London's 9/11 Memorial

This is a sculpture made out of World Trade Center steel to honor the memory of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. There's always someone who is offended, however:  "But Jilly Finch, 59, secretary of the local Shad Thames Residents Association, said the sculpture was 'violent'.  She said: 'It’s so in your face that people won’t be able to pass by or overlook it. It’s not something that promotes peace — it draws attention to violence.'"  Maybe it's just me, but people shouldn't just pass by or overlook it -- it's a reminder of the senseless violence and loss of life that day.
