Where Were You on September 11, 2001? (Working Together)
Are we safer now than we were before the attacks?
Every generation has its “Where were you” moments–when everyone alive on that day remembers where they were when some world-shaking event occurred. In the 1960s, the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were where were you moments. Other events of import were the moon landing, the deaths of Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and the space shuttle Challenger explosion. In the 21st Century, I think all of us remember where we were on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. Hawaii woke to the news that airplanes had crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. Throughout the days and weeks following that event, what we thought might have been freak accidents were really the worst terrorist attacks in US history. Today, Jay Fidell and I are going to discuss the good old days before the World Trade Center attacks, and whether we’re safer now than we were before the attacks. The host for this episode is Cheryl Crozier Garcia. The guest for this episode is Jay Fidell.
