If you needed for any reason to aquire a picture or print of the New York skyline?

Question

...for your own personal perusal, would you get one with the World Trade Centre towers showing or one with them missing? And why?

Answer 1

I think you should get one with the world trade center. That is history.

Answer 2

I wouldn't reject a good print because it showed them. It would add a historical talking point to the print - to pass on one because of that would be like banning all the images of JFK because he was assassinated: First Amendment territory, I guess?

Friends and a family member were in the city that day, and it wouldn't be my idea to make an issue of it, but I think it's better for them to talk it over now, remember losses, and rethink the contributory causes, than not. Plus every student, I reckon should study the collapse and learn lessons. All the ideology in the world can only add to the dangers of the world, but it can't prevent engineers from learning how to design better for the future. I guess you could ask your local fire department for their views - if they saw it, would it be too unsettling, or remind them of heroism and of more peaceful times?

Answer 3

I grew up here so I'd get the ones with Twin Towers.That is the NYC I know. But I mean I guess my kid would get one without. He wouldn't understand the beauty of the Towers because he never actually saw them.

Answer 4

Ive just copme back from NY and I bought them without as I think its better. It looks more realistic as its been 5 and half years now, if you really cant decide whay dont you get them ones where the light shines up where they would have been as that shows past and present.

Answer 5
