Sunrise Through the Darkness
On September 11th, 2001, Port Authority Police Officer, William Jimeno, left his home unsuspecting of what the day was about to hold.

Drilling and Blasting of Rocks
Rock breakage with explosives has existed since the seventeenth century when black powder came into use in mining.
