New York City Department of Buildings, World Trade Center Building Code Task Force. Findings and Recommendations
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack and subsequent collapse of the World Trade Center were a national tragedy with an enormous impact on New York City. In light of these events, the Department of Buildings deemed it imperative to establish a Task Force to ensure that requirements, standards and practices in the design and construction of buildings provide safety for occupants of tall buildings. While the Task Force found that the current NYC Building Code contains stringent safety provisions, in a world of unknown and elevated risks we must ensure that our standards are the highest we can make them without compromising our ability to live, work, and build in New York City. On March 19, 2002 the NYC Department of Buildings convened the World Trade Center Building Code Task Force (Task Force) to review current building design, construction and operating requirements and determine if modifications for extreme events were needed to ensure public safety in new and existing buildings.
