since its the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks i thought they deserved their own thread. i hope this thread will be used to celebrate our time with them on the NYC skyline, reminisce on our memories of them,grieve their loss and be comforted by their memory.

They werent very beautiful buildings at all, but they were just like bam, solid.
I wish I could have gone to The Windows on the World and enjoyed a beer while looking out over NYC, hopefully the new tower will have something similar.
I'll never change my mind that they should have put two taller versions of the wtc twins back instead of what's going up now. I like the design of the new complex, but those original towers were absolutely dominating in their presence.

Postcard quality stuff in here for real. I feel so lucky I got to see these two behemoths everyday for for year after year, easily the two most imposing skyscrapers ever built.
