Geoff Metcalf also predicted dire emergencies stemming from Y2K. Geoff is a good man, but he needs to use more common sense about this wierdo stuff.

The Pentagon was not heavily damaged because it had just been retrofitted to withstand terrorist bomb attacks. Why is this so hard to understand? A commercial airliner is not designed to penetrate reinforced buildings. It's relatively fragile and light weight. It's like a thin metal ballon filled with fuel. When they crash head-on into something hard, there's not going to be much left that's recognizable.

"Geoff Metcalf also predicted dire emergencies stemming from Y2K."

Y2K was a whole 'nuther ball of wax. Anyone who looked at the Naval War College's Y2K website knew that the gov't was taking it very seriously -- and the hardened bunkers they built and stocked with supplies in the event the worst-case scenarios played out is solid evidence of just how seriously they took it.

Now, that said, this tripe is such garbage that I cannot fathom why WND is running with it. The mind boggles. It's almost as if they're trying to stack the deck against themselves in their current pitched battle for Congressional press-pass recognition status. At the same time they're insisting that they're serious journalists, they publish this embarassing horse manure not even worthy of tabloid "journalism". WTF were they thinking???
