A LOT of people think Building 6-7 was demolished but if you watch the Modern Marvels special on engineering disasters you can see why the building collapsed so inwardly... It had to be build over a rail line and was much like a bridge inside with a critical central support in the middle, when that weekend from the fire it just went as their simulation showed.  

Sorry again for missing the log.  My home computer is just totally infected... Ug...  I have new editions of both of my books.  three new designs in the one - all octagonal and emergency-enhanced to shed the wind and allow people to cope with live in evacuees.  Anyway... Catch ya soon!
That is a very interesting form of producint Hydrogen.  I don't think its the silver bullet as the aluminum has to be recycled.  

Last week the Science channel had on a week long special on eco friendly ideas and I loved the one about the plasma torch to incinerate trash to break down molecules into atoms.  The process is not only self sustaining it can alcually earn money.  

Are you guys going to cover the first flight of the A380?  Here people were griping that it was 1% over weight but Boeings 787 is 2% overweight and is also slipping in its schedule.  I do love the 787, but fairs is fair and both companies deserve a lot of credit.
I'm not sure why (intuition?) but I'm getting a gradual feeling that central PA will get hit with a massive flood not seen since '72.  It may not be until october but...
