I am not surprised that Deutsche Bank caught on fire again recently (“Downtown Dithering,” Nov. 18).

As usual, the LMDC was cutting corners just so that it could meet a deadline.

Of course, it won’t just be the demolition of the Deutsche Bank that will delay the official plans. The Freedom Tower still has no tenants, and the costs have increased within the last year.

Once Gov. Spitzer sees all these problems with the official plan, he should go back to having the Twin Towers rebuilt, an economically cheaper solution.
