Don't you think New Oleans will now be a prime terroist target.?

Question

would not few well place bombs could flood the city in minutes, not hour nor would it give days warnings as the storm did.

Answer 1

Well, yes, but anywhere could be a prime target for a group with opportunity, planning, and ability. Terrorist are the scariest of types because they are not motivated by money but idealism and revenge. You just have to look at other areas of the globe to see young children used a bomb delivery vehicles - then you must ask yourself, what are these people capable of? I'm not a civil engineer but yes, strategically place explosives in the right place at the right time would be a disaster. Eternal vigilance!

Answer 2

there is not a whole lot left to tear up. They have dams in Calif.
built in the 30's and 40's that are barely standing that would flood the whole SanJoaquin Valley. Millions live there and it is the center of silicone valley. Where most computer networks are located. To blow up those dams would do infinitely more damage than New Orleans or flying a plane into a building.
They need to get devertisified. What is this obcesson with planes. There is so many other things that could hurt the country ten thousand times more and a whole lot easier.
California is the bread basket to the world. They depend on irrigation to survive. Without those dams it would cripple the country. One small hangernade would probably take out hoover dam and with it Los Angeles. Hurt a whole lot more than one tall building.

Answer 3

Be a lot easier to use smaller devices to pop major transmission lines at a set time around the country. Toss the power grid into chaos and panic a LOT more people.

The airlines are LESS of a target because there is more notice being paid to them. New Orleans is so heavy with news and security that no one could organize a strike there without being noticed.

Terrorists are scum, but they aren't stupid enough to attack an obvious target. They will look for something that people AREN'T expecting - they want the fear to be sudden and paralyzing.

Answer 4

the purpose of a terrorist is to instil terror in as many as they can and get as a lot information coverage as is conceivable to promote or carry a reason to a mass of peoples interest. Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary changed into shot and killed even as vacationing on a highway, with guards in huge daylight hours, the idea or target of the action changed into to carry a mass audiences interest to the human beings of yet another u . s . that did not like what he represented, you recognize what, it worked, international conflict One followed that. i imagine the PLO did between the first ones, and it extra international interest to the PLO, it changed into unwell, and it worked, that's the idea. The chilly troublesome reality is that if the television says they'll instruct the human beings ten children being fed or one hundred adults being killed, maximum human beings of human beings ought to actual make time to visual demonstrate unit the only hundred. those are the unhappy data and they recognize it besides as any producer does. Trains derail, oftentimes at a ten% lack of life fee. great crowds were centred, some situations, 15% lack of life fee, counting on some factors. Get a airplane with possible that 250+ human beings will be on it, or in it, is a unwell reality. It takes some quite precise timing and different factors to purpose something, get on a airplane, is pretty a lot a guaranteed the airplane will fill with human beings , is pretty a lot guaranteed the exploding airplane will be shown on a tee-vee station. Is unwell and unhappy, is likewise human nature. They recognize it, all of us recognize it and that is a reality.

Answer 5

It's already been decimated by nature and is mostly still in shambles....why would they try to destroy something that already was a year ago?

Plus, the WTC and Pentagon were chosen to make a point----WTC because it is a financial icon among other reasons, and Pentagon because it is a Mecca for our defense systems. What is there in New Orleans that has significant meaning or impact on the rest of the nation?

Answer 6

The US isnt that dumb to leave a low-defended location undefended. And if the terrorists were to attack the US, the target wouldnt be at the weakest location.

Answer 7

Not really. It's a pretty rural area (in general) and a largely black population. Sadly, affecting a bunch of white people would have more impact.

Answer 8

Yet another reason that no one should live in a coastal city that is below sea level.

Answer 9

No I don't. Not enough people have returned. Terrorist supposedly look for heavy populated areas.

Answer 10

i sincerely do no think so. i think they would go for financial hubs like NY or the like. but don't give them ideas though ;)
