Kaprun Funicular Memorial

To mark the fourth anniversary of the Kaprun funicular fire tomorrow Austrian President Heinz Fischer and other dignitaries will dedicate the memorial in a private ceremony with relatives of the victims. The memorial, costing some $463,000 is said to be elegant but sombre. It is a stone building with 155 glass columns, one for each of the skiers and snowboarders killed when fire engulfed a crowded alpine cable car on Nov. 11, 2000.
