It's a dirty game out here. > Hello, my name is, um, John? Hector? Or is it Edgar? And I'll be your server tonight. > > An Arab banquet waiter at the legendary Waldorf-Astoria hotel says he was forced to wear different name ST. LOUIS (AP) — Debris from splintered homes covered the ground in neighborhoods around St. Louis, while topped trees and overturned cars littered lawns and driveways. Looking down, the dining room table and other contents could be seen, damp in lingering rain. Amid such devastation, officials appeared awed that a tornado that roared through the area Friday night, striking the airport and several nearby suburbs, hadn't seriously injured anyone. With the din of chain saws and pounding hammers in the background, homeowners sifted through wreckage while crews scrambled to restore power to the 31,700 customers still without it. The domed design of the main terminal, dating to the mid-1950s, was the handiwork of Minoru Yamasaki, the Modernist architect of New York City's World Trade Center twin towers toppled in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Crosswinds of 80 mph buffeted one plane that was taxiing in from a landing when the tornado hit, and that plane was being checked for possible damage to its landing gear, spokesman Ed Martelle said. INDIANAPOLIS -- Two 22- foot-long steel support beams from the World Trade Center's twin towers are headed to Indianapolis to form the centerpiece of a downtown 9/11 memorial.

The result of a filmmaking journey into living history, the story of REBIRTH follows the transformation of five people, over the course of 10 years, whose lives were forever altered on September 11, 2001 - and simultaneously tracks, via unprecedented multi-camera time lapse photography, the evolution of the space where the Twin Towers once rose over lower Manhattan. Whitaker seamlessly weaves these personal stories of hope and healing and reveals a universal truth, one which shows human beings will overcome and aspire to renewal, even when the very fabric of their lives has changed. Oscilloscope will release REBIRTH in theatres in August 2011. SHOWTIME will broadcast REBIRTH on the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11th. The film as well as other original programming created by the REBIRTH team will eventually be housed at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum located at Ground Zero. All proceeds from REBIRTH will go to the Project Rebirth Center to develop and provide new multi-media tools to aid the therapists, academics, first responders ... The ceremonial opening of the twin towers on April 4, 1973, marked seven years of construction that transformed New York. They're almost twins: 6-feet-11, 34 years old, consummate pros. While their demeanors seem yin to yang, both Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan must step up if their teams hope to run long into the playoffs. Opposition to Miya Ando's Thameside 9/11 sculpture is understandable, but civic monuments have a wider import In May 1504, a colossal statue carved by the young Michelangelo was moved through the streets of Florence towards its chosen site in the political centre of the city. Mysterious assailants, perhaps supporters of the then- exiled Medici family, threw stones at it under cover of darkness. Public art has been controversial ever since David was stoned. When a work of art is exhibited in a space defined as "public" rather than "private", its meanings change; it can assume a new kind of power or suffer a new kind of disgrace. Over time, it tends to become part of the local scenery – a generalisation to which David is an obvious exception. But when an artwork is new it can generate controversy that seems inexplicably intense, sometimes tearing down the barrier between fine art and real-life emotions. There is such a dispute about a planned monument in London to the victims of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. The 9/11 monument designed by Miya Ando has been deferred after objections by British relatives of people who died in ... Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld tells CNN's Piers Morgan where he was the moment the twin towers were hit. Educational charity's riverside art installation using steel girders from the Twin Towers on hold after being branded 'disrespectful' An educational charity has shelved plans to erect a sculpture beside the Thames using girders from the World Trade Centre after opposition from British families who lost relatives in the 9/11 attacks. The artwork by the New York-based artist Miya Ando, which was intended to be a permanent structure, had received planning permission from Southwark council and was to be unveiled in Potters Fields in September, to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that destroyed the twin towers. Ando said she wanted to create "a meditative environment" from the girders. "The columns will remain in their current, unchanged form, thereby presenting the material in a pure and honest manner," Ando said on the project's website. "It is my hope that by standing upright the fallen steel columns, I may evoke a quiet yet strong message of transcendence, and the role of education in the growth of hope from tragedy. It is my hope that this sculpture will stand as a beacon for the educational programme." But since hostility to the artwork emerged last month at ... Police helicopter video of World Trade Centre collapse is released almost 10 years after terrorist attack Previously unseen footage of the 9/11 attacks, filmed from a police helicopter hovering above the burning World Trade Centre, has emerged almost a decade after the terrorist atrocity. The New York Police Department air and sea rescue helicopter was dispatched to the scene of the attack to see whether any survivors could be rescued from the rooftops. However, as the audio track proves, its crew quickly realised the enormity of the situation below. "The whole tower, it's gone," one officer is heard yelling. "Holy crap, they knocked the whole fricking thing down." Another officer asks: "How could it go down?" The video is part of a cache of information about the attack handed over by city agencies to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency that investigated the collapse. It was released by NIST on 3 March under a Freedom of Information Act request, but it remains unclear who published the footage online. Although many of the scenes in the 17-minute video are familiar, it provides a chilling aerial view of the burning twin towers and the cloud of smoke ... Previously unseen images of the burning World Trade Centre filmed on 11 September 2001 from a police helicopter Nearly a decade after Sept. 11, aerial footage shot from an NYPD helicopter has been released showing the burning twin towers. Katie Couric reports.
