The original Flight 93 memorial design, with a crescent of maple trees that some critics had said was a symbol honoring terrorists.

--------------------

"Entry Portal," is the new design for the Flight 93 memorial. The centerpiece of a bowl-shaped piece of land replaces a crescent-shape design

Looks very red cresent to me. One would think with all the controversy, they'd change it, but I supposed that would offend the minority.

Looks like a semicircle of trees. And if the architect used that phrase in his description, the whole controversy would have been avoided. On the other hand, he could have written "croissant" and give the French-bashers apoplectic fits.
