The Impact of 9/11/01 on Law Enforcement and Security

I’m working on a History question and need guidance to help me study.

HBO created the film “In Memoriam: New York City, 9/11/01” just a few months after the attack in order to preserve first hand accounts of the event. This terrorist attack is considered the most documented event in history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKBHtyEmZoc(watch from 1:55 to 14:22) As you watch, answer the following:

1. Describe the first responders who arrived at the scene.

2. What problems were encountered by the first responders?

Of the 2,977 victims killed in the September 11 attacks, 412 were emergency workers in New York City who responded to the World Trade Center. This included:

• 343 firefighters (including a chaplain and two paramedics) of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY);
• 37 police officers of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department (PAPD);
• 23 police officers of the New York City Police Department (NYPD); and
• 8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics from private emergency medical services
• 1 patrolman from the New York Fire Patrol
• 3.How should we remember those that died on 9/11, including 412 first responders?
