Daniel Libeskind's Deathpit Lunacy: Buildings with 70 habitable floors "at most," a patently useless greenhouse sliver lean-to, topped by a spire not much taller than the 1,728 foot communications tower atop the old 1 WTC. This flimsy sliver is only adding insult to injury. Libeskind's 1,776 foot pole is only good for raising a white flag, for pointing out: "Look what Osama has done. See how we never recovered."
Any serious proposal for the new WTC MUST include two Towers of at least 110 habitable floors and 1,368 feet to roofline each, no matter what goes alongside them. The new Towers must not be less breathtakingly bulky than the old ones. Libeskind can put his 1,776 foot spire atop such new Twin Towers.
Towers in every dimension at least as tall and grand as the Twin Towers are a must for the new WTC. Not just a flimsy "skyline element," but real buildings, habitable all the way to the top. We cannot replace the Eighth Wonder of the Modern World with something less. That would be a crime against civilization and progress. It would discourage any aspiration a human being may have.
We shall not have Libeskind's Lunacy! Get involved and support building a new WTC of dignified, super-tall office Towers! Not Libeskind's greenhouse sliver!
