The strange event happened on October 29, 2026 on a cool autumn day in Station Square,

On January 15, 1919, one of the most tragic and strange disasters occurred in Boston, Massachusetts. It was around forty degrees that day, when two days previously it had been only two degrees. At 12:30 PM 2,300,000 gallons of molasses spilled into the streets near Keany Square after the tank holding it exploded, most think due to a combination of poor design and the drastic temperature flux. The aftermath was tragic, with twenty one deaths and one hundred and fifty injured. The company who owned the tank was quick to blame others, but soon it was found that the tank was poorly constructed, and if more time had been taken, the Boston Molasses Disaster would never have happened.

After a couple of hours, I decided to go home. As soon as I got there, there was a news truck pulled into my driveway. A tall lady with blonde hair and blue eyes asked me if she could give me and interview. "So what do have to say about the events that occurred today,"she asked." Well, I really am still trying to take all of this in," I said. "I never suspected this to happen, and I believe that we should be more prepared for if this should happen again." "It was less than a second, maybe half a second, but it changed

September 11th, 2001 left a huge impact on people’s lives all over the country. Michael Burke, a wall street journalist, discusses 9/11 in the article, “No Firemen at Ground Zero This 9/11?”. He expresses the bravery the first responders showed on the tragedy of 9/11. On the 10th anniversary, the firemen were not invited to ground zero to watch the remembrance ceremony. The committee that puts on the ceremony sent invitations to politicians, but not the firefighters who put their lives on the line to save others. They were told they could watch on TV instead. Burke is trying to show the businessmen of New York about how wrong not inviting the first responders was, he does this with his descriptive narrative and organizational structure.

Smoke and flames were spewing out of gaping holes bored by American Airlines’ Boeing 767 that crashed between the 93 and 99 floors on the North face of the 110- story building. Each of the North Tower floors were roughly an acre. The top 20 floors engulfed in flames, he was staring at a 20- acre fire raging 90 stories above. He thought in his head that, This is the most unbelievable sight I’ve ever seen. Meldrum parked the fire truck on the West Street in front of the

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).”

On the afternoon of March 25, 1911, a fire broke out in the 10-floor Asch Building, a block east of Manhattan's Washington Square. This is where 500 mostly young immigrant girls were producing shirts for the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. Within minutes, it spread to consume the building's upper three stories. Firemen at the scene were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders weren't tall enough. Exits were locked, and the narrow fire escapes were inadequate. Panicked, many jumped from the windows to their deaths. People on the street watched in horror. The flames were under control in less than a half hour, but 146 people perished, 123 of them women. It was the worst disaster in the city's history.

On September 11, 2001, catastrophe erupted in New York City, New York. This tragic event sparked a war, united a nation, and conceived various personal encounters from people whom were involved in the experience. In the short story “The Ashen Guy: Lower Broadway, September 11, 2001” Thomas Beller utilizes a chaotic tone that can be observed through his use of details, images, and diction.

April 15, 2013 for Nichole Bushdiecker was like every other day, but for others it felt like the end of the world. She was coming home that day from school when it came time for her to get caught up on her social media like she did everyday for the past few months of school. Everyday was the same old stuff, pictures of a field full of living plants with the sun rising in the background or a group of happy friends that took a picture after practice. That's when she saw it. Time stopped and she was at a stand still with her thoughts. “I remember I was a senior in high school and it was a normal day up until I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a picture that said ‘Pray for Boston’ and that’s when I knew something terrible had happened”.

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

The date was March 25, 1911. It was a particularly warm spring evening in New York City. Located in the heart of Manhattan the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was located on the last three floors of the Asch Building in the downtown area. The clock read 4:45p.m, fifteen minutes before the women working inside would be receiving their checks and then be let out for the night. Little did anybody know that in just a few short seconds it would be the site of the deadliest industrial disaster in the history of the city.

It is March 28, 1911, you wake up, make your coffee, and begin reading the newspaper, you notice a large printing at the top, reading, “148 leap to death or perish in fire.” As you read on, you come to realize that three days ago, women and men that lived on your street, are now dead due to a fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

In March 25,1911, blossomed into the kind of Saturday afternoon in early spring that gives rise to thoughts of a picnic in the park. But picnics were not part of the weekend routine for 600 people who work at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. “on March 26,1911 in New York. At 4:35 in the afternoon the fire springing from a source that no one knew it was coming from the rear of the Eighth floor on the Ten-story building at the North-west corner of Washington place and green streets. When the fired died down 154 men and women died in that horror”. But though some people think the factory owners are to blame for the deaths of 154 employees in the fire of 1911 because the trial revealed that the shirtwaist kings had been warned of the Hazardous

A Boeing 767 containing approximately twenty thousand gallons of jet fuel flew into the North tower of the World Trade Center in New York City on a pristine morning at 8:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001. The collision left a giant opening close to the eightieth floor of the one hundred ten story skyscraper, abruptly ending hundreds of people’s lives and trapping hundreds more in the floors above. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin- the South Tower- got underway by the local authorities, television news channels broadcasted live images of what at first appeared to be a freak accident. Then, eighteen minutes after the initial plane crashed into the tower, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply

Imagine that it is Spring and you are in Hardin, Missouri when the horrible nightmare happened! In nineteen ninety-three Hardin, Missouri got flooded and fifty-five thousand houses got flooded or completely destroyed. About half of one thousand five hundred seventy-six graves got swept away.

One hundred twenty nine skulls got buried in the fair grounds. Some bodies were so old that they could not put them together cause they were rotten! There were seven hundred ninety three bodies missing but the DMORT team found about
