11 of september

This video is about the collapse of the twin towers in 2001.The video shows the collapse of the north tower.
At the beggining some people thought it was an accident, but after the second plane crashed against the towers the doubts about it disappeared.
More than 2000 people died and it has been the most shocking of the attacks that Al-Qaeda has made in the last years, and since then the way of thinking of the american people has changed completely.

CAN FISH MAKE MY CHILD WORK BETTER?

It's widely recognised that fish which have omega 3 can improve the behaviour of the children at school, in different subjects. Recent research done by an English doctor says that eating fish makes children do their work better not only at school but also at home. Some teenagers have grown up eating chips and hamburgers and now they have many problem so I would say to all the parents whose childrens spend their day eatting chips sugarbits etc to control their behavior and their attitude at school and to give them more fish becouse it is very important for children's brains.

Hiroshima

I saw three documentaries and all of them were about Hiroshima.

In the first movie, which is embedded, you can feel the fear everybody in Hiroshima felt, you can get angry about what those people (Oppenheimer and the Manhattan project) did, but you won't be able to change the past.



If you want to see it with commentaries, you can click here and see the same but longer film. In this second video, you understand what happened that day and the reason for for doing it.


But that wasn't the end. After the bombing, all there was left in Hiroshima was chaos and debris . In this video you can see what happened to the people after their hometown was destroyed.


But, was that the end? No, it wasn't and the world was getting prepared for the next attempt . In only three seconds, this second bomb killed more than 70, 000 people and more than 80, 000 people suffered diseases caused by radioactivity.

Nowadays, goverments are working on it and trying to avoid another disaster and to protect the world from them.
