    The combination of three major events going on around the turn of the twentieth century led to a massive change in the trajectories of the cities of Houston and Galveston. Many people are familiar with the death and devastation left behind by the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, less people, though, are familiar with the huge oil field that was found at Spindletop, 90 miles east of Houston near Beaumont, just a few months after the 1900 storm. One other key event that was going on was the clash the city of Houston had been having with Congress since the 1890’s, the city and Congressman Tom Ball had been trying to convince other members of Congress that Texas needed a more protected port, Houston, than Galveston’s exposed position no more than a few feet above sea level. Ball’s pleas did not carry much weight until the disastrous hurricane struck in September of 1900. Taking a closer look at all the players involved will give a better look at just how each of the events affected the towns.…

    Politics played a large role in terms of the slow, emergency response to the tragedy. Many politicians were interviewed and mostly claimed they were unaware of what had happened in New Orleans. What was even more shocking, was how long it took president Bush to become conscious of the issue. This happened on the fifth day after the hurricane. People were starving, searching for shelter and trying to find missing relatives. Some tried to leave the city, but were met by military men with guns, who had just instructed them to go back. These politicians were abusing their power and forgetting about what…

    The emergency responders that responded to Hurricane Katrina saved thousands of lives and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property. These men and women brought hope to a region devastated by one of the worst disasters in the history of the United States. However, the response to Hurricane Katrina was unsatisfactory by most people’s standards. This meager response greatly overshadowed the high-quality work that the emergency responders performed. The inadequate response can be attributed to each of the four different elements of an effective emergency response.…

    It was October 3rd 1993, and the D-Boys, Delta Company, were preparing themselves for a quick strike on a suspected house that could possibly be holding Aidid or several of his lieutenants. The mission was supposed to be a quick in and out, taking an hour to possibly 30 minutes or less. If everything was to go to plan the D-boys would have successfully grabbed and tagged Aidid and at least two of his lieutenants, and be back to eat supper and sleep comfortably in their beds. Because the mission was only to last a few minutes the Ranger’s supporting the D-boys instead of preparing for a long fight left behind vital night vision supplies and even water. This would result in trouble for the men entering into Mogadishu as the fight would not take 30 minutes, but would result in a long gruesome 15 hour battle.…
