I'm with you, hard to believe 25 years. Does point out that World Trade Center was a target long before 9/11 though.

I still remember thinking that the prosecutor was being foolishly arrogant for mocking the bombers as inept. That just seemed too much like a challenge for another group to take up.
Not to mention how close the bombers came to critically damaging the structural backbone of the north tower.

1LT William Clardy - My friends said they had to walk down nearly a hundred floors in the dark. Rick Rescorla warned of the potential attack before it happened on 9/11.

Monday morning quarterbacking is great, but I think you're right on the challenge. Fortunately bombers weren't structural engineers.

Hopefully, our country's Administration is examining any policy and infrastructure deficiencies that may be present since 911 (17 years ago, that still has us in a continuous war) that could have been shored up 25 years ago. Thank you for putting this in the forefront of our conscious thoughts SGT (Join to see).
