Those are the kinds of "improvements" that ensure that, when it comes to technology, I'm extremely conservative. I don't trust change, and I don't trust "experts".

Quite how anyone could imagine a huge aeroplane crashing into a building, and discount the possibility of it having a load of fuel to burn up, is a bit hard to understand. And once you imagine that, you know that "a handful of beams" are not going to be sufficient.

There were reports that the extent of the damage completely astonished people in the terrorist network. They'd probably seen that photo from 1945.

I wonder how many other "improvements" like that are waiting to surprise us all?
