Rebuilding the WTC

I saw this posted on another message board. I thought we all could use a laugh. "Personally, I'd like to see three towers built in their place, with the middle one much taller than the other two. that way, it would look like a giant middle finger, directed straight at the fu**ers who did this."

Not bad at all. Heard on the news last night that only one of the towers was insured. Is this true? How will the money be raised to rebuild it? Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

check out this picture: http://www.scripting.com/images/flippinTheWtc.jpg the link was sent by one of my American colleagues, I think it sums up just what he thinks of those f***ers

They should also build a swimming pool around it so that people can safely jump down.... (2b || !2b)

Unfortunately, with a fall from that height water may as well be asphalt. I suspect that, based on actions taken after past events of multiple deaths, that the area will most likely be made into a park with a memorial to those lost in the attack. Although I disagree with our tendency to put up a memorial for people lost in a tornado or hurricane (which has been done), I would support one to be built on the site of the WTC. This was a horrendous act of evil that must not be forgotten. WillCodeForMoney

Well actually my fathers is in the insurance business and said that acts of war or terrorism are not covered by most insurance companies. Thats gotta stink if it was the case on that policy. Joshua

Hello from Paris, American people is a PROUD people. So, I think that quickly, they will build something bigger. No memorial. No park. But a giant structure wich show to the world (and even those f***ers how done this appocalipse) that they are 1.the richest 2.the most powerfull 3.the bigest 4.the most c++ :confused: :confused: 5.... (ehrh, I think, there is something wrong in the 4., maybe ):-D regards Guy LECOMTE

Guy I think you are right. Keeping the site as a park or memorial is like saying 'yeah - you won, we lost'. Rebuilding bigger stronger towers makes a stronger statement. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Another question...would you work in the building if it was rebuilt? Tim

Hello from Paris, Well YES I WILL WORK in this kind of building, especially in the last levels (the panoramic view is fantastic). I have more chance to crash with my own car at the end of the day than become an angel due to terrorists plans ! statistics are there , you can't fight against MATH !:-D regards Gu LECOMTE

I saw one of the insurance company's CEO saying on TV, that they have set aside 400 million towards covering damages. This was the secind largest insurance company in the world. If others also follow suit, I think it would be great. I think that the insurance companies will also go out of the way to make life easier for the victims. -Thomas

I can see it happening where they install radars and rocket launchers on the roof of the new buildings... This also raises the question of the strength and integrity of the those buildings. I don't think anyone expected these to mega structures to crumble, even after being hit like that. I'm wondering if the building was just not as strong as it could have been. Anyone have an answer? Regards, Alvaro

Although there is a provision that covers it, I believe that most, if not all, insurance companies are going to cover this incident. To not cover their insurance would, in the minds of their clients, render them unacceptable as an insurer. I work with an insurance company, part time, and I've received no instruction telling me that these acts won't be covered.

You are probably right about that. I hadn't thought of the buildings in that light. I supported the continuing of major sports events and other activities that were cancelled for similar reasons. I thought that by displaying major recreational activities as continuing unaffected by the attack would have been a major message to the terrorists who seek to demoralize America. WillCodeForMoney

I doubt highly that that would be the case. Like Stan said, it is sitting on the most expensive real estate in the world. I would imagine a memorial park, or statue, etc, would be built somewhere on the original site, but the rest will be redeveloped. David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com

The problem was NOT the damage done by the aircraft impacting the building but by the intense heat generated by the burning jet fuel. Temp. was estimated to reach as high as 2000 degrees and the structural steel used in construction begins to become elastic at about 850 degrees. Once the steel begins deforming the weight of the building itself will bring it down. There was a small segment on either FOX or MSNBC where some engineers went over the cause of the collapse at a pretty good depth. There really is no way to build a tall building that can withstand the heat generated by such a fire.
