Mistakes, Oversights, Problems

One of the main purposes of the 9/11 Commission was to identify and correct mistakes that were occuring at all levels of the United States government and in private companies such as the airlines that allowed the hijackers to carry out thier attacks.

Think about what you have read and come up with a "Top 3 List" of the worst mistakes, oversights, and/or problems that made you think "that should have been fixed," or ""that should have never happened," or even "WHAT WERE WE THINKING?!?!?".

Post a single comment with your "Top 3" list in order from least important (3) to most important (1).

  8. 1. The airport searchers did not clearly go and find out why the hijackers had set off the alarms.

    2.The Country mostly for letting Illegal Imigration, and lettting legal immigrants into our country.

    3. None of the airline bases tried to come up with a plan, immediately, that could save most of the people lives, evan if it would cost some injuries to unlucky people.
