The Explosives: How Bad Is It?
What You Can Do With 380 Tons of Explosives
Ok, I was curious as to what the 'wolves' could do with 380 tons of high explosives, so here's what I looked up. Remember to downing of the Pan-Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland back in the late 80s? That was accomplished with less than one pound of high explosives. So, rounding that up to 1 lbs and dividing that into 380 tons (380 Tons X 2000lbs/ton X 16 oz/lbs) gives us the grand total of 47,500 Pan-Am downings.
The only person who I've hear talk about this issue today was Henry Kissenger, who stated that the problem was 1) Turkey would let us invade from the north and 2) NOT ENOUGH TROOPS in Iraq from the get go.
Do you feel safer now?
