Lawsuits, investigations begin in Philly

Her family says she was brilliant, caring and had the ability to find beauty in everything.

Anne Bryan was in her first year as a full-time student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

She was among the six people killed Wednesday when a building collapse spilled rubble into a thrift store.

Roseline Conteh, Borbor Davis, Kimberly Finnegan, Juanita Harmin and Mary Simpson also died, according to Mayor Michael Nutter.

"Anne lived her life with an open heart," her family said in a statement. "She gave herself to her family, friends and anyone in need of help. Her generosity was limitless."

    Very unfortunate. Which supports the saying:
    You just never know when your number comes up.

    Guess public lost interest on that Texss story. And why report on that when the news media has Mr. Obama to push around.

    Rupert, you're a guest on these blogs. Please try to be more of a gentleman like saywhat.
    And I'm sorry, but your blogs won't last too long with such a combative nature.

      Hi, Rupert. Does this happen often?

    No Zandie. Not often. It is annoying when it does happen. What does happen often is getting deleted or blocked. Grrrrrr

    Much work in the USA today is done by incompetent workers as a result of inadequate education_and a posture of enti-
    tlement. I am no longer surprised by major accidents of this kind.

    No thread for the NSA leaks/leaker? Politics. If one supported any party other than Obama's, one might try to convince Americans that Democrats were conspiring against them. Moi, I'd rather ride airplames safely and ignore the NSA's listening to my telephone flirtations.
