Innocent shooting

[manker]

The target was infrastructure and people. The tubes were bombed when it was busy not just before rush hour.

People were not just stopped from going to work, some of them were stopped cold.

This makes more sense to me. The same was true with what happened in NY September 11th. Yes, lots of lives were lost, but it could have been much more worse if those buildings had been hit later in the afternoon. instead of over 3,000, it could have been more than 30,000

You think the terrorists tried to temper 911

They co-ordinated 4 passenger planes to hit specific targets. It must have been a logistic nightmare, I doubt they decided to do it in the morning because it would cause less loss of life - if that was a consideration, they'd have done it in the dead of night.

No, the timing of the attack was a by-product of wanting to cause maximum disruption and loss of lives while bearing in mind the constraints placed upon them by other factors such as military response, airport security, plane time-tables, amount of fuel on each aircraft.

They couldn't have just decided to do it at a certain time. To a large extent, that had to fit in around the other variables.

I didn't say they tried to curve it down, I merely said it could have been worse. I doubt any of the other factors you have mentioned would have been any different later in the day, especially the amount of fuel, since so many flights leave the east coast for the west coast

So it was just a casual remark. It looked like you were saying that the terrorists deliberately spared thousands of lives on 911.

I don't see how that correlates to the thread because the London bombings happened in rush hour, it couldn't have been busier.

I wasn't commenting on the whole thread, merely stated that what Busyman said made more sense to me. What was the target in London ? People, or Transit ? If their sole reasoning was to kill people, they could have chosen a different target.

Right. So my first post that you refuted was correct - you are saying that the 911 terrorists deliberately spared thousands of civillian lives.

Either you like to start shit, or there is something wrong with your eyes

Fuck off.


You said about the London bombings:

Is it unreasonable for me to assume from your initial post that you meant if the 911 bombers' sole reasoning to kill people, they could have chosen a different time.

You also went on to say that there was no reason that they couldn't have done it later in the day - again, I reasonably assumed that you meant that they chose to do it earlier so as to spare civillian lives.

Now, I'm trying to ascertain if, indeed, you did mean just that.

Fuck off yourself.

In regards to what I posted, I have no idea why the terrorists that attacked NY and Washington DC chose the time they did, but their attack was not only against civiallians, but against our financial center. While I would maintain that a terrorists ways of thinking, trying to terrorize people so they can have their way is totally stupid, the planning behind such an event is hardly such, and there is no way you'll make me beleive they didn't know that atleast 100,000 people worked in the Twin Towers alone.
Do I think they meant to spare people ? no fucking way. However there was more to their agenda.

Military Response ? are you joking ?? You think the time of day would effect that ? I just was in Washington DC July 4th weekend, Flights are around the clock at Andrews Air Force Base, as they are in most bases.

Airport security ? There was very little security until after 911

plane time table and fuel.... As I said there are many flights from the East Coast to the West Coast, and they all would have been loaded with fuel, which is precisely why they chose those flights. So while I have no answer to why they chose their time table, neither do you. I do know if I only wanted to kill people alone, without any other factor, you had better keep an eye on your water supply.
