your fortnightly boat

guess who i saw getting tug-boated into its parking spot this morning...

the boat made of 9/11!! just in time for the anniversary!

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced in a statement on Tuesday that the amphibious transport ship will travel to the city this week to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attack. The vessel will also transport a handful of emergency responders and families of victims from her home port in Norfolk, Va., to New York Harbor.

On Sept. 11, the boat will move from its anchor point in the Hudson River to “a location within sight of the World Trade Center,” the statement said. 

Commissioned into service in November 2009, the ship was built, in part, with steel reforged from the twin towers. Mr. Bloomberg hailed the return of “a powerful symbol of the deeply personal connection that New Yorkers have with our military.” (via)

happy 100th anniversary, triangle shirtwaist factory fire ;(

ever wonder why we have labor rights, emergency exit signs, and my favorite construction industry term, "panic hardware" (push bars) on doors, etc? well, the triangle shirtwaist factory fire of 1911 is why. today marks 100 years since this horrific tragedy, and i've included the segment of ken burns' new york documentary which, incidentally, is required 2Pz viewing. netflix that s up.
