Towers Were A Target And Should Not Be Rebuilt

19 September 2001 - 7:00am

The author who wrote a history of the World Trade Center says the towers should not be rebuilt.

"Eric Darton, the author of 'Divided We Stand: a Biography of New York's World Trade Center,' said the building was flawed in many ways. Darton, who spent eight years writing the book, said one of the buildings biggest problems was that it was impossible to evacuate it quickly... The decision to reoccupy the buildings after the 1993 attack that killed six people and wounded hundreds was 'an unconscionable act,' he said. 'The buildings were clearly a target, and in my view, if you build a target, they will shoot.'"
