That's how to get it across on a visceral level. 760,000 Lockerbies.

1. in fact, *one* pound of that stuff

Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 08:37 AM by billyoc

is enough to bring down an airliner, so it would be more like 760,000 lockerbies. :(

On edit: Are there even that many planes?

4. CNN reported this morning that 1lb of this took down Lockerbee plane.

That's "a lot" more than 380.
