We didn't crucify, sue or run the New York city government out of town on a rail . . . or for that matter, the Bush regime, despite its long ties to the Saudi oil regime and the soft-pedal on Bin Laden prior to 9/11. Remember that Clinton (yes, the draft dodger and womanizer) was trying to take Bin Laden out and Bush cancelled that entire effort. Also remember that 9/11 was the second Al Queda airline hijack plot as well as the second attack on the World Trade Center, and that a lot of firefighters might be alive today if the Port Authority had followed recommendations after the first bombing and installed radio repeaters to eliminate the many problems experienced with radio communications during the first and second attacks at WTC.
If it had been an attack, well, shit happens. People die. First responders do their best to be part of the solution rather than part of the casualty count. The crisis management people need to be inside the opponent's decision curve, figuring out how to outwit that second-stage attack and mobilizing both relief and reaction forces accordingly.
If someone wipes out driving a stock car on a slow, easy gentle curve at 35 MPH -- in other words, dealing with this would-be signage placement -- do you think they're a good candidate for race car driver in the Indy 500?
Boston completely and utterly blew it. And they know it. Here's hoping they have the guts to recognize it and do something about it.
