Why was the WTC targeted?

[Dew k. Mosi]

It's weird that this thread came up now, because I just rewatched the kickass spiderman trailer where he caught the bank robbers in the giant web between the towers.

 

[Addendum]

Were any credit card companies headquarters in the Trade Center?

 

[AllThingsComic]

I honestly don't think Jewish people had anything to do with the World Trade Center. It is the WORLD TRADE center in the heart of the WORLD FINANCIAL center. In my opinion it was an attempt to disrupt and hopefully ruin the economy of America, also they were hoping to topple the buildings and have them fall sideways not straight down and create more deaths and financial burden.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Well, FEMA thought it would be a good target back in '99.

I have now figured out why we cannot find Osama binladen.....he is tyler durdens third personality.

But that's after it was attacked in 1993. It was obvious.

and yet, not obvious enough to be protected from another attack.

Forcefield. Or better yet, a lazer like Freedom Tower will have.

There are two ways of becoming the richest or most powerful country in the world.

You could find out how to make your economy more prosperous than anywhere else in the world or, failing that, try to destroy other economies so that yours becomes the richest and most powerful by default.

Since most economies throughout the Islamic world haven't really moved towards modernization much beyond what they were a thousand years ago, they've decided to take option #2.

That sounds like a plot from Superman Returns.
