The five skyscrapers were all supposed to rise by early next decade to replace the ravaged World Trade Center, with the city’s tallest towers set in a spiral evoking the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
They would frame a massive memorial in a tree-filled park, plus a theater and a transportation hub with uplifted wings — one of several symbols intended to defy the terrorists who destroyed the 16-acre site in under two hours.
Standing on the site now — a multi-level labyrinth of concrete and steel, from the entrance resembling the rooftops of an underground city — the sweeping design unveiled 61/2 years ago still hasn’t materialized.
And while the most symbolic pieces of the puzzle at ground zero are taking shape, it’s become increasingly clear that the grand scheme will take decades to be fully completed, if it ever is at all.

I liked the Penn & Teller (and Trump, and others) idea: they should just rebuild the originals, just a bit taller, with better construction. Two giant middle fingers to the terrorist *******s!
