The Incident Command System (ICS) is a systematized approach to deal with the order, control, and coordination of crisis reaction giving a typical chain of importance inside which responders from various organizations can be viable (Incident command system (ICS), 2007).
On the eleventh day of September 2001, nineteen activists associated with the Islamic radical social event al-Qaeda enlisted four air ships and did suicide ambushes against centers in the United States. Two planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, as the third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., while the fourth plane smashed in Pennsylvania at a field. As often as possible insinuated as 9/11, the attacks achieved wide destruction

on a sensible Tuesday morning, when an American Airlines Boeing 767 slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City stacked with 20,000 gallons of plane fuel. The impact left an immeasurable, seething opening near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, in a glimmer executing a few people and getting hundreds more in higher floors. As the flight of the tower and its twin got in advancement, TV cameras indicated live pictures of what at initially appeared, all in all, to be a peculiarity incident. By then, 18 minutes after the fundamental plane hit, a second Boeing 767 (United Airlines Flight 175) showed up out of the sky, turned unmistakably toward the World Trade Center and cut into the south tower close to the 60th floor. The effect achieved a tremendous impact that showered bursting junk over including structures and the paths underneath. America was under attack. (Haddow, Bullock, & Coppola, …show more content…
With regards to association, New York City Office of Emergency Management was the office in charge of coordination of the City 's reaction to the assaults. It was going by then-Director Richard Sheirer, the office was compelled to abandon its central station, situated in 7 World Trade Center, inside hours of the assault. This shows the use of occurrence charge framework to manage a crisis circumstance. Richard Sheirer was the occurrence officer, he was the individual in charge of all parts of a crisis reaction; including rapidly creating episode goals, dealing with every single occurrence operation, use of assets and additionally obligation regarding all persons included. His part was to set needs and characterize the association of the occurrence reaction groups and the general episode activity arrangement. Span of control alludes to the quantity of staff controlled specifically by a prevalent (Walker,
On September 11, 2001, the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda hijacked four american airlines. “Two of the airlines crashed into the world trade center in New York The third plane crashed into the Pentagon outside the world trade center, and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania” (9/11 Attacks). They called it a suicide attack against United States, but there are conspiracy theories the the terrorist are still alive. That they stole
On September 11, 2001 four passenger commercial jet airliners were hijacked and as a result approximately 3,000 human lives were lost. When asked about 9/11, many can recall exactly what they were doing when they heard the news that a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings and many Americans can tell you how it all unfolded and the reason behind such a travesty. The “official story” provided by officials, and restated by Sofia Shafquat, producer of “9/11 Mysteries: Demolitions” say that “four passenger planes were hijacked and taken radically off course, within an hour, two of the planes had flown into the enormous steel towers of the World Trade Center, creating fires and eventually toppling them” (Shafquat). Soon the American public believed that the impact of the planes and that the fires had gotten so hot from burning jet fuel, that they caused the steel frames of the buildings to give way and implode, falling to the ground into dust (Shafquat). Internal fires take on the responsibility of the official story, though others believe controlled demolition is to blame. Some evidence that debates these two explanations of how the steel towers fell are: the way the buildings collapsed, the properties of steel, and the evidence of molten metal.
19 militants from al-Qaeda carried suicide attacks towards the United States. Two of the planes hit the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, making the towers to fall down. A third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania which didn’t reach its goal which was the Capitol. As a result from this tremendous attack over 3,000 people died in New York City and Washington D.C.
On the morning of September 11/2001, 19 terrorist working for the Al Qaeda terrorist organization hijacked four commercial planes. They attempted to fly them into multiple U.S targets. One of the planes, American Airlines, flight 11, crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:50 a.m. Another plane, United Airlines, flight 175, crashed into the south tower at 9:04 a.m. These tragedies took the lives of nearly 3000 people and affected the lives of millions.
Introduction On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning.
On September 11, 2001, the Islamist terrorist group known as al-Qaeda launched a series of terrorist attacks on the United States of America, specifically in the New York City and Washington D.C areas. Nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes with the intention of using them as suicide attacks that would crash those planes into designated buildings, or targets. Two of the four passenger jets were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, both of which collapsed entirely within two hours of being hit. The third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, and the west side of the building, which is the Headquarters of the US Department of Defense, partially collapsed. The fourth hijacked plane was intended for the US Capitol Building in Washington D.C, but instead crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers of the plane interfered with the hijackers. The attack on September 11th was devastatingly fatal—almost 3,000 people died in the attacks, including all of the al-Qaeda hijackers and every passenger aboard the four planes.
