I saw something on this topic a few weeks ago. They interviewed the designer who is apparently a God loving American. From what I recall, the rim of the memorial borders the rim of the crater.
But, really, if this was just a coincidence why wouldn't they simply draw up something new?
I have seen the movie "United 93" twice, and many documentaries on the passengers. These brave heros deserve something much better.
This has been a controversy for two years. It isn't just a coincidence. Architects are attuned to symbolism and the “meaning” of structures. It is their business to take drawings and, ultimately, wood, glass, and stone, and create meaning out of it. That this design is in some way accidental or coincidental is goofy. This is obviously the creation of a bleeding heart liberal as symbolic of “peaceful Islam” healing and bonding with those slaughtered for Allah.
I thought this was kiboshed a long time ago. I had posted this in 2005 here and here and thought the plan was scrapped (don't remember where I read that though).
I sure hope this isn't going to happen, just like the disgraceful 9/11 "Memorial" in Phoenix, AZ...

No way, that can't be. I can't imagine the families going for that!
Ugh.
