This really is terribly alarmist. The layout of our downtown, with the
tallest buildings in the middle makes it terribly difficult for such an
attack to be carried out on any of the three tall buildings. The
proverbial barn door has been closed. Given new rules it is virtually
impossible for someone to repeat the WTC attacks.
