3 for Thursday (#45):

9-11-2001 (no-one above the 91st floor in the North Twin Tower survived this catastrophe)

1. Where were you when you first heard about the events of 9-11?

2. Did you know anyone who was on one of the flights - or was a relative?

3. How has the tragic events changed your life - or your attitude in life?

4. Have you visited any of the attack sites/memorials?

5. Do you believe that the collapse of the Twin Towers (and resultant loss of life) was inevitable or were there mitigating factors, such as:

a. Having all three escape passageways clustered in the center core of each building;

b. The interior steel insulation had fallen off so there was no protection against the effects of superheating due to fire (the steel insulation was in the process of being replaced). This interior steel was heated to the point where it became as pliable as licorice;

c. All sprinkler lines were situated in such a manner that they were sheared when the aircraft wings hit the buildings;

d. The “stand and hold” policy of having handicapped or injured employees wait in what fire teams considered “safe” rescue areas;

e. Access to the roof was barred and no notice posted that the roof was inaccessible nor that the NYPD no longer executed rooftop helicopter rescues;

f. Fire and police rescue teams did not work in concert together (such as not communicating on the same radio frequency);

g. Police and fire Department radios were the same as used in the 1993 terrorist bombing attack and, in many cases, were defective. Some firefighting teams did not receive the order to evacuate the buildings;

h. Firefighters, many of whom carried 95-125 lbs of extra equipment had to trudge up 80 plus floors single file on one side of the narrrow stairwells as panicked civilians made their way down to the lobby on the other side of the same stairwell.

i. In several cases, the only available cleared stairwell down to safety was not or could not be relayed to other trapped victims in the upper floors or rescue teams attempting to climb up.

j. Port Authority employees in the South Twin Tower told workers it was safe to go back to their offices;

k. Prior damage inflicted on the buildings during the 1993 terrorist bombing attack.
