TOPIC: Although officials said there was no specific threat against any target in New York, security was tight at bridges, landmarks and anniversary ceremonies, according to a report by The Associated Press. After a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani began reading the 2,801 names of the victims who lost their lives at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The 196 people who continued the reading included victims' family members, people who survived the attack, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and actor Robert De Niro. EXPERTS: ExpertSource can offer several highly qualified experts to comment on this story:

Dr. Robert Pasick, of LeadersConnect & CEOConnect, is a seasoned psychologist who teaches, coaches and guides in business and 9/11 crisis preparedness.

"In people's minds, I believe the events of 9/11 and the crisis in the economy have merged and people no longer trust our leaders to provide sound guidance and judgement," explains Dr. Rob Pasick, clinical and corporate psychologist at the University of Michigan Business School who has counseled business executives and those involved in the 9/11 tragedy.
