The idea that someone would actually fly two commercial airliners into downtown manhattan to take out the World Trade Center was also pretty unlikely, circa 2000 and 2001.
- persolb 3y agoI think the last 23 years has shown that, luckily, those people are mostly idiots. I suspect many people in HN could whip up mass violence with drones if they wanted to. Luckily the people who can generally have better things to do.
