It is a piece of the actual twin towers. I don’t care if it is ‘ugly’. 9/11 was ‘ugly’. It belongs as a part of a memorial. You don’t reject something that historic just because it looks funny. Doing that is an insult to the men and women who’s blood saturates that steel.
I know damn well what it is. It’s a piece of metal. To equate a piece of metal to men and women and make it into some sort of shrine is an insult.
