The amount of gum that is stuck on the seats, handrails, and windows is getting out of hand. People are constantly stepping in or sitting on wads of bubblegum and ruining some of their expensive work and/or street clothes. Along with the dirt and garbage piling up, another big problem begins to grow: rats. The NYC subways are
Tuberculosis, typhoid and cholera were diseases that developed in many cities killing thousands. Adding to these unbearable conditions, air pollution and malnutrition became a huge and deadly problem. Crime, Alcoholism and prostitution started becoming natural outcomes for individuals that were dealing with these ongoing problems. Also not only the living conditions were unlivable, working conditions were even worse. Depending on the hours throughout the workday, workers shifts could be doubled and workers could be working up to six days a week.

"I pick up the phone seeing my wife's caller id and I'm thinking it's not her, someone else has gotten a hold of her phone to reach me with the news, 'Hey your wife is dead,'" he continued.

9/11 On September 11th, 2001 the United States was changed forever. That morning, at 8:46 a hijacked plane controlled by Al-Qaeda terrorists crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Minutes later at 9:03, a second plane hit the South Tower. The city of lower Manhattan sprung into chaos. The buildings went up in flames as people attempted to flee from the ash, steel, glass, and bodies falling from above.
It then traveled through the D ring and into the C ring. CNN has some good footage from a security camera that captured the plane striking the ground. All 58 passengers, four flight attendants, and both pilots on board, as well as 125 occupants of the Pentagon, died. Although the blast from the plane and the toxic gas and heat from the resulting fire killed some people in their offices near the crash site, some people working inside the Pentagon that morning did not know that a plane had hit their building. Military and civilian personnel running up and down the corridors yelling for people to get out helped to save a lot of lives.
This may seem like an easy task, but in reality, is one of the hardest things to do. The sheer number of people packed into the coin laundry contributes to massive chaos. Individuals are conversing with others, people are impatiently waiting for me to insert quarters into their machines and walking through the cramped, humid building is a nightmare.

My legs ache from fours hours of walking around the building, I am drenched because of the high humidity caused by the machines, and I smell like a mixture of salty sweat infused with laundry
It was exactly as was projected. Right through the northern pass and hitting Wheeler Airfield and taking out the airplanes there. They also hit Hickman Airfield on the run into Pearl Harbor crippling more planes as they started their attack from the skies on the fleet in the waters. The backside of the island at Kaneohe Bay was also hit on a second run. During these attacks the use of the shallow running torpedoes took the sailors by surprise for sure and the Battleships began to take damage the horror of the day just seemed to get more vivid.
The beautiful city in north eastern Italy, made up of 118 small islands separated by canals and connected by bridges, cannot provide parks or relaxing areas because of its small size and its composition. This results in visitors resting and eating on bridges, narrow alleys, doorsteps and shop windows, obstructing even further of the already congested city. Similarly to Barcelona angry locals of Venice plastered the city with leaflets reading 'Tourists go away! You are destroying this city'. Majority of the tourists that visit Venice each day come via a cruise ship and visit for a day tour.
