Yes it was rebuilt, only it's called The Freedom Tower.
It's not the WTC anymore, that went down on 9/11/11.
The complex is still called the World Trade Center and the buildings are still named 1 through 6 World Trade Center. I'm not sure if there will be a 7th again. The "Freedom Tower" is actually no longer technically called that, its official name is 1 WTC, like the old North Tower. They thought the name "Freedom Tower" would bring too much unwanted attention aka terrorism. It's a target enough...
Yes, the spire of One World Trade Center is lit blue white and red. Also, I assume you meant 2001.
Yes I did mean 2001.
Quote:
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo directed all state law enforcement to “remain vigilant”
following the series of terror attacks in Paris Friday night.
“The New York State Police, the New York State Intelligence Center and the
Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services are actively monitoring the
situation for any implications in New York State and remain in constant
communication with their local and federal partners,” he said.
He also directed the lights of One World Trade Center’s spire to be lit up
blue, white and red in solidarity with France. Also known as the “Freedom
Tower,” the skyscraper was built as a tribute to the World Trade Center towers
that were destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
I don't quite understand. Why didn't anyone shoot back? Thousands and thousands of people and not one pulling their conceal? What's wrong with people. Fight back.

Um, no. It is not called the Freedom Tower. That was a name a NY governor tagged on it for his political purposes and it was dumped around 2008, when One WTC was still under construction. It is now open and occupied. Four WTC is also completed and occupied. Three WTC is close to completion. Two was just redesigned but construction has not yet begun.
The PATH station is the World Trade Center station. That NEVER changed.
Yes, notice how it also says "One World Trade Center."
You're technically not wrong, colloquially it is often still referred to as the Freedom Tower but the site's official name is still the World Trade Center and the buildings still are named officially by number like the old ones were. Trust me, New York is my city... I know what I'm talking about.
One cannot blame all Muslims for the acts of these fanatical extremists. I don't believe taking out all Mosques would make anything better.
There has to be a way of ridding this planet with those who seek to cause havoc and destruction using Religion as their weapon of choice. There is no God that I would believe would instill this terror as this ISIS does.
I do not believe their "God" allows the killing of innocents.
I understand your logic BUT, all people will be afraid of Muslims now. You can't erase the horror and terror just for the sake of political correctness. Words make little difference, emotions take over. If Muslims don't like the comparison they really need to start taking action within their communities and religion to rid it of terrorists. This is the only way they will free themselves from the association now. People will be afraid of them.
I hear the dem debate will now be rewritten to focus on terror and what they will do about it.

They had no weapons, how can you fight back against automatic gunfire or executing folks they had hostage.
French Police did storm the stadium, all of those cowards blew themselves up, not one willing to face arrest.

I wasn't "afraid of Muslims" post 9-11, and I'm not afraid of "Muslims" now, either ...
