How many blocks?Where is it going to be when you shoot it down (especially as you said early when you "know" what the plans are)? You also have to evacuate the buildings in the area since debris will fall over a fairly wide area, especially if you shoot it down. Where do you evacuate them too and how do you get them there. And you call us dummies. -- I get off on '57 Chevys I get off on screamin' guitars --Eric Clapton
