MIT Students Place Fire Truck on Dome to Honor Sept. 11


MIT's Latest "Hack" for 11 September, 2006.


An AP newswire article, via The Boston Globe, reports that:

Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology looked to a long-standing tradition to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorists attacks Monday.

They put a fire truck on top of the school's 150-foot high Great Dome, a central feature on the campus that has been a stage for student and alumni pranks -- known as "hacks" -- since at least the 1920s.

A student Web site referenced by the MIT Museum describes Monday's tribute as a 25-foot-long fire truck with the phrase "memininum," Latin for "we remember," painted on the truck's side.
