Rescorla's Influence On Other Terrorist Attacks

I make sure everyone else is out". He was last seen on the 10th floor, heading upward, shortly before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 A.M. His remains were never found. Rescorla was declared dead three weeks after the attacks (Stewart, 2002).
Fear is defined by the Oxford American College Dictionary as “an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat”. Fear is an incredibly powerful emotion. It leads individuals to do things that one never thought were possible. It can motivate for both the good and the bad, which is part of what makes it so powerful. One reason that terrorism is so rampant throughout our modern world is that it is so undeniably effective. Fear can be a
Brian Michael Jenkins, an author, advisor to the Presidential Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism, and Director of the National Transportation Security Center at the Mineta Transportation Institute, worked with two others in a study where statistical analysis via the GTD of all terrorist attacks from 1970 to 2013 were observed. This study sought to answer two main questions. Does a significant terrorist attack somehow inspire other terrorist attacks, and can terrorist attacks be anticipated statistically? They were searching to see if there was any evidence to the likelihood that another attack would occur where one just had. The authors found that “Although the volume of terrorist incidents worldwide has increased dramatically, the volume of terrorist incidents in the United States and Europe resulting in at least one fatality has declined since the 1970s, and especially in the years since 9/11”. Some explanations for this are that groups in the 1970s were better organized, counterterrorism efforts also have made it more
Uncertainty, lack of organization, destruction, chaos, and fear. All of these negative effects of various hazards can be decreased in part by adequately planning. According to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), there are three types of hazards. These three types of hazards that you can prepare for are natural, technological, and human caused hazards. Natural hazards are emergencies caused by forces extraneous to man in the elements of the natural environment. Natural hazards cannot be managed and are often interrelated. Natural hazards can occur and cause no damage to humans or the built environment; however, when a hazard and development intersect, significant damage to the built environment occurs, creating a natural disaster. Some examples of a natural hazard would be an avalanche, animal disease outbreak, drought, or an earthquake. Technological events are emergencies that involve materials created by man and that pose a unique hazard to the general public and environment. The jurisdiction needs to consider events that are caused by accident (e.g. mechanical failure, system breakdowns) or result from an emergency caused by another hazard (e.g flood, storm) or are caused intentionally. Some examples of a technological hazard would be an airplane crash, dam failure, a mining accident, or hazardous materials release. Human caused disasters are created by man, either intentionally or by accident. Examples of this type
