The author discusses and analyzes the 9/11 collapse and compares it to other historical disasters in terms of causes as well as the influences of the clashing of power as well as attributions of responsibility. The author goes thorough numerous different historical events in which the underlying forms of politics, power and public/society influences are discussed. Finally, the last event discussed is the World Trade Center. The author discusses the fireproofing material surrounding the beams in the towers, how exit strategies failed, and the remarkable fact that the towers withstood being struck by large jets. He noted, that the buildings might have continued to stand if it weren't for the fires that we couldn't put out and the 2000F temperature reached. Then he brings up the point about how this same situation can affect other sky scrapers in NY. The politics as well as memorial funding is also discussed toward the end of this paper as well.
The literature presented here has tried to focus on impacts of human health owing to air pollution to better measure environmental injustice.
