Philadelphia sculpture predicted 9-11???

[Thunder]

I saw this sculpture in 2004 before my infection with 9-11 truther nuttyness. But this time, I saw the CT in it.

Notice how the "building" collapses at a point similar to where Tower 2 collapsed. Interesting huh?

;)

What is this and where can I get a picture?

[Thunder]

its some sort of sculpture in Philly on Market street. right next to the big mall thing.

Google street view has Philadelphia on it. If you can see it from the middle of the street, maybe there is a shot of it on there? I didn't see it, but I'm not sure where on Market to look.

Being from Philly, I know that sculpture.

It's called "Burst of Joy". It's from the '70s. 1977, I think. The guy who did it, Harold Kimmelman, has something like a dozen sculptures around the city.

You need some other pictures, as you'd see that the corner on the side facing you is bent, but not broken. Kind of like how something "burst" from the tube.

It's at the Gallery at Market East. I know the place well, because of the proximity of the Reading Terminal Market.

Here's the sculptor's site and explanation:

ETA:

It's at the corner of Market and 9th, if memory serves. For all you looking on Google.

Ok, it seems to be at about 920 Market Street at a mall called the Gallery, but the google street view is blocked by a tree :(

Move closer to Market Street.

And you'll never see the whole thing. There are parts of the sculpture inside the Gallery.

At the intersection of Market and 9th, point north on 9th, click toward the traffic lights and underpass. Turn left (west) it's there. Not a very clear pic. And not as tall as I'd imagined from the OP. What metal it made of?

Does the sculpture have any connections with the Illuminati or Larry Silverstein?

Stainless steel. Polished, of course.

The base is a big polished block of a dark stone. Something like granite or marble, I forget which.

Ah, checking my link, it says the base is black granite.

Clearly proof that a smaller part C cannot crush down a larger part A, but will instead perch itself there on top of A...

i wonder if therm*te was used in its creation.
