#14, Good Lord, who dresses this woman, Santa's workshop?
FWIW I like #5 a whole lot better than #6. Years ago when designs for a memorial were first being considered I thought they had settled on a design that featured columns of light rising up where the towers had been for night time and fountains, also rising up for daylight hours. What happened to that?
I don't want to be misunderstood or misconstrued, I mean no disrespect but I just am not a big fan of the design they settled on. Two pits in the ground with water perpetually falling into two giant drains was a bad idea IMHO. I find it depressing and I would have much more liked to have seen fountains with water perpetually rising triumphantly upward in celebration of the lives lost and as a gesture of defiance to the terrorists.
I don't like the design of the memorial at all with the water disappearing into a black abyss like that, it's just depressing and smacks of defeat. Notice that the Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor and the Viet Nam memorial in Arlington share similar features which I feel are much more appropriate. Both are depressed in the center signifying initial loss yet rise at the ends in memorial to those lost.
