World Trade Center Reborn
Rebuilding 1 of the world trade centers is a risky thing to do because of the messages that it sends to the people that once destroyed it. Rebuilding send the message "We're not scared of what you think." But prehaphs we are scared that things will take a turn for the worst and something like the tragic event of September 11, 2001 will re-occur so it is best to take many safety precautions. 71 elevators are being built into the 1 WTC 5 of which are high speed express cars moving at 2,000 feet per minute or 23 Mph. The best reason for these elevators is that they can get from top to bottom in 45 seconds so if anything horrific were to happen alot of people could get out in a little time. What about fire? 450,000 gallons of water, which is enough to fill all the pipes in 50 Empire State Buildings to capacity 50X is how much water is going to be in the 1 WTC. The concrete can withstand almost 3 times as much as the other skyscrapers in NYC, that would help alot if there were to be an obect fly/drive/hit the building.
