I like it. I'm so happy they didn't pick that other, goofy finalist with the oversize plane running through it. I particularly like leaving part of the excavation as a memorial.

Instead of building the world's tallest building, why not build the world's safest building???

I like the design. Good to see that they're rebuilding.

I think the likelyhood of another attack on the new one is pretty slim. But yeah, they need to *try* and make it as safe as possible.

That said, I'm glad they decided to build a structure to rival/beat the Petronas Towers. Definitely gives a big you to terrorists...you hurt us, we rebuild bigger and better than ever.
You are right guys. I appologize.

The only building that's totally safe is the one that's not there. Not exactly an effective way to go about it...
