Before everyone has a panic attack over the memorial design you need to listen to this interview today by Dan Caplis and Craig Silverman of KHOW. They talked with the wife of the flight 93 pilot and she was also on the board of the design committee.

She says the memorial design should go on as planned. None of the families members of the folks who died in the crash object to design either.

1.....change to silver maple trees
2.....Change to square
3..... Point it at the intended target

None? Really? Did you ask every single one of them?
To: jimbo123
Let's just turn the whole thing over the aliens who do the crop circles and be done with it.

Proposed new design...
To: Coop
so if the wives of some cantor fitzgerald victims wanted a ben laden statue at ground zero, we should accept that? let them place any memorial they want on their property with their money, this is a public memorial.
To: oceanview
Exactly. This is a public memorial with public funds that must be approved by congress and private funds that are being raised by Tom Ridge and Tommy Franks. Congress will not approve this and Ridge and Franks will not be able to raise private funds if they move forward with this design.

Who noted, on 9/11 and the subsequent furor, that Flight 93's bearing was straight towards Mecca???The terrorists weren't planning to attack Mecca, they were heading towards DC!

This would be more appropriate memorial to the spirit of those brave heroes who fought the terrorists!
If the committee wants a shape to 'embrace the crash site.....the WINGS OF AN EAGLE....are more fitting than an Islamic Crescent!

"It's a disappointment there is... a simplistic distortion of this.." It is a disappointment that this egotistical and disingenuous statement had to be made.

If the missing piece of the circle is supposed to indicate the bearing of the plane, then it was, wasn't it?Yes, IF the crescent is actually on the final bearing of the flight.
I don't think he's above lying about that.

Great American Ballpark in downtown Cincinnati is actually a top secret Islamic mosque and place of worship:
Notice the crescent shape of the upper deck.
;)
To: ajolympian2004
"Notice the crescent shape of the upper deck." Oh I see.. it was the Ballpark in Cincinnati where American Heroes first encountered and defeated Islamic terrorists.
Well then ...it is only fitting that the good old boys in Cincinnati should give up the stadium and turn it into a monument to the terrorists. It is the "perfect" shape you know... :^)

I had problems with the "spirit of the design". It should be about heroism and patriotism, not "healing" and "bonding".
Frankly, I was disappointed when they filled it in. It's like they were trying to erase the barbarism of the act. People needed to see what these monsters did.

I vote for this design.

A violent scar on a Pennsylvanian meadow marked their journeys end. This scar traces the horrific, yet inspirational narrative that is the legacy of the passengers and crew of Flight 93. It transformed what was a common field one day into a field of honor forever.
This memorial recounts the experience of 40 people who uncovered the designs of a doomed voyage and acted to re-chart its course. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 gave up their own lives to save countless others. Their gesture and loss remain forever etched in the memories of their loved ones, a great nation and the world.
