advocatexxx 0 Posted April 25, 2002 I've just watched live chopper pictures, they said nothing about the building collapsing. It's a technical school, the explosion apparently went off on the 2nd floor. It's not some chemical school so the possibility of it being an accident explosion is smaller. It's some automotive tech school where they teach mechanics and such. Maybe they were working on a 27,000 horsepower top fuel dragster engine that got a little out of the way ?

Tydium 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Reuters article here "There was no official number of injuries, but the fire department unofficially counted six people going to hospitals.

Unfortunatey was the sterring wheel of the Turbo-dragster locked and so the thing took a power start right through a wall and many others, spinning in a circle, kicking wall after wall, devastating classroom after classroom and then up the stairs, through the window and right into the next building which was the Viagra-development centre.

advocatexxx 0 Posted April 25, 2002 Damn ! I was hoping it was terrorists. That way the Bush administration would accelerate their plans on attacking Iraq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceFire 0 Posted April 25, 2002 No, it probably wouln't be Iraq, probably another Al-Quada attack if it was an attack. And a direct assualt on Iraq would be useless without the support of the other Arab nations. Iraq is soo well gaurded that alot of our troops would be killed. If the other Arab nations didn't support us, we would have no where to stage the assault from. Oh well. We'll see what comes up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted April 25, 2002 BTW. terorists. In germany ("fuck you and your Germany ,Albert! it has now become public that around one month after the sept.11th a helicopter was flying at an altitude of around 50m above one of our nuclear power plants, circling and observing. Noone is allowed in this area and the helicopter has not yet been identified. Not even the military-jets could find it. But it is proven that it was there! They now assume that it has something to do with the terorist organisation Al Tawhid, of which they just caught 5 members! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted April 25, 2002 Okay, wasnt the great desaster, so CNN stocks wont rise today! But to give you the satisfaction today that you need, here a few pictures of terorists that were caught and now are basically "fucked"! In the future they wont plan how to blow up towers anymore but how to get their tiny cell cleaned in 10 minutes in a dark prision on the outskirts of Berlin and of how not to get raped by the Hells Angels prisoner in the next cell! Nice security measures there! One of the bastards started in court holding a long 5 minute speech about allah! Unfortunately he never learned to speak german so noone understood him. And he accused his lawyer to be a jew and he said his only defender would be allah! Sure!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and not to forget car-jacking. Our neighbours got all his 3 cars stolen because a russian gang broke into his house and forced him to open the garage and give them the keys. They already stole many cars here but still didnt get caught! Oh, and the sig is a message: It sais, war against teror and then it sais "the german way" (swiss and german), that is my message!
