Structural Damage to the Financial District
An anonymous submitter sent in a couple of links to damage reports on the World Trade Center complex - a nifty 3D map of the center and surrounding areas showing which buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and a discussion of how exactly they're going to excavate the below-ground area of the complex considering that it is below sea level.
I agree with your sentiments. It's not "nifty"... it may be interesting, but "nifty" is a bit jovial, considering what it's a diagram of.
"Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives" should be a convenience store, not a government agency.
It's nifty because it lets you look to exact what got damaged (and how badly). There was no carnage in the map, just an informative illustration.
i am really surprised that these graphics werent available earlier.
in this age of instant this and instant that, i had sorta expected to see this all tuesday night. not that i really wanted to.
i dont know about you, but my friends and i keep trying to use local buildings to imagine the enormity of what happened. aka, we have this 50 odd floor tower here in minneapolis, and it amazes us constantly that it would take about 10 of those to fit into the 3 major WTC buildings that fell. freaky stuff.
Sorry, would you prefer "neat-o"?
How is it nifty? It makes it sound like it's cool looking at the destruction and the rubble of buildings that approximately 6,000 people died in. I just hope people will remember everyone that died before calling this sort of thing cool. Please take a moment of silence to remember those who died.
God bless America.
