I agree, I think if this design is built, those maple trees will mysteriously contract some fatal disease.
The Belmont Club did an analysis, and isn't sure.

Of course they were muslims on the flight. Without them there would be no need for a memorial in the first place.
Sent my email to Ms. Norton!
Here's a solution:
Take their crescent, combine it with "Let's Roll"
and you get a crescent roll.
So why not make the Pillsbury Dough Boy a symbol of universal compromise? Friendly, non threatening, and completely meaningless.
The perfect appeasement. /s
I think the least they could do is place a statue of Atta at the center of the crescent.
Well, we all know what would happen if it were in the shape of a cross.
Thanks for the contact info. E-mail sent! Maybe if enough outrage is expressed they'll see the error of this 'design'.
Actually, they found that all data seemed to correspond to the memorial being aligned toward Mecca. It was the crescent design which they thought might be a coincidence. The website the Club examined (that of architect Nelson Byrd Woltz) had nothing to do with the design... And, at any rate, the use of a crescent shape, while an oft-repeated design through history, has absolutely no place at the crash site of Flight 93. Any high-school senior could tell you why.
The placement, and the design, was deliberate.
Ms Norton seems to have a kind of "rainbow coalition" mentality, reaching across to our Islamic "brothers" and "sisters" in an apparent effort to forgive them at the very place where our innocents were murdered by them....a fine example of the fact that all people are not created intellectually equal in matters of common sense.
My idea would be to build a monument on an artificial hill. Have a seperate path leading up to the hill for each of the passengers. That would symbolize that these people were just going about their normal activities when their lives converged on this terrible event. On top of the hill, a monument and a small museum.
My letter
There is no doubt that certain symbols carry with them a far greater weight than others.
The red crescent being considered for the flight 93 memorial is bound by its past
use and inherent natural signification to cause greater discord than the event it purports
to memorialize. Such hubris is unrivaled which dares to tempt fate by building what the
islamists will assuredly see as nothing more than an idol and what christians will see
as the blood moon in the book of revelations, signifying the opening of the seven seals
and the pouring out of the wrath of God. Such a design as this is an insult to the dead,
not a memorial. Please, for the sake of all, do not proceed with this design for the
memorial of flight 93. Do not mark the soil of this great country with the growth
of a symbol which represents the meccan moon god of war and the blood
of innocents spilled in his name upon that same soil.
You know I didn't like the design from the start but thought the "oriented to face Mecca" was just "Black helo kookey"
When I first looked an the maps I didn't look close I was thinking it's just facing north pole because of the grids on the maps....but this type map view the grids in not center on the pole but on the center point of the path ... if this numbers have not been fudged ..it does seem to be deliberately oriented to face Mecca... 
Anyway for the view on the street overseas - here
Dear Superintendent,
I'm writing to express my opposition to the proposed Flight 93 memorial. Designer Paul Murdochs tone ("a gesture of healing and bonding") and symbology (a red crescent and "tower of voices") are inappropriate, insulting and smack of a not-so-subtle attempt to appease the very enemies who attacked our country on Sept 11, 2001.
I respectfully ask that you reject this design.
Thank you,
Lum, 29, lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He has a bachelor’s degree in architecture and worked two years in the industry. He is working on his master’s degree. “This competition came along and it was a once in a lifetime thing; I knew I shouldn’t let it go,” he said. “No, I didn’t expect to be a finalist. I did it for the pleasure of it. Giving back to society. I’m shocked that I’m a finalist.”
His master’s thesis has reconciliation as a theme and the idea of reconciliation influenced his design. The title of his design is “(F) LIGHT-The Luminous Roofscape.” The (F) is grayed-out, so it says both flight and light. His design includes five white pebbled pools and a tree line, a memorial courtyard and a reflecting pool.
He did not visit the crash site, but plans to come for the finalists’ workshop at the end of February.
“Reconciliation of what happened there, reconciliation for the families, the friends of those who perished in that tragedy,” he said. “Also, reconciliation on a global scale — America and international society.
