what killed people was the damage to the buildings not the planes themselves, if the twin towers had been a chemical plant (especially one making something like phosgene, mustard gas or chlorine gas) in the middle of NY, the death toll would have made 9/11 look like a wet fart

The chemical plant cannot be a WMD.

Places cannot be WMD. This is inherent in the word weapon a weapon is not a place. The w in WMD makes it not a place

hey, I was arguing with the logic of planes are a WMD because 9/11, pointing out that if plans would be a WMD because the WTC towers collapsing killing a lot of people, a chemical plant would be way worse.

but in effect a plane is not much different from the larger cruise missiles
