In The United States:

1. At 9:02 a.m. on April 19,1995, a truck in Oklahoma city exploded in the street in front of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building. About 90 minutes later McVeigh was stopped by an Oklahoma state trooper for driving a vehicle without a license plate, who then arrested him on a fire arms charge.He killed 168 people, and injured 800.

2.9/11 of 2001 was when the terrorist attack was. Specifically was a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the U.S. The attack was made in New York City. This attack was a major tragedy for the U.S. 2,999 people died during the attacks. 6,291 + people were injured, and 24 are missing and presumed dead.

3.Some analysts believe (and have right) that if the terrorists wanted as many victims as possible, then, they would hit the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center at 11 A.M or 12 P.M when the Towers would be full of People. Given the terrorists organization, they could hijack any airplane they wanted in Boston Airport or else, at their time selection since every two minutes there is one take-off in each airport. Moreover, the terrorists gave Valuable Time to U.S Authorities to predict their next target after the WTC and U.S Pentagon, so the fourth airplane (Flight 93) was crashed before it crashes on its target. Officially, the Passengers within the plane caused the prompt crash but some people suggest that the plane was shot down in such a manner so that the result to be crash on the ground, not explosion in the air. Certainly the terrorists had the ability to delay their hits on the WTC by telling to U.S Authorities a story about an "exchange", as occurs in other hijacks around the World. The U.S Authorities would not proceed to shoot down any airplane because they did not know that the pilots were ready to die, so the Authorities' Minds would be focused on how to save the Passengers within the hijacked planes. In this way, the terrorists would synchronize their hits with punctuality of some minutes – and not a hour as occurred – so any authorities in the World could not predict or prevent such a tragedy; especially if there were more hijacked planes with crash targets on nuclear power plants or chemical factories. Besides, the United States had signed an International Agreement (before the attacks) not to use military power against any civil airplane, so a decision to shoot down an airplane without a logic reason would be very hard.

7. Mad cow disease is a fatal disease that inflicts adult cattle. A weird type of protein called prion carries the disease. The prion masses together in the brain, spinal cord, nervous system, and the eye (retina). They form dense plaque fibers and that leads to the appearance of microscopic holes in the infected tissue. People have memory loss, emotional instability, weakness, an unsteadiness to their gait, depression, and eventual inability to stand. People get mad cow disease from eating cow meat with prion in it.
