Some journalist noted on the TV that the towers usually have 10,000 people in them coming to work at that hour. 10,000...

Yep.. but there were 50,000 people in those towers back in 1993 when the first bombing attempt was made...

That's something that many folks, regrettably, forget about.. The casualty count could have been astronomical..

And can you imagine the public response to the loss of 15-25,000 people who would have likely been trapped in those upper stories? People who would have been jumping out of those windows enmasse?

Talk about waking a "sleeping dragon and filling him with a terrible resolve"...
