"Tribute in Light: A 9-11 Memorial in SL (Cetus)
(CETUS) - As night falls in Cetus this Thursday, September 11, "Tribute in Light," a replica of the glowing light beams that shone in RL New York in 2004, will glow brightly in the skies over Cetus Gallery District during a 24-hour memorial event and fundraiser to honor the firefighters, police, and emergency workers who gave their lives or were injured in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.The light towers were commissioned by Cetus founder Xander Ruttan, and constructed by Zachh Cale of Cetus-based Zachh Cale Gallery along with help from Supremious and Sensuous Maximus of SL's Builder's Brewery, based on the DIXON Perfect sim.
Interestingly, the 9-11 tribute isn't the only connection Cetus has with Ground Zero. The Beauchamp Building in Cetus, an iconographic structure due to its central location, height and distinctinctive bell tower reminiscent of the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, D.C., was conceived by Ruttan and built with a RL architect whose projects include rehabilitation of one of the buildings badly damaged when Tower 2 fell.
A daylong series of events will occur in Cetus to mark the 7th anniversary of 9-11.
