Carranza, a dirty nuke on Wall Street wouldn't be a big deal. The blast would be trivial. Then there'd be some radioactive muck spread around.

Get the fire department and a bunch of geiger counters down there and start hosing it down. Within a few days it would be good enough to set up shop again.

Building air filtration would probably take out the particles which would stop the inside of buildings being contaminated.

I don't think it would be a very big deal.

Chernobyl was very, very big deal and I got radioactive stuff on my head in far away England. Sure, our family has had statistically more than our share of cancer, but the authorities would tell us we are just statistically unlucky [and should have kept out of the sun - the cause of skin cancer, in which melanin-deficient Kiwi baby-boomers are setting a record].

Good luck to them doing a terror strike. I think it'll be an anti-climax and will get the reaction; "Huh? Is that all they can do?" Which would be worse than not doing anything. Look at the Shoe Bomber for example. What a pathetic joke! An embarrassment to the terrorism industry. We are supposed to be terrorized, not reduced to giggling at their antics.

They hit the jackpot with the Twin Towers attacks. They'll never do such a great attack again.

I think the terrorist types should be more worried about what George II is going to do on 11 September than excited about what they might have planned.
