Another 24 missing persons are believed to have died. Most victims fell in the WTC . Among them were 343 members of the New York Fire Department, most of whom were in the towers. There were 125 casualties in the Pentagon.
In Manhattan, a huge cloud of dust hung in the first days after the attack, so that even breathing was impossible. As a result, many people who were nearby when the towers collapsed contracted respiratory diseases such as asthma. Many toxic, carcinogenic substances were also released. Months after the attacks, a fire raged on the WTC. The first two months after the attacks, an enormous amount of rubble had to be cleared. In 2007, work was still underway to clean up damaged buildings in the WTC. Meanwhile, the rebuilt WTC has a new high-rise building, the One World Trade Center.

Trump belongs to the Republican Party. Before his presidency, he had never previously held a political position. He was an entrepreneur by profession, mainly in real estate. He is also a writer and television personality.
 
Donald Trump is the son of Fred Trump, a real estate developer from New York. When Donald Trump entered the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School, he was already working for the company of his father and grandmother, Elizabeth Trump & Son, the predecessor of The Trump Organization. In 1968 he officially joined his father's company. He took control of the company in 1971 and changed the name to The Trump Organization. His promotional efforts, career, media appearances and books (often written by ghostwriters) made him a media personality in the United States. Trump presented The Apprentice, an American television program on NBC.
On June 16, 2015, Trump officially put himself forward for the 2016 Presidential election as a Republican. From the first stage of his campaign, he proved very popular, much to the dismay of the top of the Republican Party. As of late July 2015, he topped the polls for the Republican nomination, and in July 2016, he became the presidential candidate for the Republican Party. On November 8, 2016, he won the presidential election and became President-elect of the United States. He was confirmed as President by the United States Congress on January 6, 2017, and was sworn in on January 20, 2017.

In the United States, this day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada, where the harvest ends earlier in the year, it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Thanksgiving for the Crop exists in Orthodox Protestant churches in the Netherlands.
Thanksgiving is celebrated with the whole family and they travel long distances to be together. Because it falls on a Thursday in the US, it is usually the case that employees are also given a Friday off. This makes a four-day family reunion possible.
The food plays a major role: it is a tradition to eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day and this day is referred to as Turkey Day. Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, it has been customary for the president to pardon a living turkey, the National Thanksgiving Turkey. Traditional side dishes include mashed potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, and pecan pie for dessert.
 
The Friday after Thanksgiving, when the whole family has free time, is traditionally a day to start shopping for Christmas. It is therefore the busiest day of the year for retailers. The day is also known as Black Friday in the United States.

It is not without reason that obesity is becoming an increasingly serious medical, financial and social problem within America. In the U.S., it is estimated that about 70% of adults over the age of 25 are overweight, with obesity or extreme obesity occurring in half of the cases. All this can be traced back to the lifestyle of Americans, where incorrect nutrition is the main cause next to too little exercise. Nobody will be surprised that this happens in a country where people prefer to fry fish or chicken over grilling and where pancakes, donuts, bagels or carbohydrate-rich grain breakfasts form the basis of a breakfast. Although there is a trend going on where it seems that Americans eat more consciously and healthier, in practice that is often different. After all, it makes little sense to drink a glass of diet soda with a hamburger menu that in itself already has more than a thousand calories. It is often just because of the image that Americans appear to be offered healthier food and drink through the food industry. In practice, honest and healthy food is expensive and is not offered enough]]> 2020-07-03 18:53:08 UTC https://padlet.com/okocal/h10wkw6qpgq62b3g/wish/647047175
