The September 11 attacks were the deadliest terrorist attacks in
human history, causing the deaths of 2,996 people, including
2,977 victims and 19 hijackers who committed murder–suicide.

Thousands more were injured, and long-term health effects have
arisen as a consequence of the attacks. New York City took the
brunt of the death toll when the Twin Towers of the World Trade
Center complex in Lower Manhattan were attacked, with an
estimated 1,600 victims from the North Tower and around a
thousand from the South Tower.

Two hundred miles southwest in Arlington County, Virginia,
another 125 were killed in the Pentagon. The remaining 265
fatalities included the ninety-two passengers and crew of
American Airlines Flight 11, the sixty-five aboard United
Airlines Flight 175, the sixty-four on American Airlines Flight
77 and the forty-four who boarded United Airlines Flight 93.

The attack on the World Trade Center’s North Tower alone
made the September 11 attacks the deadliest act of terrorism
in human history.

In the United States, the first laws against operating a motor
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol went into effect in
New York in 1910. In 1936, Dr. Rolla Harger, a professor of
biochemistry and toxicology, patented the Drunkometer, a
balloon-like device into which people would breathe to
determine whether they were inebriated.

In 1953, Robert Borkenstein, a former Indiana state police captain
and university professor who had collaborated with Harger on
the Drunkometer, invented the Breathalyzer.

LOS ANGELES (TND) — Legendary actress, Kathy Bates, revealed
she just wants her life back.

Bates revealed her retirement plan during an interview with The
New York Times about her upcoming project.

which she called her "last dance."

The 76-year-old actress will play the role of Madeline Matlock in
the reboot that’s scheduled to debut September 22 on CBS.

Bates shared she was ready to leave the spotlight after an
unnamed movie shoot left her sobbing on a sofa.

I get jealous of having this talent. Because I can’t hold it back, and
I just want my life."

In the 1990s Bates won a "best actress" Academy Award for her
