I'm sure there's plenty of responsibility to investigate and pursue in the courts. I've wondered, like other freepers, about the tower evacuation plans. I've wondered why it appears hundreds of firefighters and other rescue workers were murdered because no one had an idea the buildings would fall. Who developed the response plan? This was never an impossibility--not even an implausible accident with so many airports in the area. Planning was evidently poor. Plenty of people watching in horror via television "knew" the buildings were coming down. It didn't take Freepers long to do crude but quick calculations to see the fuel-fed fire would burn hot enough to compromise the structural steel. Should there be no culpability, no concern for negilgence here?
Had the airlines installed secure cockpit doors--for crying outloud, we learned the Boeing aircraft cockpit doors all shared a standard key--there would have been no means of entry, no way to fly the aircraft into the towers or anywhere else.
I can't believe how many here are so eager to defend corporations that they can't even consider whether the corporations failed in their duties. I hope someone has the guts to find a way to put Gore in the hot seat over the campaign contributions which appear to have swayed his post TWA-800 safety commission toward toothless recommendations.
If there's provable negligence, let United and American (whiners for corporate welfare) go out of business. That's fine with me. Other airlines will rise up to the challenge and gladly take over their routes.
