Thanks CIA

You can slide down from the 70th to the 69th floor on the outside of the biggest building in Los Angeles  (please excuse the possible commercial):



After the 911 attack of 2001, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had planned a "second wave" attack with this building as the intended target. He revealed under interrogation that he had planned "in late 2001 to . .  crash a hijacked airliner into the tallest building on the US West Coast.” Arrests were made and the plan failed.

So thank you, CIA, for the building that still stands, for the value that was not destroyed, and for the lives of people who didn't die in the building and on the ground where it would have fallen.
