Post by: G.Love on February 28, 2003, 06:04:00 pm: Has anyone here seen the Oklahoma City Murah Building memorial? They kept part of the building up on the memorial site, sort of the same "bathtub" effect, including chairs representing the persons killed, including small chairs for the children killed! It is a well thought-out memorial to make you feel how tragic the bombing was; very haunting, solemn and powerful!

Post by: Cernunnos on February 28, 2003, 09:19:00 pm: I was kind of hoping for the other design, which had two towers, but bigger and with those cool glass helixes surrounding them. Besides, I think it aptly ironic that steel from the WTC is going into the US's new nuclear (or was GWB says, "nukulur") carrier.
