Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile - Relief - PARIS-2018-62 by Andrew Priest, on Flickr
Inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome, Italy, the Arc de Triomphe has an overall height of 50 metres (164 ft), width of 45 m (148 ft), and depth of 22 m (72 ft), while its large vault is 29.19 m (95.8 ft) high and 14.62 m (48.0 ft) wide. The smaller transverse vaults are 18.68 m (61.3 ft) high and 8.44 m (27.7 ft) wide. Three weeks after the Paris victory parade in 1919 (marking the end of hostilities in World War I), Charles Godefroy flew his Nieuport biplane under the arch's primary vault, with the event captured on newsreel.
Some of you might have read the recent news story where 4 homeless men were murdered in Chinatown, NY, while they were sleeping in the street. Their heads were bashed in by another homeless person, an obvious mental case.
I was picking up my daughter from school in Chinatown today when I noticed this little memorial shrine, which had been placed at the spot where one man was murdered.
