C'punks,
Friend of mine sent me this. I like the poetic justice of it.
Terminal velocity of dust is pretty low.
Reports are that the bulk of the WTC debris are same. There are structural components from the base of the towers, and debris from neigboring buildings, which are more substantial.
All that dust might give 'em silicosis.
From the news footage it looks to me like Afghanistan is made of dust and rubble - why waste all that fuel? Just bury them in their own wreckage.
Frankly, a modicum of HE attached to a guided device is more effective ordinance.
There's a poetic sense to this, but not much military practicality.
Humor - it lightens the mood, makes the days go by quickly. Mike
