Rendering of the non-scaled back hub.

"I don't believe this! Other countries would build somithing like this if they experienced a massive terrorist attack.I think that it is a disgrace that the port authority wants to simplify this hub because it costs too much money.This would truly be a beautiful hub if it was built. How could the Port Authority become so lazy with the WTC site? That site should be the center of America's attention right now!!! First the site was set for completion in 2010, then 2011, then 2012 and now 2013!!! Honestly, we should have had something up by 2003 to 2004,and now they want to simplify this hub because of money? This would truly be a remarkable hub,and I have been saying that since I saw it's design in 2006. I think that New York and America really deserves this. I hope that they don't change it's design."
