The images here is the Bahrain World Trade Center and they are not rendered perspectives but real structure built with awesome features. The structure itself is aesthetically awesome but for it to have wind turbines attached to its structure and the addition that these turbines are actually producing and supplying 10-15% power demand for the two towers is incredibly astonishing. Today, this structure is recognize as the world's first wind-powered mega structure.The three 29m-diameter turbine blades on Bahrain’s iconic landmark are
the first in the world to be integrated on such a scale into a
commercial development and are forecast to provide the equivalent of
11-15% of the power for the two towers when fully operational. The
successful rotatio

The big focus at Macy's is today 4th of July sales and the famed Macy's fireworks display. Perhaps investors will be left wondering, with a slight resumption of LBO activity if Macy's will be taken out.In 1988 I was a traffic reporter on 1010 WINS in New York (to this day the "most listened to station in the nation" where the cume is about 8 mln listeners per week). Being involved in traffic, many of my colleagues had built relationships with various policing agencies and received some nice courtesies. One friend asked me if I wanted to take a group of friends up to the top of the south tower of the World Trade Center to see the Macy's 4th of July fireworks. I jumped at the chance.We arrived at WTC and told the desk we were invited to the top to see the fireworks. Security escorted us to the elevator and we were whisked up to about 104th floor (I don't remember the exact floor). From there we received a Port Authority Police escort up a group of stairs to the roof of WTC2. It was

In the past year, two films relating to 9/11 have been released: United 93, directed by Paul Greengrass, and World Trade Center, directed by Oliver Stone. Both have suffered at the box office and have revealed what many industry insiders have suspected: It is too soon for Hollywood to deal with 9/11. Now that these films are on DVD, I offer a comparison. Cinematic Masterpiece I can't believe I was, at first, suckered into not seeing United 93, Paul Greengrass's cinematic masterpiece. People told me "It was too depressing!" or "It is not the right time to make this film!" Having seen a recent documentary on Flight 93, I decided I would sit out this film because I did not want to experience the same heartache I did when watching the documentary.When renting it a couple of months ago, I saw what my eyes had missed from the movie screen: a touching - often heartbreaking - and well-documented film that chronicles the events of September 11, 2001, but concentrates on the heroes
Da denkt man sich nichts Böses und plötzlich kommt ein amerikanisches Sythie Pop Duo um die Ecke und nennt sich "I Am The World Trade Center". Und dann bringt die durch Postpunk-Bands wie The Smiths und New Order beeinflusst auch noch im Jahre 2001 ein Album raus, dessen elfter Track ausgerechnet "September" hieß. Einige Kritiker behaupteten, man wolle Geld mit der Tragödie scheffeln, was die Band damals veranlasste unter dem Namen "I Am The World..." zu touren.
