I give it an 8 out of 10

An 8 for what is the most spectacular terrorist attack in history?
A handful of sand monkies managed to do damn near single handedly destroy the American airline industry, instead of gently sliding into a recession, it catapulted us into one. The absolute spit in the face factor and kick in the nuts to national pride makes this a 10. It was absolutely amazing. Not too mention the loss of life and property damage.
The full repercussions have not been felt from this.
