Buildings of Disaster
http://www.mossonline.com/asp/productshow.asp?prd_id=1026&pc_parent_id=151
Website that sells replicas of the Texas A&M Bonfire as it collapsed, as well as replicas of other disaster sites such as: the Unabomber's cabin, Texas schoolbook depository (where the shots that killed President John F. Kennedy were fired), the Pentagon and World Trade Towers (September 11, 2001), Chernobyl, The Dakota (where John Lennon was killed), and others. Quote: "Souvenirs are important cultural objects that can store and communicate memories, emotions and desires. Buildings of Disaster are miniature replicas of famous structures where some tragic or terrible events happened to take place. The images of burning or exploded buildings make a different, populist history of architecture, one based on emotional involvement rather than scholarly appreciation. In a media-saturated time, world disasters stand as people's measure of history, and the sites of tragic events often become involuntary tourist destinations."
