Let the record show I've never actually been on an airplane where the flight attendants do any sort of safety demonstration at all. On Alitalia (in 2004 at least), there is a prerecorded message in 8 different languages and on Continental they show you a video.

Should be lovely. BCJ do excellent residences and are known for there meticulous details. The plan of this in particular reminds me a lot of the Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto Japan (plan above), especially the way the decks extend out of the end of the long bars of rooms.

@K5ING: hahahaha ha aha ha ha.

@camerondyke: its so futuristic!

We used to make our own in architecture school using xacto blades, squares of chipboard and hot glue. My god were they dangerous.

@Justin: I believe the lights are going to be permanently included in the memorial, to be turned on on special occasions. Even if they're not, this tribute is too poignant for them to stop doing once the permanent memorial is in place.
