1993 World Trade Centre bombing
In a recent show in the UK documenting the development of Car bombs as a terrorist weapon the WTC bombing of 1993 was detailed as one of the examples and in a interview with one of the Senior investigative agents it was revealed that one of the plans Ramzi Yousef had come up with was to place explosives in such a way that the tower would collapse sideways and crash into the other tower causing that to collapse and causing a lot of city blocks to get destroyed in the process.
So what if when the bomb detonates the tower collapses to one side as intended and knocks down the other tower basically levelling many city blocks in the process as both towers fall on their sides? Of course there would be massive casualties and both towers would be down. However what difference would this make? Would we see a 9/11 like reaction? Or was it the image of Airlines crashing into buildings such a horrified image that caused such a military reaction?
