan with those increible and imposing Twin Towers. The new, One World Trade Center tower does nothing for me. I wish we would have rebuilt those towers. Donald Trump proposed this in 2005, but politicians ignored him.
Which skyline do you prefer?
