   Now that you mention it, it was on Fox and not on C-Span (Brian Lamb 
please forgive me). 

From the transcript. 

And we also had backup centers at the police department. In Brooklyn, we 
had another backup center, and we had a virtual command center. So when 
that command center was inoperable, within a half hour of September 11 
we were able to move -- or within a half hour on September 11 we were 
able to move immediately to another command center.

So the way you're interpreting it, it was as if that was the one fixed 
command center. It was not. There were backup command centers, and it 
was a virtual command center, and it was selected because that's where 
all the federal agencies were that we would have to be in contact with, 
including some that would give you the intelligence that you needed 
during an attack.

  He also mentioned that one of the (very valid) reasons to pick WTC 
"nd the reason that that site made sense was it was also the location of 
the customs service, the Secret Service and a number of the federal 
agencies, some of which I'm not even sure I can mention at this date, 
that we had to be in contact with."
  
   There quite a few things to ding RG about, but the command post 
probably isn't one in real life.

   See above. In addition NYPD, FDNY, the Port Police (I think that is 
what the name of the agency with first jurisdiction at WTC was called) 
all have their own mobile command centers that would be useful. Although 
you can't necessarily sandwich all players into the RVs.
