Quote by: Nono Anyway, there was an attack -- on 911. Shame.

And 2/26/1993. In the parking garage of the WTC.

1993 World Trade Center bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The bomb exploded in the underground garage at 12:17 pm, generating a pressure estimated over one GPa and opening a 30-meter-wide (98 foot) hole through four sublevels of concrete. The detonation velocity of this bomb was about 15,000 ft/s (4.5 km/s). Contrary to popular belief there was no cyanide gas attached to the bomb, although Yousef had considered adding cyanide to the bomb, and is said to have regretted not doing so in Peter Lance's book 1000 Years For Revenge.

Six people were killed and 1,040 others were injured, most during the evacuation that followed the blast. The towers were not destroyed as Yousef intended. However, without the WTC’s poured concrete foundations, they would have succeeded; the tower would have toppled.[7] Yousef escaped to Pakistan several hours later.
