I know the emergency services in NY have helicopters. Just shortly after the first strike (I saw the whole thing on TV virtually as it happened) the commentator wondered why the emergency services didn't have any helicopters up there. I have never heard the question raised since.
Yes, I know that heat rises, and before too long the heat and lack of visibility would have made helicopter use very problematic. But I've seen helicopters waterbombing fires in California from little more than tree height, so why wasn't the attempt made at least at the start?
The crews might witness ugly scenes as people fought to get on, but that never stopped them in Saigon in 1975.

for example: 911 attack. how many terrorists were there on the plane? i say 6 (forgot how many) so anyways, people dont wanna die, but because of their fear they cause thousands more to die. 1-20 men/women can rise up and attack the terrorists leaving the plane under no threats and 911 would have never occured. now when no one fights back, more people died. do u see this pattern? the bloodshed that is being cause NOW will prevent further blood from spilling in the future. that is my philosophy. same thing with the jewish in WWII. the population of the jewish overwhelm the nazis in 1 camp. so what is the germans got guns, its worth killing themselves if they know they r going to die anyways. never die without a friggen fight!!! (getting carried away, o well)

World War I had other names (The Great War and The War To End All wars) before it got the name "World War I", which makes sense only in the context of concluding that the war that became known as World War II was the second world war. So when and how these names came about? I posted this question on the discussion pages of Wikipedia and so far there is no answer.

In my quest for tasteful and artfully done photography/ paintings featuring women, I have become very frustrated. It's difficut to cut through and avoid the pornography.

I am a huge fan of talents such as Judy Francesconi and Tanya Chalkin. Can anyone suggest other artists such as these in the fields of photography and painting?

Thank you....

This is a poem that I just wrote tonight about my first love. Tell me what you think, guys. I think it's really good.

Inspiration is over-rated
When my willowing heart
Is turning as black
As the ashes composing
Our shredded romance
That fell to the ground
That sweet summer night,
That stopped beating and died.
The ashes are slipping
Through our bloody fingers
And time is precious.
Can we make this right?
Can we repair our burden?
We could make things
How they used to be.
Crawl into memories,
Stay clinging to yesterday
As the mockingbird
Sings sweet serenades.
Kisses of death
Can't stop us now-
We already died
That sweet summer night.
And if you hide behind your mask,
Our future can never be our past.

Everyone has taken a best picture; that one shot that made your day; that one picture that made you jump for joy. What is on it? When did you take it? Can we view it on the internet and if so: where?

My best shot was a picture of a whale, fliping its tail up. It took my breath away, and when I saw the result I was in heaven! http://africa-in-pictures.blogspot.com/2006/04/nature-photography-water-creatures.html

I am doing my senior project on black and white photography, and I was wondering if there are any good sites out there that offer techniques, or information about the history of photography.

Just to clear this up for everyone, I am NOT trying to get someone else to do the work for me, and I am NOT being lazy, I'm just looking for suggestions.

Thanks!
