Mitchell Dumser Ms. Smith ENG 102 20 October 2014 World Trade Center Collapse Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? On September 11th, 2001 terrorists attacked America. These attacks not only shook the foundation of two of our tallest buildings, but they shook the lives of every American. This debate should be rather interesting because we may have been affected by these attacks or know someone who might have had family in New York that fateful day.

Sally Blandenburg Professor Primuth U.S. History 2112 Mon/Wed 2-3:20 November 15, 2012 The Triangle factory fire was a major disaster in 1911 in New York, falling behind the General Slocum fire in 1904, and the World Trade Center in 2001, which sparked legislation to enforce improved safety standards and better working conditions for factories and sweatshops.

On September 11, 2001, The United States of America and the whole world witnessed the most extreme terrorist incident ever committed on U.S. soil. It was perpetrated by Muslim extremists using commercial airliners as projectiles of destruction. The attacks on September 11, 2001 left nearly three thousand people dead.

Remembering September 11, 2001 By Mara Miller On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four U.S. airliners: two destroyed the Twin Towers in New York City, one damaged the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This book traces the events of that day, gives the historical background, and outlines the steps taken in response so that readers will gain understanding of the horrific attacks and their consequences. A generation of children has been born since the World Trade Center Towers and the Pentagon were destroyed, and Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Nearly a decade has passed since “9/11,” but America is still reacting to the events of that day. In the immediate aftermath, a spate of juvenile books were immediately
Oregon State Capitol Jessica Ridderbusch Arts/100 11/26/2012 Doris Doyon `Oregon State Capitol After a lot of thought and consideration of the different buildings and attractions here in the Willamette Valley, I have decided to discuss our very own State Capitol. On the night of April 25, 1935, the capitol was destroyed by a fire that speeds quickly from the bottom story up through dome-supporting column shafts. An investigation determined that the fire was accidental and that it originated in the storeroom-service area in the basement of the east entrance wing.

Morgan Inc. at 23 Wall Street, killing 38 and injuring 300 people.Built in 1914, 23 Wall Street was known as the "House of Morgan" and for decades the bank's headquarters was the most important address in American finance. At noon, on September 16, 1920, a bomb exploded in front of the bank, killing 38 and injuring 300. Shortly before the bomb went off a warning note was placed in a mailbox at the corner of Cedar Street and Broadway. While theories abound about who was behind the Wall Street bombing and why they did it, after twenty years investigating the matter, the FBI rendered the file inactive in 1940 without ever finding the

They ran the latent fingerprint in 1989 but it came back with no match. It wasn’t until later on that he was called back for trial charged with four counts of murder for a fire
