They knew exactly what they were doing, and I'm sure they thought it was hilarious at the time.
What a bunch of gutless twerps. If your going to pull something like that, then stand up and OWN it. Don't insult half the world trying to pretend it was some sort of coincidence. |

It certainly wouldn't have occurred to me without the accompanying text.

I hope they checked with some of our regular posters to make sure it's an accurate depiction of where Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld planted the nanothermite..

If you looked at the picture without the advance text I think you might have had a different opinion.

It is quite obvious what it resembles and if built as such is a slap in the face to the USA.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

Curious that the "Gosh, I don't notice anything" group has no comment on the double-talk coming from the design team:
"it was not our intention to create a an image resembling the attacks, nor did we See the resemblance during the design process." And "I nave to admit that we also thought of the 9/11 attacks."

I don't read Dutch, so I take the comment in the Weekly Standard with a grain of salt.
Notice also that most (maybe all) of the "I didn't notice it" do not live in the US. It is quite possible not front and centre of our minds the way it may be for Americans (and especially New Yorkers). One wonders what the point of doing it deliberately would be. What could a Dutch archtect have to gain by making a "cloud" that resembled the NY Twin Towers in Korea? Anyone able to read the Dutch article? John
