FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Exit A, the southbound-only exit to the Midtown and Downbeach districts

The Atlantic City–Brigantine Connector is a connector freeway in Atlantic City,
New Jersey. It is a 2.37-mile (3.81 km) extension of the Atlantic City
Expressway, connecting it to Route 87 and Brigantine via the Marina district of
Atlantic City. It is locally known as "the Tunnel" due to its tunnel underneath
the Westside neighborhood. It is a state highway owned and operated by the South
Jersey Transportation Authority. Proposals for a similar road date to 1964;
planning began in 1995 after businessman Steve Wynn proposed a new casino in the
Marina district. It was supported by Governor Christine Todd Whitman and Mayor
Jim Whelan, but opposed by residents whose homes would be destroyed, and
competing casino owner Donald Trump, who filed lawsuits. Its construction took
almost three years and it opened in July 2001 at a total cost of $330 million.
The connector serves up to 30,000 vehicles daily, and it has brought business to
the casinos in the Marina district. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

1:37CC


The bombing of Hamburg in World War II by the Allies included numerous attacks
on German civilians and civic infrastructure. As a large city and industrial
centre, Hamburg's shipyards, U-boat pens and oil refineries were attacked
throughout the war. In late July 1943, as part of a campaign of strategic
bombing, the Allies launched Operation Gomorrah, an eight-day bombing campaign
in Hamburg. In particular, during the 27/28 July raid carried out by the Royal
Air Force (RAF), concentrated bombing created one of the largest firestorms of
the war. Operation Gomorrah killed more than 37,000 people and destroyed 60% of
the city's houses. An unexpected consequence of the raid was the reallocation of
some German resources away from the fighting fronts. Large numbers of
anti-aircraft guns and fighter aircraft were redeployed back to Germany, so
aiding the Allies in their conduct of the ground war.

This United States propaganda newsreel (above), released in August 1943, covers
the Eighth Air Force's bombing of Hamburg during Operation Gomorrah. The
newsreel's narrator states that Hamburg is "Germany's principal seaport and
number-one war center" and that the bombing caused "devastation of war plants",
but does not mention the deliberate destruction of entire residential
neighborhoods. The intent was to reduce German industrial production for the war
effort by making workers homeless – an opinion based on study of the effect on
British factories of German bombing during the Blitz.

This aerial photograph (below), taken by an RAF officer, shows part of the
Hamburg district of Eilbek after this dehousing campaign; it was probably taken
after the end of the war and certainly after rubble and other debris had been
cleared.
