'Rusting' 9/11 sculpture to be installed in Olympic Park

A sculpture made from a reclaimed World Trade Center girder that was left to rust in a Cambridgeshire farmyard will now be installed in the Olympic Park.

The sculpture honours the nearly 3,000 people, including 67 Britons, killed in the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

It was installed in Battersea Park but removed after one month, with attempts to install it elsewhere failing.

Following reports it had been left to rust, London mayor Boris Johnson said it would be found a permanent home.

One of the supporters of the project, Lord West, confirmed the sculpture had been left in an unnamed Cambridgeshire farmyard since it was removed from Battersea.

He said the girders were "sacred objects" in the US and only six pieces had been sent around the world.

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

Even fewer of my turds have been sent around the world. Could it be that they are '' sacred '' too?
And they don't even rust.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

They should melt it down and use it as part of the hull of the new aircraft carrier? Show some respect for the deceased. :coffee:

Some people might not want their dead relatives to be remembered in a war machine.
Not that I give a toss. Dead is dead.
