How 9/11 Changed The Aviation Industry (Simple Flying)

In December 2011, TSA introduced the Precheck program, which allowed vetted travelers to avoid the long security lines in exchange for a five-year membership fee of $85.

No sharp objects were allowed in the cabin, including such items as nail files and pen knives. The 2008 onset of the Great Recession in the United States dealt another blow to commercial aviation. A slew of new security regulations were implemented in the following years. Shake-ups in the major players in commercial aviation, in addition to new, intensified security procedures, completely changed the landscape of the industry. Airlines identified new, sustainable revenue streams in the wake of the upheaval. According to the International Air Transport Association, United States passenger airlines experienced a net loss of $8.0 billion in 2001, and revenues did not exceed 2000 figures until 2004. The 2008 merger between Delta and Northwest Airlines was the first significant act of consolidation during this period. Another crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth aircraft crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

9/11 ceremonies important to honor memory of those lost, Cape first ... (Cape Cod Times)

One thing common to all ceremonies whether large or small is the commitment to keeping the memory of the events of 9/11 alive.

And it is part of the healing process. “It’s a great way to keep the memory going.” Last year, the 20th anniversary of 9/11 brought several hundred people to Chatham’s memorial ceremony. “One hundred firefighters every year are lost in the line of duty, and 343 were lost in just one event. [Want to attend a 9/11 memorial event? "We want to be aware of the significance of what happened and not forget. “We lost 343 brothers and sisters in one event (9-11). We can reflect on this and hope for the future.” More: I mean, they (New York City) lost somebody in every household, and to come back from that is something else.” In Truro, it is equally simple with a moment of silence, the reading of “The Firefighter’s Prayer” and a prayer by a local pastor.

And in less than an hour, as passengers made a heroic effort to wrest control of the plane back from the hijackers, Flight 93 would go down in Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. At 9:20 a.m., after learning the fate of United 175, Ballinger used the ACARS (Aircraft Communication and Response System) to type and transmit this chilling message: “’Beware any cockpit intrusion…two aircraft in NY hit Trade Center Builds…” At the time of the report, the FBI had not yet identified the occupant of the seat on the return flight on 9/10. Similar to the four jets the hijackers crashed, Flight 23 was a scheduled transcontinental trip by a wide-bodied Boeing 767 with a load of about 160 passengers, six flight attendants and more than 50,000 gallons of jet fuel.

As with 9/11, your government has failed you — again (The Hill)

The scope of our nation's failure to care for its most vulnerable people during the pandemic has been orders of magnitude worse than on 9/11.

His book, “ [The Ground Truth](https://www.amazon.com/Ground-Truth-Untold-America-Attack/dp/1594488940),” exploring the similarities of the preparedness and response to 9/11 with the preparedness and response to Katrina, was a New York Times Notable Book. Once containment is lost, and the potential for mass fatalities across boundaries becomes clear, it is no longer appropriate for the states to take the lead; in its transformation from an epidemic to a pandemic, it also has been transformed from a public health emergency to a crisis requiring that we provide, as the Constitution’s preamble puts it, a “common defense.” His book “ [Way Too Fast: An American Reckoning](https://www.amazon.com/Way-Too-Fast-Reckoning-DeGennaro/dp/B09W747ZPY#:~:text=Way%20Too%20Fast%2C%20An%20American,of%20our%20popular%20music%20literature.),” was published in 2022.

But before it can be accomplished, someone — a president, perhaps, or an association of governors? The pandemic was broken into 50 separate epidemics and dumped into the reluctant embrace of the surprised and unprepared governors.” This would require a major realignment of responsibilities that should be defined by act of Congress. As long as a pathogen can be contained, states should take the lead in containment measures; federal government agencies are there to support them. You’re going to be missing 50 percent of the cases.” Dr. As former CDC Director Robert Redfield put it later, “That whole idea that you were going to diagnose cases based on symptoms, isolate them, and contact-trace around them was not going to work. In other words, there would be time to react. Both seemed formidable prior to the critical events.

And of course, Congress will need to provide much more funding if we are to accomplish the goal that was intended by HSARPA by our DHS founders. First and foremost, HSARPA should conduct a net mission assessment of HSARPA that evaluates the current threat landscape and provides direction, vision, and a new mission statement for HSARPA. The vision was for HSARPA to perform necessary research and transform that research into necessary solutions to our homeland security challenges, based on the model of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which has been critical to informing the best national security team in the world. I still consider DHS a new federal bureaucracy that needs to be able to adapt based on lessons learned. Additionally, Congress is currently considering ways to sharpen the mission of the office for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction at DHS. The human suffering and the staggering economic costs should be a clarion call for global catastrophic risk strategies to become an actionable, and properly funded, national priority. Many think tanks, legislators, and former DHS employees have commented that HSARPA has lacked a particular focus.

They will feel the connection that will come to pass on September 11, 2001, and how our country was forever changed. Because on this day, it is not about the past, it’s about the future. To me, that’s the greatest lesson of September 11. But what we did change — what we will not change, what we cannot change, never will, is the character of this nation that the terrorists thought they could wound. We’ll continue to monitor and disrupt those terrorist activities wherever we find them, wherever they exist. Think of all of your loved ones, particularly those on that flight — ordinary citizens who said, “We will not let this stand,” who risked and lost their lives so even more people would not die. They raced into the breach between the fourth and fifth corridors. Twenty-one years ago — twenty-one years, and still we kept our promise: Never Forget.

The pandemic changed the way we think about work and life. - During the attacks, firefighters, police officers and everyday Americans did their part to help. New York City was once again the epicenter of a terrible disaster. We’ll need to be strong, brave and pull together. The acts of terror made us feel vulnerable, afraid and concerned for our safety. We persevered with our lives and did not give in to those who wanted to destroy us. We must change our mindset about work and life and conclude that there will always be tough times ahead. The hijackers crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and one plane plowed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These memories help us heal, but they can also open up the hurt and take us back to that moment when the grief was so raw." Sadly, we learned about the fate of those trapped inside the buildings.

How Andy Murray saved Bruce Boudreau's life on 9/11. (HockeyFeed)

For many of us who follow the National Hockey League, long time head coach Bruce Boudreau has long been one of the more loveable characters in the game.

Boudreau was, at the time, working in the Los Angeles Kings organization as the head coach of the Manchester Monarchs and it was his role with that team that would prove to be his saving grace. As many of you know Garnet "Ace" Bailey and Mark Davis were both working as scouts for the Kings' organization at the time and as neither of them were coaches, there was no need for them to attend the coaches' dinner. Boudreau can often be found with a big smile on his face and is known to simply be one of the truly nice guys in the sport, and it's crazy to think that we nearly lost him before his career as a head coach ever got underway.
