Is America better equipped today to handle another 911 attack?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) January 24th, 2011

From live coverage of 911 that I was watching that morning, it definitely appeared that America was not prepared for this attack. I was shaving, around 9 A.M., when the news bulletin came across my tv screen. I yelled for my wife to come see this, that America was under attack. It reminded me of the attack on Pearl Harbor, only a different time and place. Panic hit the streets of New York City. People were stuck in the north and south towers with no avenue of escape. Both towers melted and collapsed like toothpicks. Question: is America better prepared to handle another 911 attack today? Will the true answer of what made the steel beams in both towers melt, ever be known?
