The worst day of my life...

[CQB]

...is now a tourist attraction.
So profoundly moving.
"Nearly 13 years after my sister’s death, a reluctant Sunday visit to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, where public spectacle and private grief have a permanent home together."

Crappy day for many, can not imagine losing a family member.

I worked in the Financial District for a while... I had to walk through (WTC Subway stop) or around 'the hole'... And now they've slicked it up to this? WOW.

I know, it's hard to fathom. Entry price and gift shop. There's no emoticon for how I feel about that.

Arizona memorial's free.

I went to a memorial service at the WTC site with one of the rescue workers (an absent member of SS) he was turned away from the service because he wasn't family of the fallen. The service is a fucking political disgrace IMO. Add to that the "Truthers" picketing the site telling all that pass that "Bush did it"... I won't go to another.

Arizona memorial's free.

I could be wrong, but I thought I had to pay to get into that It's also full of giggling Japanese tourists...

I should add that the WTC memorial is free. I haven't been to the museum.

My brother reminded the giggling tourists that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the end result, they stopped giggling.

Thanks, I wasn't quite sure. I went through some kind of check in thingy I thought... but I don't really remember that part.
