I watched an interesting story on the PBS Nova show, Building on Ground Zero. It's interesting to note that the WTC engineer Les Robertson (who feared that his company and his career were over when the twin towers fell) is currently working on the Shanghai World Financial Centre construction.

"Turquoise Rose"; Navajo film reaches across cultural lines
"It's the story of a college-age Navajo, raised in Phoenix, apart from her cultural roots, who is summoned to the reservation to care for her ailing grandmother.
Much of the film was written while Hamilton was deployed in Iraq. His signal brigade from the Arizona National Guard accompanied the first Army soldiers who entered that country in 2003.
In his unit was a woman from Chinle named Rose and a non-Native schoolteacher who was familiar with the Navajo Nation. As Hamilton worked on his story during the 15-month deployment, he would bounce ideas off both."
