Not really. The paki's celebrated when the towers got hit.
And to make it worse, they are building the towers even higher. I would be scared to work over there.
Yeah more worried about the millions of dollars the city will lose on a piece of Manhattan real estate that remains unused than the lives that could be lost if this happens again. Really was a bad choice deciding to put those towers back up....hope we do not end up regreting it.
People have a right to make their own decisions....but a nice view is not worth dying for. They better go to work with parachutes strapped to their backs everyday! I stand by what I said...anybody in this city willing to take a chance working in those buildings is crazy. Work there if you dare!
LOL, well you are certainly entitled to your opinion! Love the strapping-on-the-parachutes image.
They should not rebuild those towers....really a bad idea. But when they do if any of the companies here in NYC decides to rent office space in them...they are crazy. Do not know how people would be able to go to work everyday looking at the memorial and not spend every moment of the work day in fear!
I know NYC is a greedy place that wants to capitalize on every inch of Manhattan real estate they can but there are some things that are better left alone.
I bet a lot of people that go to work in the new site will be people who didn't experience that day as an adult. I worked across the street and barely got out alive on 9/11. You couldn't pay me to work in any of those buildings. To be honest, I don't even want to work in Manhattan anymore, but do it out of necessity.
first thoughts when i saw the news yesterday as it broke...
My first thoughts, as any good NY-er's should be, were: "Gee, I wonder if that compound is available, and how much do they want for it? It sure looks pretty roomy."
