I know that. Obviously I am not making my point.

This all sounds good from a movie perspective but it wouldn't be so easy to
do in real life, and the outcome would probably be less than newsworthy.


Jet aircraft hitting the WTC towers at high speed and exploding in
mushroom clouds of flame sounded good from a movie perspective, too,
until it actually happened.

I am more worried about large trucks and what they can carry and where they
can deliver it.


Terrorists concentrate on the spectacular, not on the destructive.
The idea is to maximum shock value and media appeal. The actual level
of destruction is far less important. Terrorists want their
adversaries to become frightened and irrational (and thus easily
manipulated). They don't actually care about the targets.
