When we will learn to have proper blending of environment and economy? In developed countries country grow and in our case people become rich at the cost of country's value and life of people.
Have these steel memebes been tested to verify whether their capacity not been compromised by the blast and collapse. What if these members have already been stressed past their loading capacity - wouldn't the buildings which were built with these compromised scraps, collpse also??? Is it just me - isn't anyone bothered about the use of such scraps in building construction?
Indians and in particular South Indians can build houses even with American shit! Except that whatever they build does not have the basic liberal values that American society is build upon.

Hey This was not a Shame to Build Houses from the destroyed Steel....but you should have the shame to Pin point a particular community....South Indians are mot Intelligent any othet Community in the World.....Shame Shame to Indians like you.....
Such is the cycle of destruction and rebirth. From the rubble, ashes and destruction arose new memorials.
It would be appropriate if a plaque or a monument was placed at these new buildings commemorating their significance.
And it is disheartening to hear that the quality of a 35 year old, crumpled and destroyed mass of American steel is superior to a brand new Indian counterpart. Indian industrialists should be ashamed of this
Recent health hazard findings at ground zero, post 9/11

One of the recent news programs during the 9/11 anniversary here in US has been about the negligence of the city officials and the EPA in properly assessing the health hazard around the ground zero site, following the collapse of the towers. Infact, a number of people involved in the clean up activity at the site have been affected, including the then deputy mayor of NY city. At least 2 deaths are believed to be of direct consequence of the health hazard at the site, and a number of other people are suffereing from a variety of respiratory illnesses, from brochitis to cancer. Most of these findings are recent, in the last year or so. Though I am not sure if the debris material had been tested recently, but I can't help but wonder what the findings would be if we did the same. -Srinivas
