This is why FEMA does not want people coming down to the disaster site willy nilly. Can you imagine if they had made it to NO, fill up our tanks and feed us please, as if the feds don't have enough useless beauracrats running around there already. All freepers who were questioning why the feds turned down Daley's help have their answer.
Excellent points.
One of the problems identified in the 9/11 response was that firefighters and ems workers just ran in the direction of the smoke.
At the Pentagon, several different agencies set up triage and command locations out of sight and unknown to other departments. No one person knew who was there or what assets they had at their disposal.
All the departments rushing to the scene left gaps in coverage for fire and ems in other areas as well, so if another plane had hit in DC, there may have been a delayed response because some units were at the Pentagon unneccessarily and no single command authority could dispatch them elsewhere.
Willy can come, but leave Nilly home. He's more trouble than he's worth.
