Pretty.... unfortunately you can't see many episodes of "Friends" without being reminded about this as well.

This reminds me of when I was at Burger King about 10 days ago. I and my brother we were sitting and we saw this big picture on the wall (5x2 meters).

And on the picture there was NYC at night and we talked about how high those two buildings was (the WTC towers of course) and said how puny the other building around them looked. Then we thought that those buildings around were way higher that any sliver we have in this country. I think that BK have taken the pic down now.

Look at it this way, soon there will be a monument there that celebrates the life of those people that died, stands as a reminder that this should never happen again and above all shows that in the face of adversity people are willing to give so much to help those in need.

The world trade centre may be destroyed but whatever is built in its place can only be more splendid and meaningful.

[Xelion]

The WTC is getting rebuilt in the same area I think though it will look different outside and inside.

Sort of on topic...anyone have any good US-flag themed wallpapers? A big, wavy flag, or a flag & eagle, or something like that. Google has not been very kind to me in this.   Anyone have anything good?

I have heard a rumour that one of the towers of the WTC wasn't insured.

YIKES!!!

How long do you guys think it will take to clear up? A year? Two?

  *sniff* I don't even have any sentiment for the towers. But still... boy, the loss of life.

And is just that.  A rumor.

no, its true...
The owners of World Trade Plaza were _SO_ sure that both towers would never topple together, meaning that the insurance policy only covered one of the towers at any one time...

I hope the towers aren't rebuilt...  its the equivalent of raising the Titanic...

I don't know anything about the insurance but the individual who currently holds the lease for that property had JUST acquired it earlier this year for 3.2 billion dollars, how ironic is that?
He has, however, made a personal committment that the towers will be rebuilt. It really is the only sensible thing. The memorial for the Oklahoma city bombing was one thing, the property was owned by the government already, but do you really think someone who just dropped 3.2 billion dollars on a ONE HUNDRED year lease is going to let it sit there with a memorial on it? Hell no! Of course he's going to rebuild it, insurance or not, because without a building on it it isn't going to make any money to pay the mortgage on that humongous freaking loan.

Do they really need to? I have a horrible feeling its just wasting money by mending a damaged pride. They could just as easily build a new buisness park outside NY or something, it'd do the same job just as well.
