Oil and LPG would be a showy boom but nothin beats nukes for lasting effect. Lake Ontairo is known as the Nuclear Lake due to the 13 or so nuclear powerplants built on its shores. Now taking the afore mentioned tanker and running it full steam into oh say the nine mile island facility which happens to have a Chernobyl style reactor (the control rods come up through the bottom) along with two other newer reactors would create truely devestating. If you're tryin to start a holy war, getting us to retailiate with nukes somewhere (it doesn't truely matter, throw a dart at the globe) will supply you with a ready made army. And people wondered why I didn't sleep up there. The problem with whomever is planning these little forays knows how to get and keep attentition at a minimum of start up cost. Whoever is supposed to be watching our collective backside had better get paranoid in a hurry. So our options are to: a) carry on like nothing is going to happen, b) lose sleep, c) do enough drugs that you either won't notice or at least die with a smile on your face. If anyone can think of a d or an e, I for one would lke to hear them.
