Author Topic: 9 Years Ago Veers You first Member # 661 posted                    In case you didn't know, today is the 9th anniversary of the first (really the only) World Trade Center bombing. A bomb exploded in the parking garage of the WTC at 12:15 on Friday, February 26, 1993. 6 people were killed and huindreds injured. -------------------- Meh Registered: Jul 2001  |  IP: Logged Lee I'm a spy now. Spies are cool. Member # 393 posted                       Completely unrelated, I know, but I just finished reading Alex Garland's The Beach. The climactic events of that novel happened to take place on the September 11th (years unspecificed but vaguelt mid-90's).
