...very scary time. My dad has been wanting me back home for months." Three people, including Fasulo, were killed, and another 29 were injured. As the world tuned in and President George W. Bush received regular briefings, Milan tried to make sense of its unwanted attention and the improbable gash in Il Pirellone (big Pirelli), Italy's first bona fide skyscraper, now owned by the Lombardy government.
