Given the fact that Freedom Tower <ie. WTC2> may be viewed as a possible terrorist target will it be difficult to attract coperate clients.I realise that security at the new structure will be incredible but will it be enough to alay the fears of the multinationals and indeed the fears of those companies that will be insuring new clients???

I think the Freedom Tower will just have to be very careful in screening whoever comes within 100 miles of it, probably outright ejecting anyone of Middle Eastern descent just to be sure.

[note: irony intended]

I am begining to think that it may have been a bad idea not to just have put in freedom park instead..

Just tell them that it's their patriotic duty to rent office space and to insure those who rent office space or the terrorists win. That should solve the problem.

That's fucked up. Middle Eastern Jews, Christians, atheists and the like should be allowed in.

They couldn't come up with a better name than "Freedom Tower"?

I second that.It reeks of somthing that was thought up in the 'bible belt' instead of in NYC.

How about America's Middle Finger Tower?

then again you really want to be afraid of the white non-descript people who do the things for money my friend........ not muslims

The name "We'll kick your motherfucking ass if you ever try something like that again, you little pieces of shit tower" was a close second.

I think its only a matter of time before there's a news story about the SAM launchers being installed on top of buildings in New York. Even though the terrorists are well aware that hijacking more planes will be pretty impossible considering how their actions have tightened airport security.

I like that.Its got a New York ring to it..

I'm not kissing anybody's ass.

The name "We'll kiss your motherfucking ass if you ever try something like that again, you little pieces of shit tower" was a close second.Yeah, as others have not quite said, "kick" would be more apt for the sobriquet...

I agree that hijacking planes is well-nigh impossible now, but not because of airport security. As we've seen, security at airports is a joke. It's all for show.

My friends, the true reason that hijacking won't work again is because the passengers won't have it. Hijacking in the past worked because generally speaking, if you were on a plane that was hijacked, you stood a reasonably good chance of surviving if you just sat still and kept quiet. It didn't always happen that way, but it was your best chance. Hijacking was always done for the sake of taking hostages or eascaping authorities.

Now, people will not make that assumption. Now, if a plane is hijacked, the passengers will assume it's to use the plane as a missile, and they will fight. We've seen this already a number of times. Look at Richard Reed (sp?). He went to get frisky and got his butt kicked by the passengers around him. There was also another time when some passenger went crazy and tried to storm the cockpit. He spent the rest of that flight duct-taped to his seat.

no. whatever we build will have to be big- and i mean BIG! I say build a tower 2500 ft. high and tell the rest of the world to go to hell!

:sniper:

Bwahahahahahaha!!

What a typo.

*Shakes head*

How about America's Middle Finger Tower?

First post, Sniper emote.

This has been noted in my list of... first post, sniper emoters...

I think they should just put missles on top and if the weapon(terrorist thing) comes near shot it to prevent another 9-11
:sniper:

"Freedom" Tower?

Missiles are too slow. They need Phalanx Cannon emplacements every other floor with overlapping arces of fire.

As long as they make sure that concrete "bird" points directly towards Mecca, I am all for it.

Wait, we get to claim souls for gunsmilie first posts now?

Awesome.

Where have you been? We've been doing that forever. Or like, a month or so.

Just put "whatever" there.

I'm for it if the photoshop job gets fixed up...

Why don't we just have ballistas on the roof and vats of boiling pitch to pour down the side?

Hey! WTF!? Chicago is building an even taller tower!

That rocks. Even if the photoshopping was seriously sub-par.

In fact, they need to install sound-wave destructo-weaponry that can target and pulverise anyone in a distance of a hundred km. That way, not only will no security risk dare come too close to the people's monuments, but no one will start questioning the greatness of the government!

It's for the public good, I tells ya!

I doubt there will be much problem selling office space in downtown Manhattan. Call it a hunch.

I need someone to protect me from all the measures they've taken to protect me.

It's designed by Skidmore, Merril, & Owings, which also did the Sears Tower in Chicago, the John Hancock Centre in New York, and Burj Dubai in Dubai.

It'd be invincible.

Not as invincible as a mosque.

Clearly, 9/11 was committed by the government for the sole purpose of erecting a tower named "Freedom."
