---------------------------------- Mayor backs Ground Zero 'towers of light' memorial Oliver Burkeman in New York Friday March 1, 2002 The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0,3858,4365411,00.html
The disfigured skyline of Manhattan will recover some of its lost dignity later this month when two vast beams of light fill the hole once occupied by the World Trade Centre - but only until 11pm each night, and not when the weather is foggy.
New York's mayor, Mike Bloomberg, has indicated he will approve the plan to project two 50ft-wide sets of searchlights miles into the night sky for 32 days from March 11, six months after the twin towers were destroyed.

The federal aviation authority is demanding that the organisers of the memorial employ somebody to switch off the towers of light if pilots complain about the glare.
