Emergency Response to Sept 11th

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the history of terrorism and how it climaxed into the largest domestic terrorism act on September 11th in the United States. It focuses on the emergency services responses in New York City to this terror attack and explains how for many years these services have been preparing for such an attack.

From the paper:

"Three months America was introduced to terrorism on a level that it had never before experienced when two planes were crashed into the World Trade Center Towers in New York, causing them to collapse even as another plane plunged into the Pentagon and another, perhaps on its way to a Washington D.C. target crashed in a field in Philadelphia.
But while the plane crashes and the destruction that followed them were terrible, they could have "and would have" been much worse had not the cities and states involved worked closely with the federal government to contain the damage and limit the injuries and death."
