(Since the mainstream media is "all anti-American/bad news, all day, all the time," this hasn't shown up in the mainstream press, so I'm posting it here).
Grief Tear Memorial
Siberian News Online ^ | September 12, 2006 | N/A
The "Grief Tear" Memorial to the victims of 9/11 terrorist attacks made by Russian artist and sculptor Zurab Tsereteli opened to state anthems of Russia and the USA in Bayonne, New Jersey, on September, 11.
The "Grief Tear" Memorial, situated on the bank of the Hudson River, is a split 30-meter bronze plate with a giant tear made of titanium. The names of almost 3 thousand people killed on September, 11, 2001, are engraved on the monument. The memorial is the gift of Russian people, so Zurab Tsereteli and his colleagues paid all the expenses to ship it to the US.
