Talk:World Trade Center site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
am i the only person out there that thinks that the world trade center shoud be rebilt as it once stood?
"A public poll sponsored by the official planners saw "Neither" win comfortably over THINK with the Libeskind plan last." --What does this mean? A link should be added for it.64.12.97.7 00:48, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I figured it out, but a link should still be added.64.12.97.7 00:55, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
I changed the part about the PATH line running through the footprint to say that it will unlikely that the track alignment be changed. In order to avoid the footprint, the tracks would have to make incredibly sharp curves that would either limit the stations size and usability or would be too sharp to be traversed by trains. - Boarshevik 18:47, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] images
The two images at the bottom of the main section could really do with catpions. I would add them myself, but I don't know what suitable captions would be. Thryduulf 10:35, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Pile
Please don't add back The Pile. The World Trade Center site hasn't been described as the pile in since April 2002 (or earlier). patsw 17:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "finland island"?
What does the second paragraph mean when it says that the WTC is located "in finland island"? It's on Manhattan island, and I've never heard anyone refer to the WTC, or any part of Manhattan, as "finland".
[edit] error, incomprehensible statement
"The lease for the site and its rebuilding was purchased in July 2001..." This seems extraordinarily unlikely. The site did not need rebuilding at the time it was leased.
"The old tower footprints would be preserved as sunken pits where a "Wedge of Light" would honor the victims of the attacks by focusing sunlight on September 11 from 8:46 to 10:28 a.m. EST into the footprints. Other analysts doubt this." Huh?

[edit] Pictures
Why are there no pictures of the site, pre bombing? 81.149.182.210 00:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed. Since the majority of the history is actually pre-bombing, we should have some pictures of the original complex. Alyeska 15:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Under "Litigation", citation needed for rebuilding cost estimate claim
Under "Litigation":
"Overall cost estimates for rebuilding the site range from $10 billion to $12 billion.[citation needed]"
A news article by the NYTimes might be a useable cite for this figure:
Rebuilding the World Trade Center site will cost roughly $10 billion, with two-thirds of that paying for the office, cultural and transportation buildings...
On the other hand, I'm wary about using the NYTimes as a cite, since their stories occasionally disappear behind the Archive wall, which requires subscription. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aldctjoc (talk • contribs) 15:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
