Sergeant Matt Rosenberg, an army medic at the Pentagon, is studying "a new medical emergency disaster plan based on the unlikely scenario of an airplane crashing into the place." (Maraniss 9/16/2001)

The day before, Rosenberg later recalls in an interview with the Office of Medical History, he called the FBI with questions about who would have medical jurisdiction if such an event were to take place. "Believe it or not, the day prior to the incident, I was just on the phone with the FBI, and we were talking 'so who has command should this happen, who has the medical jurisdiction, who does this, who does that,' and we talked about it and talked about it, and he helped me out a lot. And then the next day, during the incident, I actually found him. He was out there on the incident that day." (Office of Medical History 9/2004, pp. 9)
