How the World Trade Center Was Rebuilt

Since I was a child I had always been fascinated by the twin towers, it was not only a icon of New York but a symbol of America. In 1991 I took a road trip from Texas to New York. I will never forget the feeling seeing the twin towers on the horizon as I got close to the city. The first stop in New York was the observation deck at WTC. I went to the top 4 times during that trip. The last visit was at night and the ticket agent informed me the top of the towers were in the clouds and the rooftop was closed. I went up anyway to the inside observation level. It was close to closing time and the observation level was empty. The clouds lifted a bit and was able to see the city lit up at night. I took in the view in silence (compared to the huge crowd during the day) until closing. It was the highlight of the trip. The current WTC replacements are nice and beautiful buildings but they do not command the skyline like two identical 110 floor towers. I would have like to seen the Twin Towers rebuilt with modern safety and construction methods.  But I am thankful I was able to visit the original towers.
