Created by Frank A. Tropea in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, Vote To Rebuild offered a place to advocate for rebuilding the World Trade Center Twin Towers and to discuss what should take their place. Twenty-five years later, its creator has brought the site back to preserve a record of that moment.
The original wording and period layout are retained. Visitor comments reflect views and information expressed at the time; they have not been updated. This is a historical record; the original poll and discussion board are inactive. Contact the creator today at franktropea@gmail.com.
Recovered pages span several archive dates. The homepage’s original animated header, accompanying images and all seven Photo Captions photographs were recovered from the Library of Congress web archive. Some photographs and early graphics remain unavailable in this edition; marked spaces retain their positions and surviving captions. No invented poll results have been added.

Photos from 9/11/2001 and

WTC disaster as witnessed by
Frank A. Tropea

My first look at the WTC after the attack.

Wide shot only moments later.

After I helped evacuate my building, I joined fellow
New Yorker's as they fled the city over the Manhattan bridge.

Looking back in dismay from the Manhattan bridge.

Is this New York?

Revisited the WTC site with my wife on 09/21/01
