Why Have the Twin Towers Not Been Rebuilt?

But there were two towers with each hit by one jet, so it sort of cancels out.

Otara

Among other issues, there was a long court battle over the issue of whether what happened on September 11 was an attack or attacks. It was a major issue - the insurance policy had a cap payoff per incident. So was the attack on the World Trade Center one incident or were the attacks on the North Tower and the South Tower two seperate incidents?

Nice link, but who are these people and where do they get their info? If I start a website saying space aliens planned 9-11, can it be considered valid?

And building 7 wasn’t so badly damaged it would have fallen without being “pulled”. Probably not straight down either.

Coupole of points.

  1. It took 5 years to build the Twin Towers in the first place. They broke ground in summer 1966, completed summer 1971. If you count plaza elements like 4WTC and the Customs House, the complex was not completed until 1981.
  2. unbuilding what was leftover from uncontrolled demolition is a more difficult task than starting from scratch. You can’t just build the tower without fixing the plaza (and the PATH station, and the subway station, and the memorial…) And they couldn’t just trash what they had with a bulldozer - they had to comb the wreckage for anything containing DNA. Cleanup of the site alone, took until May 2002. Realistically, its been 8 years, not 9.
  3. Adding to unavoidable delays, they recently hit a major archaeological find.
  4. As of the present day, all of the structures ares progressing rapidly.

What was the verdict for that anyway?

Did he do it through one of his shel companies?

Can we talk about Shel Silverstein conspiracy theories?

In other words…STOP ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT 9-11!!!

The government has told us what to think, be happy little children.
The towers haven’t been rebuilt because too many people make things "sacred’ and won’t allow anything built that isn’t “honorable” in their eyes. Wasn’t there a memorial that wasn’t built because it was “too far below street level” or such like?

Hardware redundancy, duh.

The Pentagon was quickly rebuilt with a Muslim prayer room in it at near Pentagon ground zero. When the politics are out of it, work can get done.

NO. You are misreading the Moderator instruction.

This thread is intended to discuss any pertinent reasons why the destroyed buildings have not yet been replaced.

You are not addressing that issue. You are posting more of the sort of truly dumb assertions that have cluttered up this board for the past ten years. You are actually welcome* to start one more thread in which nonsense is waved around in place of actual information.
You are not welcome to hijack this thread into a one more regurgitation of Conspiracy Theories about the attacks.

Do not post more off topic comments in this thread.

  • Welcome is too strong a word, here, but we will not simply close a thread just because it is about an Conspiracy Theory that has been successfully disproven on multiple occasions.

In this thread. I told you twice you were free to ask questions in another thread, but this thread is not the place for the discussion you want to have. 9-11-was-an-inside-job and Loose Change and magic thermite conspiracy theories have been discussed many times on this site and from a moderating standpoint we usually don’t care. But that has nothing to do with why construction at the World Trade Center is not finished.

Bolding mine.

Uh, oh. It was Them again. We really need to do something about Them.

I never did trust that Van Morrison chap.

I think you should get back to writing piano concertos and fart jokes.

They didn’t start building the Barbican Estate, located on 35 acres of bombed-out central London, until 1965 and didn’t finish until 1976 (with the Barbican Centre finally opening in 1982). That’s probably the most comparable post-bombing construction mess.

We’re on it.

<puts out giant irradiated ant traps>

Are the traps irradiated or are they there to catch irradiated ants?

I assume the traps are giant either way. Even if the ants aren’t giant, why wouldn’t you want giant traps?

Hold on a minute, are they rebuilding the twin towers as giant irradiated ant traps?

Yes - they will look something like this. (They’ll also work on giant cockroaches.)

Does over insuring work? Don’t insurance companies have to pay for the damages and that is all?
