Please use common sense.

Security STOPS bombers from placing bombs.

They stopped nothing.

Only the use of the remains of their former stock of detonators, improvised with some other common items, saved the day.

Without the chemist, they were in a quandry, being hunted, and having some more work to be done by incompetent, but zelous, drones.

BTW, love your screen name.

Appears that it was a full scale attack that failed because the bombs failed to detonate.

One witness also heard what sounded like a champagne cork popping.

I hope someone had the presence of mind to grab him for the cops.

In PC-Britain, if a bystander did that, he would be arrested for assault.

Heard that passengers tried to nab someone who threw a pack into the subway and was running away.

Too bad one of the passengers didn't have a gun and was a good enough shot to get the guy in the leg.

To rattle the US markets opening in 20 minutes as well.

Especially since it might just be a hangfire instead of a plain old dud.

"I can believe that groups of young muslims would attempt copy-cat attacks without the benefit of skilled bomb making ability...maybe that's what happened."

High probability. Terrorist leaders (groups) encourage independent acts of terror. OBL insists that he is not the 'brains of the mob.' His job is to cheer when $hit happens.

If that is true, it's time to level all training and planning facilities around the world. The 'masques'. Smoke the hives.

Observation: 1. 2 weeks exactly 2. 8:40 NY Time I'd say the 8:40 +- time was used to get the USA immediate reaction. Most of us were sleeping when the last attacks occurred. It's also the approximate time of the first tower hit on 9-11.

No. Just look at the time of the first post on this thread, which was well before 8:40 NY time.
