Defense agencies personnel

[edit]
"The original estimate for Defense Agencies was 10, which inadvertently included one DoD employee on American Airlines Flight 77, Mr. Bryan C. Jack."

What does this mean? With the previous sentence, it sounds like he was on the flight but lived. — Tempshill 14:06, 8 August 2003 (UTC)[reply]

Giuliani items

[edit]

The following paragraph only needs its 3 first sentences; the remainder is not germane:

Rudy Giuliani press briefing: 49,553 tons removed to Fresh Kills Landfill in 3,788 trucks. 218 confirmed dead, 152 identified. 37 uniformed officers, 32 firefighters, 2 E.M.T.'s, 2 Port Authority Police officers and one New Jersey Fire Department firefighter. For small businesses: http://sba.gov/disaster or FEMA at 1.800.462.9029. 17,000 people took the Staten Island Ferry, 1,037 took Sunset Park Ferry, 8,200 came to Pier 11. The phone number for the Twin Towers Fund for the search and recovery effort is 1.877.870.4278. [4]

Similarly, this paragraph needs cutting:

Rudy Giuliani and George Pataki press briefing: two lanes of Brooklyn Bridge into city to open Thursday. That morning, there were 1000 people on the Brooklyn ferry and 10,000 people on Pier 11 ferry. The government is opening up 5.5 million sq. feet of real estate for business. Individual family grants of up to $14,000 are availabe from the Dept. of Labor (1.800.462.9029). Unemployment assistance is also available at (1.888.209.8124). The State Dept. of Health is giving $60 million to NYC hospitals. The business assistance center at 633 Third Ave. has received 5000 calls and 700 visitors (1.800.ILOVENY). The city is hoping to get Battery Park North and South open in the next two days. The prayer service Sunday 9/23 at Yankee Stadium will be by ticket for families and the uniformed services (fire, police, etc.), and simulcast at Jumbotrons at Staten Island and Brooklyn baseball stadiums. The city has determined it would be too early for the Central Park memorial service originally planned.

Pro-wrestling observance

[edit]

I thought the item on the observance by World Wrestling Entertainment on Sept. 14 was interesting and appropriate. It was indeed perhaps the first by professional athletes (or entertainers if you want), and it was broadcast nationally to a huge following in North America. Is there a bit of snobbery in the removal of this item? If the resumption of major league baseball is allowed, this should be too. — Walloon 00:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seemed insignificant in the scheme of the events, there were hundreds of observances, they don't all merit mention. I don't care if it's included or not, it struck me as fancruft, so I was bold. I do not, however, think the status of the WWE is even remotely comparable to the iconic status of Major League Baseball in the United States. As far as cultural significance I think baseball takes it hands down. IvoShandor 00:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nevertheless, if you want to include Major League Baseball, you have to credit the WWE as well since they held the first event in the aftermath. If you want to delete the WWE reference, you have to delete the baseball one too. In the interests of fairness, I've included both back in the article. Kyle C Haight 07:29, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I don't like the all or nothing scenario you propose here. The claim isn't sourced anyway (as much of this article isn't). Deleting one reference to the WWE doesn't suddenly translate into removing all references to all sports. If the relevance of this event could be proven, I might be more apt to include it. Comparing it to baseball isn't helping its case, if it were football, the fairness argument might work. But comparing the MLB and the WWE isn't really fair to the WWE. The assertion that it was first is what is notable about the event, unless this can be sourced, the WWE isn't significant enough in the scheme of events to be included in my opinion.IvoShandor 08:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~ I'm not a fan of Baseball or WWE, but I see Walloons point. Who are you (Ivo) to decide the importance of one form of entertainment over another? WWE has a large following possible as large as MLB. Just because you do not like one event over the other does not mean it is less important. --Paragoalie (talk) 14:16, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, beginning a ten day period to consider the sins of the past year and do better." Why is this included? The Holiday has no real connection to the attacks and seems to imply some sort of conspiracy —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:- Dunbar714 -- Dunbar714 - (User talk:- Dunbar714 -talk • Special:Contributions/- Dunbar714 -contribs) 15:41, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"96,000 tips" ?

[edit]

See Timeline_for_September_following_the_September_11_attacks#Tuesday.2C_September_18, 2:50pm. In almost any other article I'd have dropped in a {{clarify}}, but I don't want to seem disrespectful of this article. I'm a native speaker of British English, and I just haven't a clue what this means! Is it saying that there were 96,000 pieces of information giving tip-offs about 9/11? Or what? I'm just genuinely puzzled, and hope that someone can clarify it. Thanks. (I was led to read this moving article after the note in Signpost about the 9/11 day timeline - read that one, and this as a follow-on). PamD 10:34, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
