    9/11 Contextual Analysis

    Hearing the event from the perspective of a person who wasn’t directly affected or near the crash introduces a whole new type of experience. People, who like my parents, only received notice of the crash because of a family member they had no idea was in any kind of danger. My parents, at the time, weren’t aware of the importance of the Twin Towers or this possibility of a new worry of terrorism. They were able to be reassured simply by the fact that every loved one in the U.S then was okay. This particular perspective added to my knowledge of the personal experiences of the event, how the impact of the event can immediately increase because of a loved one being involved. Another detail from the interview that added to my knowledge was my mom…

    World Trade Center Case Study

    The central issue in this case is the impact that informal groups can have on public administration. On September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, over 3000 people lost their lives. There was, and still is, no doubt that this event reached throughout America and touched each one of us. We can all remember where we were and what we were doing the very moment we found out about it. This case expressed the issues that many people had concerning what to do in the aftermath of this disaster, especially New York firefighters. They lost 343 of their colleagues and were determined not to leave any of them behind. It reminded me of the military and their “no man left behind” mantra, and understandably so. However, because this disaster affected so many other people outside of just firefighters, it caused a lot of emotional distress for a variety of people. When dealing with emotionally charged informal groups such as this, it is important for public administrators to realize that they must not only consider their own individual objectives in order to achieve success, but must also consider the emotional impact on everyone involved.…

    World Trade Center: A Case Study

    The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center was the largest attack on U.S. soil to date, but it destroyed more than just buildings. It is well known that 2,974 people in lower Manhattan and 343 first responders from the Fire Department of the City of New York were killed in the line of duty. However, it is lesser known that for the next 10 months, until the site closed on July 25, 2002, FDNY workers were continually subjected to dangerous working conditions, fear for the personal safety and were in contact with the victims’ body parts. This is due to the fact that the fire department was a large part of the rescue, recovery and cleanup.
