An ABC News "Nightline" report on the February 1993 attack on the World Trade Center...Part 3 of 3...then, an NBC News Special on the attack. Part 1 of 2.
@619wwefanation It is true that the terrorists only need to be successful once whereas the security services have to be eternally vigilant! however I've heard that multiple threats against American targets and some even against the WTC explicitly were either ignored of not taken seriously enough! they knew as early as the 90's that terrorists were planning to use passenger airplanes as guided missiles they foiled a plan to fly a plane into the Eiffel tower!
Shame they didn't do more to address the vulnerabilities in the security at the WTC and American airspace as a whole! too many warnings were not heeded! the towers should still be standing! people should be held criminally responsible for the incompetence that lead to their destruction.
