Almost anyone who reads this remembers the brave passengers of flight 93, who, on 9/11, overpowered the hijackers on their flight and caused the airplane to crash in a Pennsylvania field instead of the White House or Capital.
Certainly we would all agree that those brave souls should be memorialized. But do you imagine any of them would want their memorial for selfless sacrifice to come at the price of their fellow Americans property?
Can anyone explain why a memorial to these brave Americans must be 2,200 acres in size and force property owners in the area where the airplane happened to crash to give up their property to satisfy the plans and demands of the government?

This was the original design by the same designer. The new design added a few trees to cover the crescent.

Chris you honored my humble words.
I post this on a group I belong to every year on September 11th:
My friends take a moment and look about you, for the land we live in is full of heroes, all capable of great feats of courage and bravery. The world has shown us that we are alone and have only each other to stand against those who would do us evil. A so I caution, "be prepared" for there may come a day in which a hero will be needed and you will look about you and find none and on that day you might have to look inside yourself and there I am sure you will find that a great hero resides.

One hundred-foot tall pyramid on a one hundred-foot-square base, made with the skulls of Al Qaeda members. We could start building it with those in Guantanamo.
Let it face Mecca.

Land owners have resisted the governments plans for a $58 million, 2,200 acre park. Why on earth should it be that big and cost that much?

This tower of Voices memorial is going to include the terrorist among the victims.
I would rather have NOTHING then to honor the terrorist in anyway.

What a sick perverted joke on the victims and their families and friends. I take that back. It's not sick and perverted, it's evil to turn the deaths of those people into a monument to their killers.
How could anyone other than a islamist, muslim satan worshiper think this is a good idea and how could anyone in government go along with it and fund it? Do the families know? How could they not know? If so, then how could they and all involved approve of and finance this monument to islam and the 9/11 murderers??? God help us.

Some of us watched stewardess Halle Berry in the Hollywood film that ran on TV every week for 2 years before 911/2001. After seeing that movie, how could anyone think anything except the plane itself is the weapon?
