9/11 Memorial in N.J. Has 40 Extra Names (of people not dead)

A 100-foot-tall sculpture being unveiled on Monday's fifth anniversary of 9-11 honors thousands of terrorist attack victims, and then some: Carved into the granite base are the names of more than 40 people who weren't killed on Sept. 11 after all.

The majestic sculpture across the Hudson River from ground zero will feature 3,024 names of people once believed to have died in the 1993 and Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. The problem is that the Russian artist who created the work used an outdated list of names of those missing at the trade center.

Some victims' family members said the erroneous names need to be removed.

"It kind of cheapens the whole thing," said Jack Lynch, whose firefighter son Michael Lynch was killed on Sept 11.

The memorial, called "To the Struggle Against World Terrorism," is not the only Sept. 11 tribute to run into such problems. In Jersey City, a memorial dedicated in 2002 to 40 victims was redone for $7,500.

if the faux names are not removed, will they go down in history as being real?

and no one wanted it in new york or hoboken or jersey city. this is how it ended up in bayonne.
yikes. i'd rather be forgotten than be connected to a POS like that.

Crime Family and their friends at ABC/Disney/Scholastic have turned 9/11 into a big lie anyway. In a hundred years or so, who'd know the difference?

Orwellian name. Can't stand these bush-isms and rummy-ism (To the Struggle Against World Terrorism)titles put on things. Freedom Tower ...why not just put a bulls eye on it.:puke:

...and it seems very appropriate for our current bloodsucker administration, don'tcha think? :eyes:
