Terrorism Strikes the United States

[BlueDragon]

It has been reported that Kabul, Afganastan is being attacked with cruise missles and possibly long range bombers.

 

It turns my stomach to see people in the middle east celebrating these attacks. Their entire country should be wiped off the face of the earth. They should all burn in hell.

i can't belive the WORLD TRADE CENTERS ARE GONE.......how can they be built to crumble like that.

 

WE AS AMERICANS MUST UNITE AS ONE TO RECOVER FROM THIS MASSIVE TRAGEDY.

 

for those of you not from the united states; THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN AND SUPPORT.

The World Trade Centres collapsed because the heat from the explosion (said to have been 150 degrees C) was hot enough to soften the metal structures of the Centres, thereby making them not strong enough to support the buildings.

 

It would be impossible to make such structures capable of withstanding such an explosion.
