OMG-I thought this was a joke. It's true. I can't believe it. Have the families been made aware of what this thing really is? Disgusting. It has to be stopped. As another FReeper said- the people on flight 93 said the Lord's Prayer before they fought back. It should be in the shaped of a cross, if anything.
I just saw the Discovery Channel Show. I feel if this design is what these families want, it is their right without being marred by the rest of us complaining and trying to get it changed.
The mother of the flight attendent said she pictures her daughter and the others in God's arms. I suspect this is why the design appealed to them. It is an embrace and symbolizes God's arms cradling their loved ones.
Stone me if you wish, but I think these families are deserving of some peace.
