So far, more than 10,000 tons have been removed, a tiny fraction of the skyscrapers’ ruins – a combined total of 220 stories of gleaming steel weighing some 1.25 million tons, plus an unknown number of surrounding structures. Ten thousand tons in 4 days? Let’s be generous and say three days, assuming that they weren’t […]

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sewing machines at New Era Cap Co. on Friday began stitching American flags onto the caps major league baseball players will wear when they resume play next week.
