  "summary": "Former NYC Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler has shared his reflections on the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy. Skyler describes the period as one of immense difficulty in making decisions, given the loss of 2,700 lives and the emotional turmoil that gripped the city. When Mayor Bloomberg took office on January 1, 2002, the World Trade Center site was still engulfed in smoke, and the economic damage from the attacks had already begun to manifest. Amidst the grief and political tension, Skyler emphasizes the importance of leaders listening to all perspectives and crafting policies that prioritize the city's best interests, even if it means disappointing some. Skyler believes that, looking back, these decisions have proven to be resilient and effective.",
