Man I don't think Andrew is a good comparison to Katrina (I lived there too but I evacuated - but the reason I live in Orlando now). By comparison, the FL state and city emergency response was rapid. No disaster is going to be rainbows and kittens no matter how well you are prepared and it takes time for any government to reassert control over chaos and destruction that wide-spread. There's a ratio of hundreds to thousands of civilians to any one N.G. member. But knowing that is why I evacuated. At least the police remained on duty and the FL N.G. units were activated and working before landfall even occurred (and even during the storm). Federal assistance was even requested immediately following the storm unlike with Katrina.

By the way, I don't think anyone wants the U.S. Army (even under the N.G. label) engaging with and destroying Americans during a natural disaster - looters or not - except in cases of self-defense (idiots were shooting at N.G. during Andrew as well as Katrina which made their job even more difficult). And those were the 'rules of engagement' they were given and had to follow. Using force against looters and arresting people is primarily the job of law enforcement and should remain so for civil reasons. So I don't blame the N.G. for the looting.

Completely agree with your last paragraph though.

Lol I dont get my info from conspiracy people. But I do know facts, facts of science, facts of math. . ect. And you know what it adds up to? I do. btw its impossible for 2 planes to take down the towers.. If you think its possible. . than that just puts you into the 85% of the American gullible group. Thats where they want us lol. The very building designers themselves said that they designed the buildings to take MULTIPLE plane hits, and they would not have crumbled all the way to the ground. . . I have more proof if you wanna mail me. Hit me up.

All of those people were given the opportunity to evacuate before the storm. The majority of those "victims" were self-imposed ... they chose to stay. Yes, there was a lot of mismanagement and mistakes made on the part of FEMA ... I'll not say there wasn't. However, "intentionally leaving people stranded" who chose to strand themselves may not be the correct argument.

Its not impossible for a completely fueled 747 to take down a tower. And I think claiming you can design a building to take the impact of up to 487 TONS propelled at over 500 mph without it being a completely solid structure is a bit hopeful if you claim it for MULTIPLE crashes. Can you not imagine the damage such an impact could do to ANYTHING? Let alone tossing a ton of highly flammable liquid fuel on top of it ... seriously.

If you want to talk conspiracy, I find it far more credible to look at evidence you may have that the threat of attack was ignored by the powers-that-be. But for the above, I think you're too confident in the abilities of architects ... I mean, its not like they have a lot of hard data gathered from "jumbo jet crashes into buildings" that they can use to design said buildings.
