Found this some time ago, I find this incredible
Flight 772 was a French airlines flight brought down by terrorists in 1989, over the desert in Niger. This is a vast desert, and the nearest civilization is some 140 miles away. Families of the victims trucked in black rock and other materials, and erected a huge memorial some 200 ft in diameter in the form of an airplane in a compass rose, which can be seen from space, and Google earth
Really, really, makes one pause......
