picket 9/11

     The new World Trade Center is using a new kind of concrete called icrete, this will give the building more strength and more stability than the old building or any other building around. The icrete is able to be pressurized up to three times more than all of the skyscrapers in New York it has to be used with in 90 minutes of being mixed.The new walls are three feet thick and are re in forced with six times more steel than what was used for the Eiffel Tower.The middle of the building was called "basically a bunker" because of all of the saftey precausions taken, they hope that these precausions will help the minds of the up stered people be at rest as they come for there day to day travel to work.

As captain, I know that this is my fault. All I hear is the screams of those still on the boat. The screams come from those in fear but also from those who are in desperation to stay alive. I know that not everyone will survive. In fact, I know that less than half will even make it to a life boat. I look out on to the main deck and see women and children of the third class and know that they are the last choice for a life boat, if there is even any room or any left. I should have slowed down after the first ice burg but I had a reputation to uphold, and I had pressure on my shoulders from those who just wanted to make headlines of the newspaper. I should have done what was right instead of letting fame and glory overcome the safety of the ship and those who were aboard. I want to ask for forgiveness from someone on the boat before the boat goes down, but I know that I have no right to ask for forgiveness when I cannot even forgive myself. I deserve no forgiveness and do not expect any.
