The Sphere

We passed this globe last time we were in Battery Park but didn't really reflect much over its condition. This time we stopped to read the sign which said that that the sculpture "The Sphere" stood in the plaza of the World Trade Center for three decades as a symbol of world peace and was damaged on September 11, 2001. It was placed in Battery Park on March 11, 2002 as a temporary memorial to all who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.
