STORYLINE:

American real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump has his own plans for rebuilding the World Trade Center.

Trump revealed at a news conference in New York that he wants to build two Twin Towers, similar to the ones that were destroyed on September 11th 2001.

However, the new towers would each be one storey higher than the original 110 floors.

Trump says the Freedom Tower design being considered now looks like a skeleton. If that tower is built, Trump says "the terrorists win."

The new twin tower plan being pushed by Trump was designed by an engineer named Ken Gardner, who built a nine-foot-tall model more than a year ago.
