And that is exactly what Giuliani did. They had a plan and they had frequent, routine drills. It went a long way in maintining a sense of calm in the midst of utter destruction and chaos.
I have personally heard people blame him for Bldg. 7 collapsing.
Rudy dared to store diesel fuel there.
Imagine after 9-11 if Giulianis entire police and fire department had just quit ... and governor Pataki had come on TV and said LOOTING IS OK !!!
Can you imagine how bad it would have been !
