We’ve all heard the wacky stories of folks calling 911 because they didn’t get enough cheese on their Subway sandwich, or because they were angry that a drug dealer/hooker/bookie ripped them off.
After a new interview with Men’s Journal, Mark Wahlberg is under fire for perhaps taking his own image as an action star a bit too seriously.
The Twin Towers were enormous buildings and the attacks of 9/11 were of such magnitude that people were able to see the skyline change from neighboring states and camera-equipped satellites were even able to capture the aftermath from space.
Peg Ogonowski’s late husband, John, was the captain of American Flight 11 — better known as the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
“It was that moment of before and after,” said Peg, a former flight attendant. “There was my whole life before and then everything changed. It was a real line in my life that there will always be before 9/11 and after 9/11.”
Well, I'm sure that we're all aware by now that the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 is this Sunday. I've heard it on the radio, seen it in the paper and watched on the TV. It brings back that day crystal clear to me.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, one of the largest American flags damaged during the attacks continued to fly above the resulting wreckage during the clean-up efforts.
Seven years later, that flag, dubbed the National 9/11 Flag, was sewn back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, and has also been stitched by World War II veterans, survivors of the Ft. Hood, Texas rampage, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s family.
In order to ensure that the civilians, police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2011, are not forgotten, the B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S. (Bikers Against Stupid Twits And Really Dumb Sh*ts) Riding Club is sponsoring the 6th Annual 9-11 Remembrance Ride on Sunday, September 11, 2011. In 2010, approximately 120 bikes and 175 motorcyclists participated.
These days, everyone's counting their pennies. So when 41-year-old Dexter White got ripped off in a crack cocaine deal this week, he called police to fix the problem.
The South Carolina man told police he had given $60 to a drug dealer for crack, but only received $20 worth of drugs.
