Guest Plastic Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 While this site is about any structures going up there's news that a building was going to be torn down.Terrorist masterminds were planning to destro LAs tallest building by flying a plane into it. This is from the sam e terrorist group that destroyed The World Trade Center. I don't know what were' gonna do but just hope the don't remember Houston.

RedScare Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Dude, that was 4 years ago. It has been talked about before, but is strangely void of details. Frankly, I think it is another stunt to scare people. Think "Jose Padilla". Remember him? So little valid evidence that the Justice Dept. dropped charges. So, go ahead and take down the plastic and duct tape. It is just election season again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 From what I heard, the plot was going to use Malaysian Muslim men with the "infamous" shoe bombs, and breaking into the cockpit, but the mastermind was caught, and the idea all fell to hell. Not trying to be funny, that is what I heard on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Old news-it's all beside the point anymore. It doesn't matter as long as it scares the hell out of lazy brained people. What pisses me off is that I fell for another of Plastic's adventures in trolling. I thought maybe it was refering to another historic structure here in Houston being knocked down in the middle of the night. {nmainguy smacks nmainguy upside the head for once again being so gullible.} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westguy Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 If they were anything like Richard Reid, then it should've been no problem. I'm no scientician, but I thought the C4 equired an electric current to detonate. What he tried to do was light it with a match. I'm pretty sure that won't work.

I don't know what were' gonna do but just hope the don't remember Houston.As much sense as it'd make to hit the oil/gas infrastructure, Houston will probably never be a target. As far as terrorists are concerned, the largest and wealthiest population centers should be targeted. Firstly, because you disrupt more peoples' lives in a more direct way. Secondly, because the terrorists seem to strike at symbols of national power, and we lack those symbols in almost every way. A lot of Americans can identify Library Tower or other high-profile buildings along the coasts or in Chicago. How many can identify any of the buildings along Smith, Louisiana, or Travis streets?

FLying int a build,blowing up a refinery or nuking Houston would seriously disable the nation and world's oil supply it would heard The Arab World's profit. WHile we depend on them they depend on us. Without oil comsumption the world's oild and gas industry would go slump. If that goes slump so does most of it's source......The Middle East.

They never named it. US authorities assumed that was what they were talking about.Y'all can crawl out from under your desks now. This was 4 years ago.

Montrose1100 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well, not to flatter ourselves... The area known as the ship channel is probibly the most money generating industrial area in the nation. Infact, I rember like 20 articles about hitting the ship channel... all in vivid details. But the said its the "economic heart of the nation" and "A blow to the houston ship channel would put the country at a stop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
