The redeveloping of the site at Ground Zero has started. Piling work has started. In a matter of years, the Freedom Tower will be developed and opened for business.
However, do you honestly think things would be the same as before, after all the terrifying moments that had occurred? Do you think the people will it hard to accept a new beginning? This is especially so if bone fragments are still fond on the site, 6 years after the tragedy.

No. I think that people will be pleased to see the Freedom Tower completed for two reasons.
1) It will stand as a memorial to those who died.
2) It should stand as a beacon that the world will not be beaten by terrorism.
But in fairness, that's a British point of view and so the Americans may disagree with me as it's on their home soil.
Interesting question though.

We must rebuild there. To leave that site vacant and deserted would mean that evil people can destroy us and our national possessions. We must rebuild....higher, better, more beautiful. We must make that site a monument to those who died and, years later, tourists will visit there and, for a brief moment, experience the agony felt by all Americans that morning.
Go to Hawaii. Visit the Arizona and the sites there intended to memorialize the shock and suffering of that December 7. Tears flow down the cheeks of people too young to have even been around during that time. Many of those tears are on the faces of the Japanese tourists.
A new building on the WTC site will not only be a memorial, but it will be a signal to all of our enemies that they cannot destroy the American spirit, that we will rise from the ashes to be as great and glorious as ever!

I think the site should be turned into a garden. I know I am talking about one of the most valuable real estate sites in the world, so it will never happen, but i still think that would be the most suitable thing to do. A garden where everyone, involved or not, can go to sit and think about how this garden came to be.

Many thousands of people died in air raids on London, Liverpool, Coventry etc but people still moved back when their homes were rebuilt.
People are far more adaptable, courageous and stoical than they are given credit for.
And no, things will never be the same, but life is for the living and those that remain must make the best shot they can out of what remains of their lives.

It is going to be hard for all those who lost someone to see it or be near it- I , for one, am glad to see the builiding of the freedom tower-- a symbol of true patriotism- "the land of the free and home of the brave"--
So many people would be weirded out to find that many of the buuildings the enter and exit every day were built over the graves of others

I had a friend who died in 911, he was only 31 years old and the only part of him his wife has is a little bone, she will never let go. I would have developed a park where people can go and sit and pray, with walls of the name's of the dead and angels looking up at the heavens all over the park. And I would have called it THE PARK OF ANGELS OF 911.

Well, you didn't think they'd leave a valuable plot of land like ground zero as it was? did you? After all, every country bombed during WWII rebuilt too, why shouldn't they?
In my opinion a monument to the victims, where people could go to present their respects or say a prayer, should be enough, since nothing would bring them back.

On the other side of my street is a lovely park. You can still see the mounds where the houses were. Our street was bombed during the Blitz (WW2) and they never rebuilt the houses, we got a park instead. But many London houses are built on bomb sites, we just don't go on about it. In time, neither will you.

Suprising you should mention 'bone fragments'. How did they appear on the tops of other builldings?
If things were to be the same as before than the new owner of the WTC would, likely, be losing money. The WTC was not attracting tenants.
How much did Silverstein make on insurance?
He bought it for 3.2 billion.
Lots of money. Lots of dead.
