Lots of twin things were built everywhere throughout the ages; locally only...

Lots of others I forget. In fact, what will remind us all of NY's former WTC about those 2 is their tremendous impact in the skyline.

Any New Yorker who is offended by twin buildings being built across the ocean is not a real New Yorker. NYC has built several twin buildings since 9/11, with more proposed/approved.
