The NY Times has some extremely well done interactive graphics describing different aspects of the terrorist attacks. Lasers have been used to make an accurate map of the WTC. On that page is a link to their multimedia features, and, if you aren’t overwhelmed with information already, I recommend taking a look at all the graphics they have created. After looking at the laser images, use the drop-down menu at the top of the window to view others. Meanwhile, back in Connecticut, my parents report that the total number missing or dead from my hometown is 15. And, less tragic, but a constant reminder of the terrible events, my parents are only receiving a few television stations. They don’t have cable tv and the transmission point for many New York stations was on the top of 1 World Trade Center (the north tower). As my dad said, they’re not going to find an equally tall place to put another antenna, so this could continue for a long time.
