We have not ever been able to control, fire (such as lava), or water (such as tsunami), or the earth (such as earthquakes), and there are many more that I have not named. The story “ Mountain of Fire” shows that, through a day of fire and destruction. If something hasn’t happened in a long, long time we tend to forget it can happen or will happen. That is what happened to the people that were around Mount St. Helens. I mean they even called it a Mountain because it has been so long scene the Volcano erupted that they forgot it was even a volcano. People tend to be attached to disaster or bad thing that have happened in our world. I wonder why? I think some of the reason people

    On August 5, 1949, a wildfire overran 16 smokejumpers and firefighters in Mann Gulch on the Helena National Forest in Montana. The fire was most likely started by lightning from a thunderstorm. It was noticed promptly by rangers, who dispatched 16 smokejumpers, under the command of Wagner Dodge. Thought to be much smaller than it actually was, the fire quickly grew large and out of control, covering 3000 acres in 10 minutes during its blow up stage. Upon approaching Mann Gulch, the crew noticed the fire had already crossed onto their side of the gulch. Seeing the extreme danger in this, the order to retreat back up the slope was given and the men moved up the hill. Dodge later gave the order for the men to drop their pack…

    The title of the documentary I watched is “Triangle Fire” it was made February 28, 2011 about the massive Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 that killed 146 people. The thesis of this film is mainly taking a look into the working lives of immigrants in the early 1900’s. The filmmaker’s agenda was apparent in this film and it was to expose the working conditions, and lives of these workers at the time to ensure the viewer would know the corruption that was at hand with the private industry of American factories. This film wanted to convey the message that the working conditions in factories in these times were unacceptable and they led to the biggest work related tragedy in that city to date. This film is accurate because it covers all the historical evidence that’s needed to show its viewers what the working condition were that…

Three key figures constantly referred to within the novel include Erasmus, Martin Luther, and Ferdinand Magellan. All three men are responsible for Europe’s entrance into a modern era of reformation, knowledge, and discovery, and are widely considered to responsible for the development of the humanist philosophy.

Todd Willingham, the father of three little girls, was ultimately charged, tried, and convicted of murdering his daughters by means of arson. The date of the fire was December 23, 1991, and he was finally executed by lethal injection on Feb 17, 2004. The circumstances surrounding this case were and still are controversial to this day. Opponents on both sides continue to voice their opinions on whether or not the state of Texas executed a man for a crime that they could not prove was a crime. As a father of two daughters myself,…
