What do they have now?? Lmao we just have tsa other than that still could happen

I wish that too... The original World Trade Center & its Twin Towers, has such a huge meaningful presence in NY... Those Twin should have been rebuilt stronger and better whatever the fear everyone felt that time... It was a symbol, not just a building that should be replaced with another design..Imagine the Empire State Building collapsing...What ever the fear it has to be restored as a SYMBOL of the city history... What a shame they chose to replace it with the new building design... The man who predicted 9/11 was named Rick Rescorla.. He was in charge of security for the WTC South Tower 2 (at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter --> a company with thousand workers and more than 20 floors on the Towers). After 1993 he predicted the danger for a next terrorist attack from the air, and he proprosed plenty of SAFETY MEASURES for the buildings, while he educated all the workers to evacuate properly in case of an alarm... Rick Rescorla was there on 9/11, he immediately took actions, took every worker from Morgan Stanley out the building (saving thousand more people from death) and while he had the chance to leave after emptying the floors of his company, he chose to return upstairs to save others trapped... Minutes later he died inside the collapsing South Towers...

They were kind of ugly, impractical buildings. They had a notorious vacancy issue, and the only reason they existed was because of the Port Authority financing meaning that amount of office space could never be commercially sustainable. Just look at most other super tall buildings around the world and a pattern of vanity emerges over prudency.

@@BargSlarg You simply have NO IDEA about the WTC Design Innovations . Impractical buildings? Where does it come from? With your way of thinking, the new wtc with 6 Towers is even more impractical than the 2 Towers before… The WTC had always a renting potential and the traffic through the Trade Center was groundbreaking. That’s the reason they wanted to rebuild all the lost office space. After all, you should read more things about the Twin Towers construction method and then you will understand that all modern skyscrapers are built in the same way.

@@ArgirisRamandanis The new Complex is significantly smaller than the original even assuming Two World Trade is constructed and it still experiences vacancy problems in towers 3 and 4, so I’d ask you, how is 20 million plus square feet of commercial space practical with the Original complexes 20-30% vacancy at any given time?

Yes, Colin, that is true. But they couldn’t prevent what happened although they tried to calculate and simulate it.

@@DWHistoryandCulture the towers were designed to widstand high speed plane crash but the fires damage were not taken into consideration the towers collapsed from the furnintures fires that followed and they stood as they can , for me the loss of all those people and the complex itself is unacceptable and it is sad they were not rebuilt as they were , i currently rebuilding it in virtual reality in every inch to revive the better past we had

IF explosives or some other form of weaponry were used, they weren't built to withstand that either.

you forgot to mention what kind of planes. WTC came up in the 70s. Planes got bigger, better, faster.

They were designed to withstand small airplanes or minor office fires. Not Boeing 767 and 10,000 gallons of jet fuel. They was very strong buildings but they suffered too much damage on 911. They put up a good fight. 30,000 people got out because they stood so long.

​​@@DWHistoryandCulture he said because of George W. Bush, the twin towers are no longer there

@@DWHistoryandCulture He said that Bush did the attacks, which isn't true.
