		Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the "official investigation" blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce that may already have been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure.
		However, respected members of the fire protection engineering community are beginning to raise red flags, and a resonating theory has emerged: The structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in themselves were not enough to bring down the towers.
		The frequency of published and unpublished reports raising questions about the steel fireproofing and other fire protection elements in the buildings, as well as their design and construction, is on the rise.

		He also served in the capacity as Manager of Fire Safety for the New York City Transit Authority; in addition to protecting over 700 facilities, he championed the implementation of an ultra-high speed system to counteract theft-related firebombings; that protection was installed in all public stations and has thus far saved at least three lives.
		Malanga has been involved in numerous legal projects involving the forensic investigation and reconstruction of both fires and explosions; this also includes the interpretation, application and the assignment of responsibility with fire prevention, fire protection and building codes.

		NIST also is authorized to conduct basic and applied fire research, including fire investigations, for the purposes of understanding fundamental fire behavior and to reduce losses from fire.
		Other labs include a tri-directional test facility for testing structural components and connections under the types of loads occurring during an earthquake, and a large fire laboratory with the capability of conducting well-controlled experiments in fires releasing heat up to 10 megawatts (typical of a multiroom fire).
		Between February 2003 and March 2005, NIST led a team of public and private-sector fire and safety experts in an investigation of the Feb. 20, 2003, fire at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, R.I. The team’s primary objectives were to:

		This seems a good example of Christian hope of which it is said, “Christian hope begins when there is no hope.” Such hope appears to be deep in the bones of Filipinos, and luckily so for government and all in authority.

		We would demand justice if a parent badly beat his or her children in Happyland, but we don’t mind the daily trauma the children suffer from noise, congestion, violence, hunger and fear of eviction.

	OpinionJournal - Leisure & Arts Responses
		A small point: In New York City a few years back there was the HappyLand fire, which killed 87 people, after some deranged man with a grievance thought mass murder of innocents was his expressive rights, and New York City then shut down all these illegal private clubs.
		Furthermore, state regulations have never been adequately enforced, i.e., sprinkler systems in the case of fire, adequate evacuation plans with enough exits clearly evident, etc., and this leaves the municipalities and states liable on criminal negligence charges.
		The fire marshal was overruled by the elected politicians because they received some pressure from the owners and the owners' friends.

	Review - Happyland by Kevin Connolly
		If a poem can’t be bothered to slow down long enough to allow for a certain amount of coherence, then it’s just a list of disconnected, floating items.
		The poems in the Kevin Connolly book Happyland are most often just that – a list of items swept together under a title.
		For the most part, the reader is only allowed into the poems in the stronger final sequence about the club.

		Among the owners is Alex DiLorenzo, who was criminally charged in connection with the Happyland Club fire in 1990 which killed nearly 90 people.

		There across the path lay a great dragon, and in its four heads blazed these letters of fire, – H-A-T-E. "Hui!" cried the prince, "one must think twice before stirring up such a foe!" And bethinking him of the pebble, he took it from his pocket and cast it on the ground.
		Hardly had the prince crossed the threshold to retrace his steps to the forest, when he found himself there without the trouble of going.
		At sight of him the dragon came forth, smoke and fire pouring from his eight nostrils!
