St. Thomas’ church served as the zero point for Mumbai. Distances along all major roads were measured from this point. A plaque at the entrance of the church mentions the story of Mumbai’s zero point with a map. According to the plaque, 16 milestones — each four feet high — were laid out from the church, leading to the north of the city. Today, 11 of the 16 milestones have been located, many on unassuming corners of kerbs and submerged due to the heightened road levels. The plaque was placed in December 2018 to commemorate the tercentenary celebration of the church.
The history of the church dates back to 1676, when the foundation stone was laid. After some progress, the construction was abandoned for several decades until Richard Cobbe, the chaplain of the East India Company, took up the initiative of completing it. It was opened to the public on Christmas Day, 1718.
It was years later, in 1816, when the church was dedicated to St. Thomas by Thomas Middleton, the first bishop of Calcutta. In July 1837, the Anglican church was converted into a cathedral and came to be known as St. Thomas’ Cathedral and served as the seat of the bishop of Bombay. The plaque explaining the zero point is outside, next to an ornate marble fountain built in 1864 by Parsi entrepreneur and philanthropist Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney.
I'll post about Readymoney soon :)

In phone dials and in normal computer keyboards zero appears after nine and not before one, were it should have been. Interestingly, nine is far from the zero in the 10 exactly like the one from the zero before it.
In computer keyboard designed just for numbers zero appears before one.
First keyboards did not have zero at all since they used in place the letter O.
Ordinal numbers start from one and not from zero: No one counts: none, first, second ...

On 9.11.2001, I was a filmmaker who was able to enter ground zero.
Late in the afternoon, I was standing in front of a huge smoke cloud, where NY Firefighters were trying to contain the fire.
At that moment, I did not know I was across the street from Building 7.
Hours later, at about 7 PM, some of the smoke cleared and I could see the ruins of a building.
There were many ambulance personnel, a lot of police officers and a handful of journalists.
We all stood in awe, nobody said a word. It was an eerie silence, and to this day, just walking the ground zero streets, brings back the same feeling of sadness I had that night.
The next day, some images of my video, kept appearing over and over in an overseas TV Network.
I took a copy of my tape and placed it on a drawer, to this day I have not seen it.
The news says that 11 years have passed, for me, it is yesterday.
Today, I went to the same spot I was filming, 11 years ago.
I found the park, "Bogardus Garden", on West Broadway and Chambers Street.
I found the benches where I sat for hours with a journalist from Associated Press.
I asked today, a few of the locals, for the buildings I had seen burning on 911, on the corner of West Broadway and Chambers, one lady told me, "Sorry, I don't want to talk about that"; another couple said: "Yes, they moved Building 7 closer to the World Trade Center", someone else said: "A lot of buildings falling that day"
And I thought, only two planes and so many buildings falling?
The last person answering, also mentioned that she has developed asthma.
From where I saw a building burning, on 9-11-2001, at the corner of Chambers and West Broadway to the World Trade Center (West Broadway and Vesey Street), there is a distance of five blocks.
So, if a plane hits one of the Twin towers, a building five blocks away, falls?
Please, wake me up.
Silverstein on PBS interview: "I remember getting a call from the Fire Department Commander, telling me that they were not sure they'll be able to contain the fire. I said "You know, we've had such terrible loss of life, the smartest thing to do is... is pull it! And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building... collapse"

Container ZERO is a self-contained communications station used to connect real-world Burning Man with virtual worlds on the Internet.
Danger Ranger acquired the first Burning Man shipping container in 1997, which was designated ZERO. By the year 2008, there were over 90 shipping containers in the Burning Man transportation fleet.
Container ZERO is a Vietnam era military communications box with a lightweight aluminum frame. It was designed to be helicoptered into the field. The floor, ceiling and walls are fully insulated, so it stays relatively cool in the desert heat. From 1997 thru 1999 it served as storage and staging for the Black Rock Rangers. From 2000 to 2004, it was used on the DPW Work Ranch to house the inverter controls and battery bank for a solar power system. From 2005 to 2006 it was used for storage by Bill Carson. In 2007 it was returned to mobile use as Danger Ranger's on-playa communication station. The interior has been decorated to look like a Jules Vern Victorian computer parlor. One side of the container is hinged at the bottom, so when the weather permits, it can be opened up. When the side is open and the oriental carpet unrolled, it looks like a steampunk set on a theater stage.
Most of the graphics & artwork inside container ZERO were done by Dusty Hawthorne.
