An interesting concern, in light of recent threats against NYC tourist helicopters, no? When I first heard this, I thought.."hmmm..the bad guys must be getting desperate"..

A helicopter into a building..no biggie.

Now, a helicopter with someone in control dumping something over a major metro area..

I think I'd buy judicial meanz or HipShot's (I can't remember which posted this) idea that they'd use the choppers to dump a load of something into the a/c air handlers of a major office building. But I think a general dump over the city would be wasted. I say this because of the incredibly strong air currents that flow in and around those buildings. Any agent would be rapidly dispersed and therefore rendered ineffective by dilution. It's like when they hit you with tear gas in the army the first aid is always to face into the wind and the effects will quickly dissipate.

Now a helicopter with a nuke aboard exploding at somewhere above ground level would cause devistation across the entire city.

Why does this remind me of the Pakistanis they were looking for who might have had rope burns or injuries from rappelling? The alert was a couple of weeks ago.

Which narrows the time frame down to a summer attack on a hot, calm day.
