Where are the rumors of 4/19/04 Sears Tower coming from?

[coloradodem2005]

I am seeing this all over the underground. I sincerely hope that this does not happen.

Is it because there were a couple of other incidents that happened on 4/19? Branch Dividian, Okla. City. What about Columbine on 4/20? Is this supposed to be part of a pattern? Is anybody in touch with the rumor mill? What is happening?

2. I think it started in this thread:

3. That was one of the made up stories by a US today reporter. Had

male students at one of these religious schools bragging about taking out the Sears Tower. He held up a picture of it and said this one is mine. Also had these students bragging that they were going to kill American children. Turns out this was a false story. This story came from that USA Today reporter who got in trouble about false stories.

4. Interesting. People made it sound potentially serious.

5. i've heard

the sears towers mentioned before, also about how the windows in the WTC were replaced with glass that could withstand a plane hitting them 2 weeks before 911. I think i saw it on cnbc but i'm not sure.

7. ???

"the windows in the WTC were replaced with glass that could withstand a plane hitting them"

Ah......really?

[DoYouEverWonder]

8. You would think someone would notice

them replacing the whole building? That's a lot of glass.

BTW: Where the heck can you buy glass that can withstand a plane crash? I'd like to get some for my house, you never know?

13. Gimme some of that glass.

I'll be the one making all the money on all armored vehicle sales. It will make great tank armor. ;-)

10. Windows replaced at least on the 22nd floor

..command center.


"The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday.

Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.

"Today was the first day there was not the extra security," Coard said. "We were protecting below. We had the ground covered. We didn't figure they would do it with planes. There is no way anyone could have stopped that."

Security guard Hermina Jones said officials had recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks by installing bulletproof windows and fireproof doors in the 22nd-floor computer command center."

6. I thought of this a couple of weeks ago. So apparently did

others. The World Trade Center had the same owner until about 7 weeks before 9-11. First thing you look at when a building burns down is the insurance and the length of time since it was bought. Now if this were a movie, the owner did it.

Well, seems that same company bought the Sears Tower a couple of weeks ago. Nicely positioned for the election. I believe that if anything happens to the Sears Tower, someone should look at the new owner in jail. I wonder who has the security contract for the new owner? Wonder if there are any Bushes involved like the World Trade Center.

9. Don't forget 4/19

4/19/93 - Waco

4/19/95 - Oklahoma City

Put together with the above purchase, put in blender, mix well.

(Also, we've been being warned and the neocons do need a major distraction, time for rolls of tin-foil again).
