Emergency Preparedness [ was Globe editorial calls FM radio "outdated

Would it have made that much difference? Most of the communications  
antennas were on the WTC towers. If you had ever been up there you would have  
seen it resembled a lawn of antennas up there. 
 
When they knock out your communications system it doesn't make too much  
difference how many alerts you send out. I can tell you the people with any 
sort  of radios had crowds around them when no one's cell phones worked.
