It seems to be true that the people responsible were not unaware of the implications.

"But even the second-stage jury that selected the design recommended changing its name to steer clear of religious overtones. Rather than crescent, the jury suggested using circle or arc of embrace instead."

A name change might seem to be trivial, but memorials are by nature fraught with symbolism. Perhaps you are right, and I should just be angry, but it is still saddens me that the heroism of the people on that flight who resisted will now be linked to this controversy that could have been avoided.
