A good example of this is in 102 Minutes when people began calling the PAPD for guidance, this is shown when an officer tells a man in 2 WTC, “I would wait until further notice,”(Dwyer and Flynn, 70). This shows how poor communication puts more lives at risk and if all of the officers had agreed to tell people to evacuate then less lives would be in the line of danger. This was a large contributing factor to the amount of deaths because people did not evacuate due to a lack of consistent information. However, in CNN’s article they provide examples of quality communication between PAPD and citizens, a good example of this is when the officer says, “Just come on down, everybody just come on down. Get down the staircase. Don't take the elevator,”(CNN). This shows that with only one call a PAPD officer was able to provide proper instruction to a citizen and get them out of harm’s way. Both of these examples from two different sources effectively show that quality communication is more important than the amount that is
