People still work in the Empire State Building...
People still work in the Sears Tower...
The USA still has the space program after the Challenger and Columbia accidents...
People still invest in the stock markets after the crashes we've had...
Why do people say don't rebuild the Twin Towers?

"REBUILD THE TOWERS"
if that link does not work then try this one:
"Bankers won't finance the tower's broadcast antenna because the engineering design for the top of the building is unproven."
"Since Ground Zero is still an empty pit, New York retains the option to rebuild our towers."
"Pataki can erase the futility of Albany's past three years. He can hold a press conference downtown to say: New York is scrapping the Freedom Tower.
Pataki can turn back the emerging legacy of defeatism and hopelessness downtown. He can tell New Yorkers we're rebuilding the Twin Towers in the space that's been reserved for them since 9/11."

"Freedom Tower Politics"
Excerpt from the article: "To all of you who have been wondering, "Is it too late to scuttle the freedom tower and rebuild the twin towers?" the answer is clearly "No." "
Twin Towers Again comment: "It appears now that someone big in the media is picking on Libeskind, LMDC, Pataki and Co. that more and more people are coming out of the woodwork to voice their pro-TwinTowers-rebuild opinions. It seems as if the smell of "snow ball effect" is in the air."
Twin Towers Again comment: "Most people don't want the Libeskind design." "Most people want the Twin Towers rebuilt."
Twin Towers Again comment: "Governor Pataki, the LMDC and others who are in power...are on the wrong side of this issue."
The majority want the Twin Towers rebuilt.
