I pray that this is redesigned before it's actual erection, I honestly doubt it, but the lives that where taken during the attacks of 9-11, and to the family's who have lost there loved one's, this is a disgrace and a sad example of it. Please my friends, no offence taken; but the victims, there family's, and New-York deserves better, much better!! This buildings architecture has to be one of the most discraseful slaps in the face I have ever seen! The developer, man in-charge, and architect should be ashamed of them-self's. New-York deserves better!

Thats exactly what I think.
Symbolic height of 1776' is ok, but sticking a 408' pole on top (cheating) to achieve this is just not right. What the architects trying to prove with this ? that we want tall buildings but we're afraid of high roofs ? This is just disgraceful for NY.
