A tower with 40 wind chimes welcomes visitors to the site . . . symbolizing the 40 passengers and crew who died on the plane.

Nice touch.

Great work Tancredo.

I still don't like it. I especially don't like that it took much fussing for these idiots to change the design, and most unfortunate that they designed it to begin with.

Having said that, it's better than the original I suppose and Tancredo deserves yet another pat on the back.

[BigFinn]

The redesigned flight 93 memorial, announced today, still contains all of the features that made it a terrorist memorial. Architect Paul Murdoch's infamous red crescent is still there, still planted with red maple trees, still inscribed in the exact same circle as before, and with the same two crescent tips still intact.

...except that the new design is a minor tweak of the old one. Still has a crescent. Still honors terrorists.

[FreedomCalls]

I remember when memorials used to look simple and elegant like this.

Flight 93 was flying to San Francisco from Newark, N.J., when it was hijacked and crashed.

AP's not too strong on their facts...

[Dustbunny]

I do not see a change in the design plus I do not like the idea of blocks for the 4 murders.

They need to scrap this whole design and get different designers.

[Killborn]

Tell the a-hole making this (r@ppy monument to either make a warmonger one and get rid of the fooking crescent or go home.

Politely of course, some 9/11 families still don't know what the fuss is about.

[jimbo123]

The crescent is still there. Tancredo is a fool if he thinks we're going to fall for this nonsense.

It was that hard-hitting email I sent them that got the job done! </kidding>

[Mrs. Ranger]

checked the by-line. Yup, AP. Why am I *not* surprised? Contrary to what the AP implies, I can assure you that the complaints from those living in the area, along with at least some of the flight 93 families were quick, loud, and long as soon as the "design" was unveiled locally. ;)

AP makes it sound like Tancredo was the *only* critic and single-handedly got the design changed, which is far from the truth. :(

[COEXERJ145]

Oh please, it was not changed because Tancredo did his usual attention getting b*tch fest.

I should be surprised that Tancredo is claiming all the credit but alas, I'm not. He is such a megalomaniac he will claim credit for anything while at the same time doing his best to stonewall important issues like immigration reform.

Tancredo cares about one thing and that is getting as much attention for himself as possible.

[dennisw]

Tom Tancredo helped a lot but many applied pressure to change this memorial to the better.

Of course Tom is great on illegal immigration and was great when he had the guts to say Mecca Medina should be on considered for nuclear retaliation should an Islamic nuke be detonated here.
