Tall buildings are not inherently unsafe as work and living spaces but more could be done to enhance safety within them, a report by MPs said. Preventing tragedies such as the attack on the World Trade Centre was almost impossible, but the events of September 11 highlighted the need for improved evacuation procedures, according to the Transport, Local Government and the Regions Committee. 04/06/03 : The threat of ‘catastrophic’ terrorist attacks must be taken extremely seriously by Britain s business community, security experts warned tonight. In the wake of September 11, businesses have to make detailed continuity plans to deal with the aftermath of any disaster. The sombre message was conveyed at the launch of an initiative designed to help businesses cope with anything from a terror attack to a simple fire. 11/9/03: British victims of the September 11 attacks were being remembered, on the second anniversary of the terrorist atrocity. Families of the 67 Britons who died when two hijacked passenger planes slammed into the twin towers of New York s World Trade Centre will gather at a garden dedicated to their memory. More than 750 relatives and guests will visit the site in London s Grosvenor Square, which is overlooked by the United States Embassy and which was the focus of grief in the aftermath of the tragedy.
