Joseph Stack III was announced to be the suicide pilot who was responsible for the tragedy at the IRS. Over 200 IRS workers were in the builing when the attack occured injuring 13 and putting 2 in critical condition. The tradgedy that stuck today is relevant to the citizens of Austin because the ordeal is reminiscent of September 11th and puts fear into our hearts. Although the attack may not have caused any deaths other than the pilot it may possibly have an affect on the process of tax dealings. Posponing tax relations may affect citizens in a major way delaying tax returns that many hope to recieve in a timely manner. As well as possible delays on tax dealing, the ordeal will affect the city of Austin financially and psychologically. Set backs in reconstuction may put dampers on local jons in the Eschon 2 builing and may cause delays in traffic. As for the psycholical affects, workers that were involved in the attack may deal with post traumatic stress and will cause them to not feel as safe in their own work enviornment. The most we can learn from todays tragedy is that although the world may bring us strenuous situations we have to move foward and regroup. Support is key to the healing process for many that may have been affected by the ordeal and Austin will recover.
