    In the history    of Boston Massachusetts,a fire broke out Wednesday in a four-story building. A fire chief said he's 30years of service and he'd never seen a blaze travel so fast, escalate 2 so quickand cause so much damage in so little time. This was a nine-alarm fire, ameasure of the number of fire fighters who got involved. More than 150 arrivedto help and two of them died after rushing into the burning building and savingseveral people who had been trapped in the upper floors. New England patriots 3 called      saw the fire and discussed it, and theheroes who fought on the radio.
Ifeel so badly for the family of the two firefighters that were lost and, it …obviouslyall the men associate with fire fighters yesterday losing, you know, one oftheir close friends.

    It’s been a frustrated 4 and incredibly difficult search almost three weeks after a Malaysia airlines passengersvanished with 239 people aboard. Nothing has been recovered. Satellitesand     are been reported daily now. Focusedon the Southern India Ocean, but search planes had spin point anything so thatships can recover it.
    The flea 5 searching the Southern sector 6 tofind this missing airplane is really quite impressive. There are 11 aircraftsand 5 ships from the nearest countries out here. They are scouring 7 in the waterbut all you have to do is look at the map and realize why this remains 8 adifficult job. The distance form Perthwhere the flying out the planes and where these objects spotted 9 by thesatellites radars 10. That’s 1600 miles. That means a tremendous amount of energyand times affected 11 just getting back and forth 12 every single day. Here’s anotherway to look at it. If you consider the overall southern search area, seems621000 square miles, by the time they handle all this travel and get intopossession, and the look around for a while. Basically what they can search isabout 5% of the zone everyday. That means in perfect weather with perfectequipment everything’s going right, it will take them 20 days to get throughthis sector.
    Even if you narrow that down, if you say weare not doing the large sector, we just dong the small area of period whichjust describing the size of Denver, so 12.5 miles by 12.5 miles, that was thework sound here. Imagine taking off Washington DC in the morning of the searchgroup and you have to fly all the way across the country, out here cross thegreat planes to Colorado and when you land in Colorado, you have to move all upto Denver and then in Denver, you have to fly over the city, and you have twoor three hours to try to spot a particular mail box or a trash can, or car. Andif you do no spot it, you have to turn around and fly all the way back to Washington DC,to get more fuel and a little sleep and come back and do it again the next day.That’s why this remains such a daunting 13 task.
