Pretty Cool Memorial of Downed Airliner

It's in the Google Earth Database. Put UTA Flight 772 Niger in the Google Earth search box to be taken there.

Interesting and effective.
 
Back before the religious extremists took over that part of Africa, you could travel to the Tenere desert by driving down through Morocco and Algeria. I believe that the Tenere itself is still reasonably stable, but getting there is a bit of a challenge with the political instability in the area. The memorial sure looks like a place worth a visit.
 
Do they realize in a few short years the entire memorial will be covered in sand?
