(...) The same. The fact that I am 40 miles from the site of the World Trade Center, and have spent more of the past 36 hours crying than a grown man is "supposed" to, doesn't change the logic one bit. I still hold that under some circumstances (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Not a catch. He's referring to 1906--although, to be honest, that's not much different functionally from mentioning the Chicago Fire. That would definitely be one of those naive points. It's definitely a 1973 production, though. I found more (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.loc.pt, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

It's passed 01:00 AM here in Sweden, and I'd better try to get some sleep.

(...) Surely you realize that San Francisco has had earthquakes before 1989? Also, technically the 1989 quake wasn't centered in San Francisco, but in Loma Prieta, certainly close enough to be felt.

(...) Well, first of all, he doesn't know about European aerospace company Airbus, which produces airliners (and is in fact comparable to Boeing in its output). He dwells on 1950s and 1960s events, and doesn't even mention later events, even when (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.loc.pt, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
