CN I know I will be critized for this but as a member of law enorcement for 25 years the first rule is Never! set up the command post at the exact scene of any catastrophe. I think the FDNY made a major mistake in setting up their command at the World Trade Center and I am not alone. The textbook says to set up a safe distant away and many heros would still be here if that was the case. Just for the record I spent my Tuesday 9/11/01 at this location and will be forever changed by this experience. I place no blame on anyone as it was totally unexpected but I know at least 9 people who perished that day mostly civilians including one female who got hit by flying debris literally next to me. My life has changed since that day. CN
