Did any of you watch the program about the world trade center on September 11th? It was a story about a man who worked at the world trade center and was the head of some large organization and he had predicted the attack on the buildings. He had pushed for safety measures and safety features and on the day of the attack he successfully managed to get his people out of the building but lost his own life trying to save others. Of course America had not been attacked on her own soil prior to 9-11 but it amazes me just the same that the designers of the building did not at least consider the possibility of attack if for no other reason than fire being a great possibility. Everybody knows that tall buildings are notoriously famous for taking many life's in the event of fire since there are no ladders tall enough for fire rescue! It was such a tragic loss of life and if the building had been better designed with safety in mind it could have better withstood what happened and held up better to allow people to get out in time....
