    London unveils memorial for 9/11 | The Sun |News

    What do you think? Personally I find it extremely unattractive and think it brings the focus on the material damage that was caused and not the people that were lost. Hope they didn't pay too much for it.......

    2 planes .... 3 buildings fell?

    building 7 .... it was brought down with explosives and was not even mentioned in the official 9/11 investigation .... the whole thing was a scam and it was not orchestrated by some dude sitting in a cave

    the pentagon plane .... there was no plane wreckage found there ... and that is info from people who visited the site on the same/next day

    it's sad how people can be conned

    I personally believe America did it. I don't believe a plane of that size would have brought down 'the world's tallest buildings'.

    Having said that, I doubt America will be erecting a statue for the London bombings any time soon.

    The memorial they put up was for the UK people that were killed in the attack not for America. As for the conspiracy theories, I won't go into that.

    Ah - there's nothing like a good 'conspiracy theory'.

      Firstl thoughts, can I say, if that's a memorable sculpture, the bloke that made it is con artist rather than a real artist.

      I can just imagine the likes of Boris thinking how great it looks.
      How did that comedian get the job anyway.(Boris that is)

        Just had a quick look at the video about conspiracy, how the hell did that bunch of idiots survive the trip.

        Most look like they were only kids when it happened, things look very different when your just a kid.

        So you believe the London bombings were real? or did the British Government set them up?

        It strikes me as a bit morbid, dragging over a lump of scrap metal and making something ugly out of it :scratch:

          You will obviously get the members of "The Kings New Clothes Society" staring at it for a looooong time and then saying "Hmmm, yes I can see what the artist is trying to convey, if you look at it from this angle..."!!! before they wander off to Tate Modern to stare at a brick wall and an unmade bed!!!! :loll::loll:

            Before making comments like these you should be aware of the audience out there' Did you witness the event or have I and millions of others missed something.
