canegirl. Not sure if you read the whole article, look who they blame 9/11 on. That should tell you enough about its reliability.

I have also recieved reports from a totally seperate source from this that the Houston Metro area, and specifically the Texas City chemical complex is being targeted for an attack. I must state that the timing of that "possible" attack was for this week which is almost passed.

:eek: First I've heard of it (the whole "this week" thing), although it's always been a possibility.

I'll see if I can find a couple of spare tin-foil hats to send to Capt. May and Mr. Szymanski. They clearly need them much more than I ever would.

:lol:

BTW, doesn't every major municipality run such drills every now and then? I know Miami has in the past.

Yes Houston has in the past, in fact I know I have heard about it within the last year.

I think that the only option w/r/t a nuclear attack on any of our cities is prevention. There's not much we could do after the fact in my opinion.
