The fire had occurred in the late afternoon on Saturday, March 25, 1911, when one of the employees noticed the fire and brought it to the attention of the rest of people on the eighth floor, where it had started.

Plus the wood that was the city was dry so it was really flammable.…

    The United States and the Soviet Union fought together as allies during World War II against the Axis Powers. Although they had fought as allies, the relationship between the two was one of much tension.

In turn, the Soviets had resented the Americans for their decades-long refusal to treat the USSR as a legitimate part of the international community as well as the United States’ delayed entry into the Second World War. This delayed entry resulted in tens of millions of Russians losing their lives.…

Flight 77 had two Rolls Royce RB211 jet engines made of steel and titanium, designed to maintain intact if anything was to go wrong. It is scientifically proven that it is impossible for the jet fuel to completely vaporize an entire plane therefor it should have been found intact at the crash site.…
