Terrorists want to give the US a lesson, 8 December 1999
8/10
Author: Wayne A. Arthurton (wayner) from New York, NY

This movie was very cool. It was a let's shock everybody by actually showing terrorism happen that we can't stop. The only other movie to come close to showing what domestic terrorism would do to the use is The Siege. In fact there are some very surprising similarities. I would love to see this again. I can't wait to find the video I made oh so long again.
