A church directly to the east of ground zero in lower Manhattan was encircled with mementoes left by visitors from around the world.  The make-shift memorial nearly encompassed an entire city block.  On The Death 2ur's 2002 visit we even found a banner from our home state of Minnesota. 

"The Sphere" is a sculpture by German artist Fritz Koenig.  It was originally situated in Austin J. Tobin Plaza between the twin towers of the World Trade Center.  It somehow survived the collapse of the buildings with, considering the monumental force with which the towers fell, relatively limited damage.  The above photo is that of the sphere before the attacks.  The damaged sphere (photo to the left), is now part of a memorial to the victims in its new location in Battery Park.
