BTW Have they decided to hold some kind of memorial on September 11th this year?

I'm sure they will. I still think they should rebuild them exactly.

Well, while doing that would be a strong statement, it would also be ignorant of the fact that the World Trade Center (towers) were considered by most architects (and many New Yorkers) to be monuments of banality and boringness. Also, since the World Trade Center (towers) were built, many architects, engineers, and real estate experts have concluded that 60 stories is as high as a building can economically be built.
Personally, I think the space should be left empty; those who were alive on September 11, 2001 will always remember what was there, and why nothing is there now.
