Barcelona World Race

I find this facinating, these 12 60 foot sailboats are in the middle of racing around the world. My favorite teams are Estrella Damm (becasue it is named after a spanish beer), Neutrogena (because it has the only American in the race) and GAES Centros Auditivos (because it is crewed by two women, the only women in the race)

9/11 Families Ask: What Happened to the Third Building That Collapsed in the WTC Attacks?

9/11 Building 7

I had no idea until today that 3 buildings, not just the two trade towers "pancaked" into nothing on September 11, 2001. The third building, building #7 stood until 5:00 PM that day, then pancaked into nothingness. It was not hit by an airplane or debris and was not heavily damaged. Look at the videos of the collapse. If you are like me, it will give you chills and remind you of the many planned demoltions you have seen in Las Vegas and other cities.
