This one week of new experience was totally enjoyable for all of us. Related to the time spent there‚ it was too short for us because we enjoy it too much. There we see how people of all nationalities live their life in a different way as we did.

In this case I am not talking about preventing the event from occurring but I am talking about preventing the tower from falling down. There are things that could have been done leading up to during and after the attack that would have prevented the towers from tumbling

On Heights By Jackson Downey Sitting on the ledge of the roof of their apartment‚ a couple admired the cityscape and high rises in the distance. The man‚ looking down‚ had a sudden urge to jump‚ and not only that but to push his love down to the pavement twelve stories bellow. Quickly‚ he shook off this odd crazing for a final skydive‚ but he wondered if she thought the same thing. Why had he thought of it in the first place? Not being a man to fear heights but certainly to fear the fall of

An open letter to our community: Many of us are aware of the risks of lead - based paint in older homes‚ gas leaks‚ contaminated water and all other chemicals with their contaminating affects on our health and our family’ s health and safety.

All I see now is rubble‚ rubble that used to be the World Trade Center also known as the Twin Towers. They collapsed because terrorists took over the planes and crashed into the towers. Many people died today‚ although if any one survived I highly doubt they will be the same. I highly doubt I will be the same. I