Flight 77, and that the heat and explosion from the initial crash caused the towers structure to
The CPP is inherently different from traditional models developed by federal entities in several ways, the most important being that it is a “bottom-up” planning method as dictated by one of the directives of the Act of 2007. FEMA was asked to partner with State, local and tribal governments, emergency responders, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in addition to other federal agencies typically involved with disaster preparedness, response and recovery efforts. Most FEMA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) systems and methods in the past have been driven from the “top down”, such as the Incident Command System (ICS) and the National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) and have focused on the structure of command and control rather than coordinated partnerships (Ruback et al., 2010). Another significant directive of the Act of 2007 is the specific focus on preparedness for catastrophic events rather than disasters, which are more regional in scope.
On September 11, 2001 a series catastrophic events occurred in New York City, New York. Al-Qaeda planned strategically conducted events, known as suicide attacks. Nineteen al-Qaeda members hijacked four commercial airplanes, including United Airlines Flight 93, American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77 and United Airlines 175. Two of the planes purposely crashed into the World Trade Center buildings. In addition, another plane crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, VA. and the fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Those passengers on the fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, attempted to win control over the plane; however, there were no survivors.
At 8:46 a.m., the United States witnessed the first terroristic attack of many to come when American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center’s North Tower in New York City. Flight 11 impacted the tower between floors 93 and 99 ...

Through its design, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a mechanism for effective and efficient collaboration between federal, state, tribunal and local governments. This is particularly important for those state-level agencies as they work together to prevent, or manage, domestic incidents (“NIMS”, 2004). An integral part of the NIMS is the Incident Command System (ICS), which provides a system of critical interface between different responding agencies, or jurisdictions that are suddenly required to work together in order to respond to an incident (“NIMS”, 2004). While state governments are not required to participate in NIMS, upon review of the NISM and the ICS, it is clear that adoption of the NIMS, as well as the implementation of the ICS model, will greatly benefit state-level Homeland Security procedures for a variety of reasons. By participating in the NIMS, and adopting the ICS, state-level agencies will create a common communication and information management system, provide for efficient management of resources, and facilitate multi-agency coordination.
There were several conspiracies about the planes that attacked the Twin Towers. One of the planes left Boston's Logan Airport at 7:59 a.m. The hijackers zoomed the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. The other plane left Logan Airport at 8:14 a.m. The hijackers flew the plane into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m. America had stated that 10 planes were suppose to be hijacked on that day. “Providing new details on the planning of the plot, the commission staff said that al-Qaida planner Khalid Shaihk Mohammed initially proposed a Sept. 11 attack involving 10 planes that would be used to attack CIA and FBI headquarters, unidentified nuclear plants and tall buildings in California and Washington state,” (Brunker). Both planes that flew into the Twin Towers were Boeing 767. The plane was 159 feet long. Another thing that seemed odd was that 9,700 gallons when it should usually have nothing less than 14,000 gallons. The engine was found on Murray Street when it should have been right around the Tower. Things were said about the plane being like a missile since the engine was dropped so far from the Towers. According to German TV footage, the planes front nozzle was caught on fire before going through the building. Conspiracy theories state that there were three things attached to the plan that were likely to explode. After the plane went into the building the plan some how exploded making it look like a missile went into the building or some how it was some sort of bomb. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, drew out the plane and the way the plane was flown into the Towers and it did not seem right. The plane propellers of the Boeing 757 were smaller than the hole it actuall...
...nd incident response are the broad spectrum of activities organizations engage in to provide effective operations, coordination and support. Incident management includes directing acquiring, coordinating and delivering resources to incident sites and sharing information with the public.
2. Detection of Incidents: It cannot succeed in responding to incidents if an organization cannot detect incidents effectively. Therefore, one of the most important aspects of incident response is the detection of incidents phase. It is also one of the most fragmented phases, in which incident response expertise has the least control. Suspected incidents may be detected in innumerable ways.
