WTC Site Architects Claim Cooperation NEW YORK (AP) 12.12.03, 7:45a -- Despite reports of bitter feuding, two renowned architects said Thursday they're working together to complete a plan by next week for a 1,776-foot tower at the World Trade Center site. "People know there are differences," Daniel Libeskind said. "It's not easy. But we're working toward reconciling those differences and creating something that everybody will be proud of." David Childs added: "We've been working together since the middle of July, and we've made tremendous progress. We're not finished." The two men joined Gov. George Pataki and trade center leaseholder Larry Silverstein at a ceremony marking the hoisting of the first steel beam for the tenant floors at 7 World Trade Center. The 52-story building is rising just north of the trade center site, where terrorists destroyed the twin towers and other buildings on Sept. 11, 2001....

So I was just wondering, has anybody thought of including anti-aircraft guns mounted on the roofs of any of these replacement buildings? In fact, how about putting aag's on top of all major skyscrapers in this country? I'll bet the reduction in insurance costs would more than make up for the costs of buying and manning such fortifications.

Or maybe heat-guided missile launchers...
