Best and Worst 9/11 Tributes

Some of the most wonderful and most wacky 9/11 tributes.

Best: National September 11 Memorial and Museum - Although not without its share of controversy, the 9/11 Memorial being constructed at Ground Zero, the site of the original World Trade Center, promises to be an awe-inspiring tribute to the victims of the tragedy. The 16-acre memorial site will be home to a museum, two large waterfalls and reflecting pools and over 400 trees.(Photo: REUTERS/MIKE SEGAR/LANDOV)
Worst: Twin Towers Beijing, China - Beijing built its replicas of the Twin Towers before the Sept. 11 attacks, but when New Yorkers caught wind of the towers just before the Olympic games were scheduled to begin in 2008, tempers flared. The towers are a part of the New York exhibit in Beijing’s World Park, but since New York no longer has the towers, some say Beijing should get with the times.(Photo: REUTERS/Wilson Chu)
Best: Twin Towers, Bronx, NY - New York City transit worker Matt Galcik wanted to take memorializing the victims of September 11 into his own hands, so he built a 12-foot replica of the towers in the backyard of his Bronx, New York, home.(Photo: New York Daily News)Worst: 9/11 Wine - Long Island vintner Lieb Cellars is selling a special wine that it boasts is made from grapes grown “90 miles from the site of the World Trade Center.” Although Lieb claims that 6–10% of proceeds go to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, many New Yorkers aren’t feeling the idea of getting drunk from the memories of September 11.(Photo: LiebCellars.com)
