Giuliani's 9. 1 1

Giuliani had just finished breakfast in a hotel in midtown Manhattan when the plane crashed into the World Trade Center building. He arrived at the World Trade Center by bus and just saw a man jump off the World Trade Center building.

200 1 9 September at 9: 59 am 1 1 The South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed and huge smoke rose. Giuliani tried to talk to the vice president in an office two blocks away. Suddenly it was dark and the smoke swallowed everything around him.

On the morning of September 1 1, the north tower collapsed, killing the director of new york fire department, the head of the police department of the port authority and most of their senior assistants. "9 1 1 Committee Report" said: "Mayor Giuliani, the head of the inspection and fire department and the head of the emergency management office quickly moved to the north and established the emergency operation headquarters in the police academy. In the next few hours, weeks and months, thousands of ordinary people and new york city, state and federal workers worked day and night to make new york city stand up from the ruins and restore its former appearance. "

The New York Times recorded a clip of Giuliani's work at that time: Giuliani walked through a basement and appeared in Church Street, with white ashes on his head and shoulders. He walked into the smoke and comforted a policeman and a large number of reporters. After walking two miles, he called the TV station of an abandoned fire station and appealed to everyone to stay calm. Three hours later, he held a press conference with New York Governor George pataki.

"Today is obviously the most difficult day in the history of this city. The tragedy we are experiencing is like a nightmare. We deeply sympathize with the victims of this evil non-terrorist act ... Our focus now is to save lives as much as possible. " Giuliani told the people of new york.

On the night of September 1 1, Giuliani only slept for two hours and visited the World Trade Center site the next day. Later that day, he consulted a psychologist and asked how to appease the frightened people in new york. He tried to attend those funerals, often five times a day, to share people's grief and appease their emotions. Almost every victim's funeral was attended by senior officials from new york. Giuliani wrote in his biography: In difficult times, people want to see a leader who is stronger than them, but he is also a person.

On September 12, Ground Zero of the World Trade Center was still in ruins. On September 13, the New York City Government resumed operation and began to pay salaries to civil servants. On the 6th day, the new york Stock Exchange opened. In the next few weeks, Giuliani was more than just the mayor. Day after day, he calmly explained to people what had happened, which made people feel calm and let people know that someone was in charge. He also called on frightened people in new york to go out for dinner, and called on tourists to visit new york again.

Many people think that Giuliani's performance after 9. 1 1 rebuilt his reputation as the mayor of new york. Before September 1 1, new york people seemed to be tired of Giuliani, and their public opinion support rate fell to a low point, and their personal lives were in a mess. 9. After11,people will shout: Rudy! Rudy. When people look back to evaluate Giuliani's leadership, they will find that his fiery personality and uncompromising way of doing things during his tenure as mayor have become a major advantage of his crisis management in the chaotic weeks after 9. 1 1.

There are also many voices of criticism and doubt. A new york person told reporters that anyone who meets 9. 1 1 could do as well as Giuliani. Others think that it is unnecessary for Giuliani to go to the scene of the attack in September 1 1. In addition, in 1997, he set the advanced emergency command center in the World Trade Center despite the opposition of critics, and was also criticized.

In the eyes of many analysts, the great prestige built in the emergency response of 1 1 in September convinced Giuliani that he was an indispensable figure in new york, and he tried to overturn the mayor's term limit and run for re-election. After failing, I want to extend my term of office for three months. Giuliani tried to persuade other opponents, such as Green and Fu Rui of the Democratic Party and Bloomberg of the Democratic Party, to support the extension of the mayor's term. Bloomberg even agreed.

There is no doubt that many people want Giuliani to stay, but American election politics will not stop, and Giuliani can't stay. A new york lawyer told reporters that eight years as mayor is enough for a person, and people are tired of it, no matter how brilliant he has been.

Giuliani supported Bloomberg and supported him to run for mayor of new york, but he didn't succeed. His advice to his successor is: You don't have to be a controversial person, but you must stick to something instead of worrying about being unpopular.

At the end of his term, Giuliani made a series of speeches and gave many interviews to build his political legacy in the eyes of the public. Vincent Cannato, an American historian, believes that with the passage of time, people will find that Giuliani's political legacy is not only based on 9. 1 1, but also makes new york better, safer, more prosperous and more confident than when he took over eight years ago. The debate about Giuliani's achievements will continue, but his contribution is undeniable. After leaving office, Giuliani became a consultant of a large international law firm, and he also set up a security consulting agency: G iuliani Partners to provide security advice to enterprises and the government. In addition, he gave paid speeches in the United States and around the world, talking about security and economic affairs.

Giuliani resents being criticized for profiting from the reputation established in September 1 1. He thinks that he was very successful before the September 1 1 incident, only to make himself more famous. September 1 1 is not the only reason for his success.

Some people say that his charm comes from September 1 1, which gives him the capital to participate in the 2008 US presidential election and is regarded as a potential candidate for the 20 12 US presidential election. Giuliani failed in the 2008 general election. He didn't give up hope.

On the last day of his term as mayor of new york, Giuliani came to the Zero Zone. Seeing all this, he still felt very angry. "It's like the first time I saw the ruins filled with smoke." 10 years later, Giuliani thinks that the United States has become safer, but loopholes still exist.

For Giuliani, 9. 1 1 is an indelible mark on his mind, just like the assassination of Pearl Harbor and Kennedy. On the eve of the tenth anniversary of September 1 1, Giuliani said, "September 1 1 is the worst day in my life and the best day." He thinks the worst day is because of the incredible death, destruction and sin that day. The best day is because the best human nature-sympathy, courage, kindness and selflessness-has been fully displayed on that day.

"September 1 1 is the worst day in my life and the best day."

"In difficult times, people want to see a leader who is stronger than them, but he is also human."

"You don't have to be a controversial person, but you must stick to something instead of worrying about being unpopular."
