What was the main problem with the response to the Twin Towers bombing, according to post incident review, are clear instructions a possibility, can written messages be clear with mispelling?
Why does the military use short commands?
Does the message, "Ignore plan A. Proceed with plan B." indicate a chance for error in an operation?

According to the architect who designed the World Trade Center, the twin towers were made to with stand the impact of one 747 sized plane. They were not made to withstand the impact of 2. The problem was they never thought about the amount of fuel a jumbo jet would carry fully tanked when hitting the buildings. This fuel ran into stairwells and elevator shafts and cause a chimeny effect which weakened the structor further and the collapse.
Taking that into account, what kind of evacuation plan would you suggest? Think about all the people that did get evacuated before the collapse, I think the emergency response teams did an absolutely incredible job!!!!!!
Why does the military use short commands? Easy answer. Use them everyday so they are part of your vocabulary. Then when under pressure (combat) and you need to say something over the radio you can be as brief as possible and still be understood. You don't want to tie up the radio while others wait for their turn when every second counts !
Does the message...... indicate a chance for error? NO it indicates that plan A will no longer suffice due to circumstances. And that leadership had enough forthought to make other plans to fit changing circumstances.

Anything can cause an error when you have humans running things.
