Hurricane Sandy has shown us that there is a thin line between functioning systems and a breakdown in life safety protections.

Recently The White House released a video "Catching Up With The Curator, The White House Fire of 1814". Terrific history video that shows the fire damage to the north portico that is still visible. Right next to the visible fire damage is a blockd fire extinguisher, ironic.
