Audio tapes have been released of phone calls made to the emergency services on the morning of Sep 11th, 2001 as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were being destroyed by hijacked planes. The New York Times newspaper, which sought the release of the recordings, says they demonstrate a breakdown in communication between the different branches of the city's emergency services. Laura Trevelyan reports from New York.
The voices of the emergency telephone operators and the dispatchers from the fire department can be heard on the tapes, imploring those trapped inside the World Trade Center to be calm and sit tight. The tapes showed that many of the callers were told to stay put, a standard advice for skyscraper fires. Yet on the ground, the fire and police chiefs have taken the decision to evacuate the towers. There was no procedure in place for that information to be shared with telephone operators. A flaw, which city officials say, has since been fixed.
美国有关当局公布了2001年9月11日早上世贸大厦被劫持的飞机袭击时紧急救援部门接听的求救电话录音。当初要求公布录音的纽约时报表示，这些录音磁带表明了当时纽约市紧急救援服务部门各分支机构之间信息沟通的瘫痪状况。Laura Trevelyan从纽约发回报道。
从公布的磁带中可以听到紧急救援电话接线员和消防部门调度员的声音，他们要求被困在世贸大厦内的人保持冷静并待在原地。从录音中可以听出，就象在一般摩天大楼发生火灾时的标准处理办法一样，许多打电话要求求援的人都被告知在原地等候救援。然而，当时在地面实施救援的消防和警察长官却决定疏散大厦内的人员。当局没有制订出相关的程序，使这些现场做出的决定未能传达给救援电话的接线员。纽约市的官员表示，这个缺陷自那时起已经得以修正。
