Why won't they rebuild the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center?
After the destruction of the Twin Towers, they started to build the freedom tower to replace the towers. Why won't they just rebuild both Twin Towers, and make them exactly the way they were before?
Because the 'business case' (cost to build vs. the revenue they would generate) did not support this approach.
