On February 26, 1993 at 12:18 pm in New York City, the first call was received at the Central Office from a street alarm box at the corner of West and Liberty Streets. The call was reporting a possible transformer vault (or manhole) explosion on West Street near the World Trade Center. As manhole explosions are common in wet whether, there was no hint of a major catastrophe until the phones never ceased to ring after aid had arrived to the site. Numerous phone calls continued, now reporting smoke in the towers of the Trade Center as far up as the 33rd floor within the first three minutes of the explosion (http://members.aol.com/fd347/wtc.htm). The ceiling then collapsed in the train station, which

On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened.

Every American citizen can remember exactly where they were on the day September 11, 2001, this day was burned into the mind of American because the biggest terrorist attack in American history would occur. Two Boeing planes hijacked by a terrorist organization named al-Qaeda who would crash the planes into the world trades centers, sending America into shock(Pizzo,2016). There have been countless laws and regulations passed in America since the awful terrorist attacks on 9/11, has it been effective or a failure.

Byron was very mean to Byron in the beginning of the text. According to the text “Byron mumbled my name and I turned around to see why his voice was so funny and when I turned around Byron blasted me in the face with an ice ball.” Kenny thought that they were just having fun until it all went downhill when By blasted him back in the face with a mouth full of snow. According to the text “ Byron and Buphead each grabbed one of my arms and one

Near the end Kenny had been hiding and Byron found him, but he said he wouldn’t tell, but he did the right thing by telling his parents. Kenny told us, “Even though Byron had a reputation for not being a snitch, I got the feeling he snitched on me.” This was the right thing for Byron to do because his parents were concerned but thanks to Byron not as much. So he ended up helping out his

Following the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, Rescorla invited Hill to New York, where he hired him as a security consultant in order to assess the building 's security. Although no arrests had yet been made, Rescorla believed that the bomb had been planted by Muslims. Hill went undercover in several mosques throughout New Jersey, showing up for morning prayers at dawn. He took on the character of an anti-American Muslim, in order to interview the other visitors to the mosques. He concluded that the attack was likely planned by a radical imam at a mosque in New York or New Jersey. Followers of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric based in Brooklyn, were subsequently convicted of the bombing.

Byron is a mean boy who makes fun of younger boys. He is uncaring and doesn’t care about anyone except himself. He takes pleasure in hurting and making fun of boys. “ The only reason Byron and Buphead want to play is to do something rude”(9). He plays a blizzard game with Kenny in which he torments Kenny and gives him a grade. He purposely gives bad grades for doing one part of the game wrong. But Byron also has a good side in which he cares about his family and doesn't want them

He always picked on Kenny but now he’s actually giving him advice and caring for him. “Byron caught me and set me on the floor.” Before he would have just let him fall. “Byron sat next to me on the floor and put my head in his lap. I still couldn’t stop, even though I was soaking him worse than Joey ever drooled on anybody. It was real embarrassing. “I’m sorry, By.” “Shut up and if you want.” Byron cares for Kenny and let’s him cry so he would feel better. After all, they are brothers and care for each other. Maybe Kenny’s good actions changed Byron’s point of view because after all, people change people!

Boom. That is the sound of hearts falling and shattering with the walls of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building on April 19, 1995. No one anticipated the chaos that would break loose that morning. At the time, those who witnessed the tragic event were not aware of the cause. The only thing they knew was that blood had been spilled, and stained the innocence of mankind. Twenty-one years later, the memory of this disastrous event still burns and aches in the hearts of Oklahomans as well as the family and friends of the victims. Though cognitive and physical effects of the Oklahoma City bombing are permanent, humanity’s desire to do good and progress greatly overshadows it.

In school, Ricky was a good student academically, but was seen a behavior problem due to his ability to control his anger.
