I've done that search several times. That's where I came up with the 2006 project date.
I remember reading about that when I was little!
tomorrow.
Don't know if you are familiar with the 1947 Texas City disaster.
I read about it when I was doing some background research for a chemical safety video I was making. Pretty horrible.
Kinda figured that. Just an FYI to everyone.
Recall that LNG tanker that caught on fire off the coast of Virginia last winter, I think?
another variable - three sunrises: is that when the timetable starts or when the ugliness itself takes place?
Texas City Disaster
The death toll in 1947 was 600 with 2,000 injuries in a town of 16,000. Think what the toll could be in Houston in 2004. The blasts also caused tidal waves. A large blast could cause a chain reaction (necklace???) which could blow up several sites.
hour glass is almost empty;
hmmm.
And even though it sounds absurd- recall they were talking about flying small planes over our cities and ejecting bombs over the cities? I keep thinking about that tiny plane that buzzed Gettysburg PA for 2 hours one morning---was never found...despite searches in 2 states.
It was in a book I read about Al Qaeda. Several years old.
Didn't they say they wanted the Muslims to be safe in their mosques, praying? The timing is not consistent.
Yeah I would suspect that would be a prime target as well.
"small planes"
I just don't think we have the means to stop small planes from flying into buildings/refineries/chemical plants etc. When you think about it...the terrorists don't have to bring anything with them into this country. Just slip over the border from Mexico into Texas and use the weapons/explosives/planes that are already here.
From a report by the Congressional Research Service on LNG as a terror target.
No LNG tanker or land-based LNG facility has been attacked by terrorists. However, similar natural gas and oil facilities have been favored terror targets internationally. For example, over the past two years, gas and oil pipelines have been attacked in at least half a dozen countries. 54 In June 2002, Moroccan authorities foiled an Al-Qaeda plot to attack U.S. and British warships, and possibly commercial vessels, in the Straits of Gibraltar. 55 LNG tankers from Algeria en route to the United States pass through the same waters. In October 2002, the French oil tanker Limberg was attacked off the Yemeni coast by a bomb-laden boat. 56 In the United States, federal warnings about Al Qaeda threats since September 11, 2001 have repeatedly mentioned energy infrastructure. 57 In June of 2003, for example, U.S. intelligence agencies warned about possible Al Qaeda attacks on energy facilities in Texas.
Or hide the planes in small hangars, barns, storage facilities etc- then fly them very quickly toward the desired city...eject the bomb or whatever. By the time our fighters get there- the deed could well be done. Look at those little planes that flew into Philly and DC airspace...
"Thanks for that post. I definitely see it now. The Osama on the last tape is an imposter."
Not necessarily. Some people have said that obl has put on 40-50 pounds to help alter his appearance.
I suspect that is why we only "spot check" containers that come in on ships. The Feds know that the terrorists will just use what we have here. That don't have to use nukes or dirty bombs to kill alot of people.
OK- I'm being obsessive here:
Where is that new OBL tape????
"That"=They
