Terror Math
For all those who would downplay this finding, I offer the following lesson in “terror math”:
It takes 1 drop (1 mg) of sarin to kill an average person.
The artillery shell that was found contained 3 to 4 liters of sarin.
1 milligram (mg) equals 1 microliter (1/1000000 of a liter).
3-4 liters equates to 3-4 million drops, enough sarin to kill 3-4 million people.
Obviously, it would be impossible to distribute 3-4 million drops of sarin in an effective enough manner to kill millions of people. But consider this:
The artillery shell that was found contained enough sarin that it could be divided up into 1000 300mg doses.
Each 300mg dose could kill 3000 Americans, the number that died on 9/11.
From that single artillery shell, 1000 "new 9/11s” could be attempted.
Many, if not most, would likely fail. But how many would succeed? How many American deaths lay waiting in that one “WMD?” One shell, 1000 “9/11s”. Now ask yourself how many more deaths are waiting in shells that were “overlooked” or “misplaced?”
Everyone get the picture now?
