Iconic World Trade Center Sphere to Be Homeless

An iconic World Trade Center artifact is about to be homeless, forced to move from its post-attack home but unwanted by the official memorial at Ground Zero.

FOX News Radio’s Lisa Brady reports:

What’s known as “The Sphere,” a bronze sculpture that survived 9/11 largely intact, went from being an interim memorial in the months after the attacks, to a monument, dedicated by officials from dozens of nations in 2002.

But in the coming weeks, the 45,000-pound sculpture has to move and make way for renovations in the park where its been displayed. �The gas line that fuels its eternal flame, turned off. �

“The Sphere” is not part of the World Trade Center memorial plans, despite thousands of petition signatures gathered by 9/11 families.
