architecture enlightens life

this is our history project, on some sort of architectural history & culture in north america. particularly, everything is still under progress- but we selected a topic that suits our theme. speaking of architecture, there’s this analysis of the collapsing structure, and i guess this is a culturally important incident.. and we moulded up our storyline.. here’s the extremely interesting part you should have read

A Fulbright fellowship has been established in the name of a Malaysian of Indian origin who died in the World Trade Centre terrorist attack in New York two years ago.

Vijayashanker Paramsothy, popularly known as Shanker, was, by all accounts, a young man in love: he loved living in New York City; he loved rooting for “his” British soccer team, Manchester United; he loved photography; and he loved making friends from all over the world.

But all that love of life was snuffed out on September 11, 2001, when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre while he was at work on the 103rd floor of the South Tower.

Paramsothy, an exceptional student with a promising career, came to the US in 1996.

He obtained both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the College of Insurance in New York and at the time of his death was working as a financial analyst for Aon Risk Consultants, Inc.

According to colleagues who survived the attack, Shanker was able to reach the 56th floor of his building after the first plane exploded. Once the second plane crashed into the North Tower, however, his supervisor became too injured to move.

Shanker urged his colleagues to continue their evacuation, but he decided to stay on the 56th floor to assist his supervisor. Both Shanker and his supervisor were kille when the tower collapsed.

Shanker was just a month away from his 24th birthday when he died. He was one of the three Malaysians who died in the terrorist attack; altogether, 2,801 people died when the World Trade Centre’s towers collapsed.

man, that is really a heroic action.. so now all the plus side is on us- a malaysian, large video resource of 9/11, a touching event is going to make this documentary blasting out your mind.. and after watching some trailers.. i decided it should be trailer-like kind of documentary- well cause we all know that the best shots of the film is in the movie trailers-

i’m really into this project, and whoops- all my team members works great.. i could feel the sensation that everyone is working to their best effort during the storyboard preparation.. a great appreciation to them! and here’s the link for the original storyboard, which is particularly ‘rejected’ because it was all too ‘fancy’.. well, i’m not sure how’s the format of a storyboard, but the one i made is just a great tool to present the storyline to the lecturers..

anyways.. break a leg- if you know this term means
