09/25/2008 | The loss of innocent lives,,, and the subsequent sickening of survivors due to the poisons released into NYC air... was - and continues to be - a genuine tragedy of fairly great proportions.
The demolition of those hideous buildings was a victory for aesthetics.

09/25/2008 | It might have been a beautiful structure that had a lot of sweat, blood, and tears put into it. But nothing can ever compare with the loss of human life.

08/15/2008 | Symbolic as they may have been, they were pretty uninteresting architecturally.
Their loss is utterly dwarfed by the loss of life involved in their destruction.

05/28/2006 | We can rebuild those structures but the loss of life can never be replaced.

07/13/2005 | I actually think the memorial building, which will be the tallest building in the world when it's built, that is replacing the WTC towers, is better, and more suited. For all terrorism, for all freedom ever gained or needed. But yes, the loss of 3000 people is much worse.

01/15/2004 | Although it was a landmark building. I think the world has more important things to worry about. Because a building can be rebuilt. Lives can't.

09/20/2003 | The buildings were unimportant. Buildings can be rebuilt, remodled, refurnished and replaced but the lives of those people that died that day aren't nearly as easy to replace.

08/22/2003 | A horrific loss for civilization.
Those buildings were dedicated to peace, and they should have lasted a thousand years.

04/22/2003 | I'm not sure if this refers to the buildings themselves, or the people in them? Anyway, I hope that the powers that be wise up and build FOUR towers exactly like the ones which were destroyed. Any sort of memorial in place of them or anything less than the complete restoration of the towers as they were means the terrorists won. I think people would line up to be a part of the resotred towers.

04/22/2003 | While the World Trade Center was certainly a symbol of the United States, it can be replaced. The near 3,000 lives that were lost cannot be replaced.

02/28/2003 | I never really realized what magnificent buildings the WTC towers were until they were gone. I woke up on September 12 and looked out the window and burst into tears. They were something all New Yorkers saw every single day and actually took for granted. The skyline is so empty now. . .

02/08/2003 | The tragedy was the loss of people, not those big bland buildings.

02/07/2003 | Why do you suppose they were such a prime target? This monument to corporate greed and excess stood for the worst aspect of what the terrorists despised of capitalism. Architecturally, they were as blank as the conscience of a corporate raider, so no loss there. Only the sheer number of people killed and maimed in their destruction is of consequence.

02/07/2003 | The WTC was a tradegy, it punched Wall Street right smack in the face. But is waent't at bad as the 3,000 victims. They should be built in several smaller buildings- to prevent a future disaster

12/17/2002 | I'm not a New Yorker nor have I ever been there, but they destroyed a symbol of our economy and our way of life so it was, indeed, a travesty.

07/08/2002 | Two great buildings were lost. Of course, the most tragic loss were the thousands who died on that day, but with no WTC means a big part of New York's skyline. I can't wait until they rebuild it, hopefully builder and better.

12/09/2001 | Make that a 2 1/2. While I do find it quite disturbing that there is a glaring black hole where the WTC used to be, the only thing losing that really may have affected (this is speaking of just me) is my stocks. The WTC was simply a building; it wasn't anything sacred. When I watched the Trade Center collapse, I am sorry that I cannot please you by saying that I was shocked and horrified and frightened. I was not. Later in the day, I was still able to talk and laugh with my best friends and I never felt any overwhelming sense of anger or grief. That only happened when Mr. Bush started the unnoficial war. Losing the Trade Center would sort of be like me losing my the door of my closet. Without it, I feel very strange and I feel like something important is missing. But I learn to live without it. And this is what we must do, like it or not. Take care, everyone!

12/08/2001 |  The loss of the World Trade Center in of itself does not really matter in the broad scheme of things; what really matters is the loss of lives and the many families who lost moms and dads or maybe even both parents. The death toll as of today is somewhere below 3,000 people; the weeks following September 11th it was thought to be at around 6,500 people. The evacuation effort by the Port Authority during the attack was remarkable and was in fact a logistical miracle. 20,000 people were thought to be in the World Trade Center at that particular morning. Almost 90 percent of the people there got out. Timing also played a role in the amount of deaths that occured. If the terrorist act had happened during the peak lunch hours, there would have been 50,000 people there and the result would have been many more deaths. The buildings don't really matter, Lower Manhattan will be rebuilt; it will come back stronger than ever and so will the rest of New York. There will be many families with lost loved ones; they are the important ones in this whole tragedy. These families need to be remembered, whether it be in your prayers or though financial donations to provide for the children's college educations.

12/06/2001 | As Snoopy said - it's the loss of lives not the buildings that was the real tragedy. I gave it a 5 because I can't separate the two in my mind.

12/06/2001 | The World Trade Center was a symbol for me as a New Yorker of the city and really our country as a whole because it was an area of free market and displayed our economic power. However, it really isn't that terrible that the structural aspect was knocked down, as long as we remember what it stood for.

12/05/2001 | The loss of the World Trade Center doesn't upset me. It's the loss of all those innocent lives that does.
