Bomb Blast Time Memorial

This memorial is a tribute to 9-11 by showing the younger generations, who weren't around or too young to remember, all about the terrorist attacks on 9-11. By displaying things found in the rubble at the Ground Zero Museum it shows a walk-through of what happened on that day. From the Ground Zero Cross to the names etched around the pools where the towers once stood, it's a remembrance striving to make sure we never forget what happened on the horrible

The horror does not stop after the initial recognition of the boom. Minutes after the bomb fire is spreading, the smoke is so thick it's hard to see, and of course, there are severely burned and wounded people just about anywhere you look. Our survivors spend the rest of their day helping and caring for other survivors, with absolutely no time to recover from what just happened. Whether that be running provisions to them, helping them find loved ones, or attempting to uncover them from the ruble- all the jobs were all equally forlorn.

April 19, 1995, 9:02 a.m: a bomb was set off beneath the Alfred P. Murrah Building. The bomb damaged the structural support beams and the Northern support columns. Half of the building collapsed. 168 people died (Cook 5). Eric McKisick, a district manager, recalls the incident, ¨I made an assumption that, hey, everybody is out, everybody is good, and I left at that point. It wasn't ´till much later that I saw the devastation and understood they didn't respond because they couldn't.” Not only were there a large number of casualties, 300 people were also injured, some of whom were physically impaired for the rest of their life. A child who was in the building at the time of the explosion states, “I have no recollection of that day, but I’m reminded everyday about it because of my breathing problems (Brandes, Heide, Schapiro).”

These memorials are in memory of the fallen soldiers and sometimes the soldiers that made it out alive.

Thirty people were killed instantly. Eight later died from their injuries and hundreds of others were injured. A majority of the persons killed were messengers making deliveries, stenographers, clerks, and brokers (Gross, 2001).The blast was so strong it sent debris soaring as high as 34 floors and derailed a street car one block over(Andrews, 2014). Buildings shook as their large windows burst inwards. Luckily, most of the occupants inside were spared

On April 15, 2013, Boston’s first attack on public citizens, in a long time. During this attack 3 civilians were killed and later on there was an officer shot by the suspect. There was also 264 people who were wounded during this time as well. All this was caused by two bombs that went off on Boylston Street each at different parts of the street. This was known as the Boston Bombing. Hello I’m Cameron Smith, our country has many monuments and memorials, all dedicated to people or events that would never be forgotten in America's history. On the dated listed above the Boston Bombing happened, which affected many people who lived in America. This is why I am proposing a new monument to honor all those people who risked their lives to go save others who, were injured. This monument would also honor those who lost their lives during this tragic accident. This monument would be built in Boston, near where the bombs went off.

A women by the name of Sheryl Ray witnessed this bombing happen. She claimed at 9:02 that day, “I glanced out of my office window for rain clouds, following what sounded like a very long and loud blast of thunder. The sunny sky I saw quickly contradicted what followed” (Ray). She had said the images were almost unbelievable because they looked so identical to a foreign war torn country (Ray). Ray being a nurse she was allowed into the site (Ray). She claimed, “After showing my business card to a police officer, I was allowed into the area. Hundreds of physicians and nurses, flanked by gurneys, wheelchairs, and medical supplies, stood anxiously outside the hospital’s emergency department waiting for yet another ambulance to arrive” (Ray). The first group of people she saw were the survivors all mangled and distressed, but she claimed they did not make a sound (Ray). This is because no matter how beat up or awful they looked, they were the lucky

The 9/11 Memorial is one of the biggest man-made waterfalls in North America. The 9/11 looks like a square pool with another pool but smaller with water running down the walls, to make it a waterfall. There are two pools that look identical that are in the same spot where the towers were. The twin towers, and the memorial are in New York City. The walls of the pools are made out of black granite. Each pool is about an acre in size and holds up to 480,000 of recycled water. 9/11 Memorial is not only a beautiful pool itself but is also surrounded by trees.

A monument is an solid, carved in statue that is an representation of a person or event that has made an remarkable time in the past. However, there are many different ways to remember a person or event. Memorializing an person or event is a great way to preserve history; because everyone agrees to enormous expensive statue is more entertaining than reading a boring textbook about the person or event. As a matter of fact, every person in American can not remember every person or event in history because there isn’t enough time and space for that. Therefore, a group or agency should consider the three main factors, size, location, and materials when planning or creating an memorial monument of an important person or event.

At 9:03 a.m. a massive bomb resting inside a rented Ryder truck destroyed half of the nine story federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. Within moments, the surrounding area looked like a

“McVeigh and Nichols had publicly expressed strong opposition to the federal government” (Funk and wagnalls new world encyclopedia, 1). They were both so mad at the government for things that they could not control. They could have acted differently about the whole situation but sometimes people get so mad that they do not think straight. As a result from the bombing we have a memorial that stands where the federal building used to stand. The memorial consists of the gates of time, the reflection pool, the survivor wall, and the field of empty chairs.

The damages were catastrophic as houses lay in ruin and debris littered the roads. There were mudslides and fallen rocks that paved the roads and made them impassible for vehicles to get through. Ultimately by the roads being clogged up the response time by rescue workers and essential personal were hampered. This also made it exceptionally difficult for supplies to be rushed to the locations for the earthquake survivors. As some were digging and excavating for survivors they were being halted by aftershocks and falling debris from above. Approximately 8000 people were killed either by their houses caving in or by the other disasters this earthquake triggered. It was a real life tragedy that

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is a monument that stood out the most to me while visiting Washington D.C with my fellow nursing students. Residing on the National Mall, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and south of the Reflecting Pool, the Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated to the 5.8 million Americans that served and sacrificed in the Korean War. During its relatively short duration from June 25, 1950 to July 27, 1953, 36,374 Americans died in battle at the Korean War theater. In addition, 103, 284 were wounded during the conflict. The Korean War is noted as one of the most hard fought battle in our history. The U.S Congress approved the construction of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in 1985. It then broke ground on June 14, 1992 and on July 27,1995, The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated. Cooper-Lecky Architects were responsible for the design of the memorial, as they oversaw collaboration between several designers. The most notable of these designers was Frank Gaylord, who is known for being responsible of the 19 stainless steel statues one can see in the park at any time of day.

The ruins is more of a correct term. From where they were it was just piles of rubble. Most of the roads were completely destroyed. Shells of cars were everywhere. They weren’t even there yet and the damage was so bad.The chances for survivors were minuscule. The chances they would come out without some sort of serious damage even more so. Quietly Montag spoke to himself, mumbling what had happened to Millie and everyone else that was just there, a few days ago. “Looks like you weren’t the only one that gave this city ashes Montag.” Granger jokes. “It seems i’m not the only one. Everything is gone.” Montag said shallowly. Even though this city was the same city that tried to kill him. It was all he knew. They would begin the search tomorrow. They were doubtful, yet they knew that if there were survivors, they would be needed more than ever. They sat and talked outside the city till dusk. Quietly they all settled down by a fire. They turned on the little screen to watch and see the reaction of the nation. “War has begun! Cites are being bombed left and right. So far Detroit, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and New Orleans have fallen victim to these attacks! Never fear

One alternative might have been to arrange a demonstration of the bomb. On a different note, a survivor from the bombing recalls, “I was three years old at the time of the bombing. I don’t remember much, but I do recall that my surroundings turned blindingly white, like a million camera flashes going off at once. Then, pitch darkness. I was buried alive under the house, I’ve been told.
