What I want to know is, if a plane hits it, both will collapse?

Many, many years ago i stood on top of the one with the outside bit on the roof and still have my ticket. . .along with a leaf from central park, my chips napkin from the statue of liberty, a sweatshirt i bought from a bloke with a sports bag on the street in Wall Street, a receipt from McDonalds on Broadway (which had a maitre d' and a grand piano in it) and a beer label from a meal in chinatown. It was a super-skint now-or-never type holiday

It was awesomely massive to stand on and indeed the amount of people underneath me at the time was mind-boggling. Even with that minor, piffling 'involvement' i sometimes catch myself looking at the whole grief-extravaganza every year.

Not sure where i'm going with this, but maybe it's that flippant smiling at the jenga thing is the better than the annual palaver of 'respect'.


i should stop trying to be clever, i can't quite pull it off

What that built after 9/11?

It kind of looks like a 'twin towers after impact' piss take

Fuck that, do it anyway.

Thats like saying any tall, unfancy building reminds them of one of the twin towers. Fuckin' ridiculous.

It would be a very, very cool way to connect two buildings. It's achievements of humans like building higher and taller and weirder that remind us that we can be and do better than we are etc.

A plaque on the side saying "America....Sorry." would suffice.

There should be a 10 year limit on ostentatious outpourings of grief. Beyond that, it's just showbiz.

Architects are a bunch of morons. It's all about who can design the most ridiculous building these days.

Saw a house in Aus that looked a bit like this except not raised off the ground:

We get it, you're different. Just like everybody else.

On topic, Huffington post needs to stop whinging and being upset/offended at stuff. Nobody else seems to care.

Those cube houses are in Rotterdam, not Australia. Just next to Blaak metro station.

Edit: Oh I see - you mean like them, not exactly them.

Since we're OT, my favourite bit of Architecture is this awesomeness:

Habitat 67.

It's that time of year again when the american people pause in quiet reflection as they decide who to bomb the shit out of next.

If they want to get all nostalgic, why not bomb the shit out of Dresden again?

[Carl_steveo]

Does this mean the Tv is going to be flooded with repeated programmes all saying the same thing for the next two weeks.

God bless our Al Qaeda allies... but only the ones fighting for natural gas pipelines and the interests of Zionism democracy in Syria. God please send the ones in Afghanistan and Yemen to hell, or at least some bus tickets to Damascus
