Remember too that history very nearly “returned” in February 1993, when the partially-successful bombing of the World Trade Center occurred. Had the bomb been placed in a slightly different position at least one of the towers would have collapsed on that day, resulting in what would probably have been a far higher number of casualties (the bombing occurred around noon on a Friday). It is an interesting counter-factual scenario to imagine how the Clinton of 1993 would have responded to this catastrophe. |
