Awesome.<BR><BR>Build it short and the m!@#$%^&*()_s win.<BR>Build it tall, with whatever anti-attack stuff you need, and we demonstrate the American spirit.

Gee, I don't know about building the tallest building. Wouldn't it just be an automatic target? I know that I, personally, would *not* want to work there.

I personally think this "seventh" plan is pretty good but, I just wish these plans would consider putting in a museum/theatre to memorialize the people we lost on that day.

I agree with Tommy. Any plan needs to forever memorialize in name or photo those that were lost that day. The same should be done at the Pentagon, as well.<BR><BR>

Brad - email it to TV stations and newspapers.

What a perfect name, having the worlds tallest building there, a great design, a very appropiate memorial! I think all of America especially New Yorkers would embrace this.

The memorial is absolutely beautiful! The only thing I would add is a statue of a construction/trade worker for those that toiled there for so many months, day in and day out, some developing health problems because of it.

Build short the terrorists win.<BR>Build tall nobody will work there.<BR><BR>Solution: Build the world largest prison. Put all the criminals in there. You show the terrorists whose boss and if another plane hits it who cares?

Statia Jul 26th, 2002 01:06 PM

Solution:<BR><BR>That's a good one!

Put something very tall to restore our skyline! I'm not talking about office towers (people would probably be apprehensive now in a &gt;70-story bldg) - I'm talking about a structure like the Eiffel Tower, the Space Needle, etc. that will be visible from 50 miles away. The tower itself can be the memorial - the tallest memorial in the whole world. Better yet, build 2 of them.<BR><BR>
