Posted on August 25, 2011 at 1:46pmGroundbreaking for the World Trade Center took place on August 5, 1966. The North Tower (1) was completed in December 1972 and the South Tower (2) was finished in July 1973.
So, it took less than SEVEN years to build two 110 story buildings back then, but now it takes TEN years to get to ground level?!?

There are some union and socialist rats that have been living off of the remains of a nations dreams in N.Y..
I’m not sure if these rats can swim, but a little scrubbing would probably do wonders for there additude towards the nation they feed on.
Hope you have enjoyed your trip thru the Caribean and the Bahama’s.

Good luck on your journey to Europe after your tour of the east coast of America.

Unions were around in the 60s also so I don’t see your point.
You should also remember that in these 7 years there weren’t just building to ground level, they were removing all the debris from the original buildings. And as everyone knows it’s a lot easier to make a mess than to clean it up.
Kudos to the Unions!
Unions are the life blood the working class. If you revert back to a time without labor unions you revert back to the 19th century. We want to move FORWARD not back.

Then:
In March 1965, the Port Authority began acquiring property at the WTC site. Demolition work began on March 21, 1966 to clear thirteen square blocks of low rise buildings in Radio Row for construction of the WTC. Groundbreaking for the construction of the WTC took place on August 5, 1966. Construction started August 1968 and was completed July 19, 1971.
Now:
On March 13, 2006, workers arrived at the WTC site to remove remaining debris and start surveying work. This marked the official start of construction of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
So it took less than six years to buy and clear land, and construct two 110 story buildings, but it took five years to build two pools and plant a bunch of trees?
I know unions were around when the original WTC’s were built, but something has definitely changed over time. Being a union member back then was about taking pride in your specialized skill/craft, and making an honest living for your family. Today’s unions seem to be focused on getting more “entitlements” for less work and supporting their leaders agendas for organizing against “the man”.

To get on topic and make you happy, it’s true that union workers do as little work possible and demand the highest wages, nothing surprising there… But this isn’t really about Unions… It‘s because of liberal minded resistance that we didn’t build a building to put all other buildings of the world to shame, as a show of defiance to the terrorists. NOW, we can’t even call the building “Freedom Tower” out of concern that Freedom Tower would become too tempting a target for terrorism. As Donald Trump put it, what they’ve built there is a pile of junk and terrorist won! If you were consistent to your way of thinking, this should have actually made you happy Thomasdaddy.

All of our historical battlefields were frozen in time and left in way representing the actual battle scene so that we will not forget the significance of each battle of each war.
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) and many other non-profit organizations work hard preserving and protecting America’s historical sites and battlefields from today’s modern developers and activities. They spend a lot of time, energy, and money ensuring that we do not lose or bury our American heritage. Decades from now, they will be fighting to protect and preserve this memorial.
I feel the two fountains are appropriate for signifying the loss of the two towers and the human lives within. However, I am disappointed with the amount of time spent constructing so little. And, it had to be extremely costly, especially during the Great Recession, for the tax payers to keep a workforce and the equipment an additional five years for a project that could have been completed in only TWO YEARS!!!
