    During an interview of three family members, I was able to learn more information about the events of 9/11. My mom, Jamie Goldman, was the first person I interviewed. She told me she was helping a friend with her new business in Aiken, SC. She first heard on the radio, breaking news, that a plane had flown into one of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. Her first thought was that a plane had crashed accidentally. As the day went on, she learned of even more horrible acts against our country, and then realized our Nation was under attack from terrorist. My mom was heartbroken, scared, sad, and mad all at the same time. She struggles with forgiving the terrorist but knows that God would want her to forgive them. The song "God Bless the USA" is a song that helps my mom cope with the events of 9/11. My mom did not know anyone personally that was killed or injured on 9/11. She said, "after 9/11, our country has been a country at war. We have stopped loving our neighbors and instead, started judging them."

    9/11 conspiracy theories came about just six weeks after the terrorist attacks. Alex Jones, one of the earliest 9/11 conspiracy theorists did a broadcast and said, “98 percent chance this was a government-orchestrated controlled bombing"(Jones). From this viewpoint, the government knew what was going to happen on September 11, 2001. It was the government’s plan to put explosives in the buildings. Michael Ruppert is another early conspiracy theorist who had a similar idea than Alex Jones on what happened during the attacks. He watched the 9/11 attacks live on TV as the second plane hit the South Twin Tower. “I may not have reported it right away, but I was in full investigative mode from the second I saw the second airplane hit the tower” (Ruppert).

    Continuity Planning as a Benefit to All “Continuity planning facilitates the performance of essential functions during all-hazards emergencies or other situations that may disrupt normal operations” (FEMA, 2013, p.1). The bottom line with Continuity Planning is that it allows day-to-day operations to continue concurrently with Emergency Response Operations. The September 11, 2001 response to terrorist attack in New York was an excellent example of this. While planes were crashing into the World Trade Center, and first responders were reacting to the disaster, the government of New York City still had duties and responsibilities to other parts of city.

  • Disaster Recovery Planning

    Disaster Recovery Planning is the critical factor that can prevent headaches or nightmares experienced by an organization in times of disaster. Having a disaster recovery plan marks the difference between organizations that can successfully manage crises with minimal cost, effort and with maximum speed, and those organizations that cannot. By having back-up plans, not only for equipment and network recovery, but also detailed disaster recovery plans that precisely outline what steps each person involved in recovery efforts should undertake, an organization can improve their recovery time and minimize the disrupted time for their normal business functions. Thus it is essential that disaster recovery plans are carefully laid out and carefully updated regularly. Part of the plan should include a system where regular training occurs for network engineers and managers. In the disaster recovery process extra attention should also be paid to training any new employees who will have a critical role in this function. Also, the plan should require having the appropriate people actually practice what they would do to help recover business function should a disaster occur. Some organizations find it helpful to do this on a quarterly or semi-annual basis so that the plan stays current with the organization’s needs.
