Srexley,

Not to be argumentative about this, but your figure of 50,000 for the WTC is the Fire Marshall's "Maximum Capacity" figure. The daily workforce level is closer to 14,000 in each tower. The first plane hit at 8:45 AM, 15 minutes prior to the opening hour of many businesses in the building. The buildings would not have been occupied by anywhere near the 50,000 figure at the moment of the attack.

I stand by my statement. The comparison with Viet Nam is false. Furthermore, I'm disappointed that the genocidal loss of three million lives in our irresponsible adventure in Viet Nam is of so little concern to you.
