The Vessel in Manhattan was always a zoo. Now it has a cage to match
Briefly

The Vessel, once a symbol of architectural ambition, now stands shrouded in metal mesh, reflecting the tragic history of four suicides since its opening.
Critics' fears about the potential for suicide were realized, with the sculpture's original high safety barriers never installed, despite the designer's recommendations.
Following the tragic death of a 14-year-old at the Vessel, there were calls for it to be turned into a memorial, but Related insists it’s still an essential NY experience.
Despite tragedies, Related's CEO claims the Vessel remains a highly desired attraction, citing quick sales of over 10,000 tickets shortly after reopening.
