Just... wondering what the international reaction is from other Channel 9ers about Trumps recommendation to rebuild the trade center a few floors higher.

http://www.theage.com.au/news/World/Trump-calls-for-return-of-the-Twin-Towers/2005/05/19/1116361672971.html?oneclick=true

... Anyone? Buller? Buller?

<shameless plug>
And if you want to know what I think on the subject, feel free to punch up my blog link to the left.

Well, lets see

(I'm completely neutral, btw)

On one hand we have your soccer-mom stereotype people complaining that rebuilding it would be disrespectful to those who perished in the attack.

Then on the other we have those who want to prove that "Tourr'ists!" should be shown resiliance and "American Resolve" from the American camp, so it should be rebuilt to say "Look, we can rebuild"

TBH, I don't care what gets put up, someone will always complain.

....Just so long as it isn't drab concrete.

On a scale of 1 to 10, people are stupid.

I read the blog entry and I don't know if I agree with you or not, but: It doesn't take a lot of guts for a billionaire to speak his mind Smiley

In my generally stupid opinion, we should rebuild the twin towers in downtown Kabul, but that would probably be pushing our luck...

I actually agree with Trump on this one. The other plans looked like crap. Rebuilding twin towers would be exactly that.

But, I can't help to think about MP's swamp castle though... (the third time it caught on fire, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth time it stood!)

I couldn't read the whole of this thread because someone posting a Long Link(tm)

Reminds me of what my boss said on 9/11/2001:

"They should build them back just like they were, brick by f(ine) brick".

I liked this "alternate design":
