I'd also like to point out the memorial to the 1991 fire at One Meridian Plaza, located in front of the Ritz Carlton Residences. All it is is three bronze fire helmets on a small stand with some nice words written beneath them. That's how a good memorial to a so-called "minor" tragedy should be. It's not taking up space, of course, because that's where the aforementioned Ritz-Carlton is and where the W will be, but it pays due respect to those three firefighters.
