Is anyone worried about an emergency that the 9/11 Museum would have to be evacuated while they visit? Would this deter you from visiting this museum (meaning the idea that some emergency would develop and one would need to evacuate the site) more than any other museum or tourist attraction?

No, but when I was there and explaining the slurry wall to my daughter, it did remind me that we were underground and the river is very, very close!

As with everywhere I go, I remember to do what I've told my daughter since she was ten years old--always note where the exits are.

No I'm not worried. I don't live in the world of paranoia.

Among other things, the museum, which opened to the public on Wednesday, serves as a reminder that hundreds of people died at the very same place on Sept. 11, 2001, because the exit stairs in the twin towers were catastrophically inadequate.
No, hundreds of people died because a bunch of crazy people decided to ram a plane into the building. NYT, I thought you were better than that.

Thanks, I didn't read the article, so I didn't see that. What a bizarre thing to say.

Did we forget that about 15,000 of us GOT OUT using those stairs?

If our Air Force did its job that day we would not have had to worry about it.

Oh so now it's the military's fault? Let me tell ya something. If the DC rejects in Washington did their job the first time when the truck bomb went off in the parking garage 9/11 would have never happened in the first place. We knew the threat existed then and did nothing.

I love how people who never served like to run their mouth about people who do.
