In reply to the discussion: About that cross at Ground Zero... [View all]badtoworse
(5,957 posts)I worked there until June 2008 and I saw the cross almost every day. The cross in the pictures looks like the real cross to me, but in any case, the real cross belongs at the memorial.
If there is a bona fide question as to the authenticity of the cross at the memorial, that should resolved. As to whether the 9/11 cross belongs there, that question is not open to debate, at least not in my mind.
On edit, the two crosses are not the same. The second picture looks like the cross that stood for years at the pit. Given the amount of wreckage that was there, it's entirely possible that more than fragment of structural steel was found that was in the shape of a cross. There is no question, however, that a cross made of structural steel from the WTC stood at the site for years. That cross belongs at the memorial.
