Criticizing the rescue efforts at the World Trade Center shows no knowledge of understanding of disaster situations. Despite the glitches thousands in fact survived and it is doubtful that those on the top floors could have been rescued due to the fires that proceeded the building's collapse. Better communication might have helped some, but in a disaster you can expect things not to go as planned and you must improvise on the spot.

Did things go perfectly? No, nor do they in any disaster. These critics fail to see the success and cheapen the sacrifice of the brave men and women in the emergency services who gave their lives so that others might live.

At the time, the World Trade Center towers were the largest communication devices going. TV, radio, and probably emergency services, depended on them being there.

I'm pretty sure Gorelick is smart enough to figure that one out. If not, she shouldn't be on the commission...
