I'd be more concerned about california around the year 2012. They are due for a massive earthquake.

I am not aware of such writings, but this is a personal decision for each person who chooses to stay in ANY metro area. It just stands to reason, however, that our major cities with the high-value targets will almost certainly again be targeted. This is how terrorists gain strength...they make a big "splash" for the greatest publicity with the least investment. That is much more likely to occur in such places as New York City.

As a New Yorker I can only ask is it rational to live and work any where else? Califronia: Earthquakes and a Governor who talk funny Texas: The death penalty for speeding Florida: Hurricanes and the inability to count Iraq: If your neighbors don't kill you, your family will Iran: See above Minnesota: So much snow and an ex-governor who talks funny England: Bad Teeth, Bad Weather, bad Food Maryland: My son's mother. Colordao: School shotings and the most indept police force ever (hey guys Jon bennets mother did it...geez) China: No Freedom, too many people Seriously I could go on and on but the real answer was given more then 50 years ago by FDR "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" So if you are a New Yorker, man up and deal with it. I rather have New York be the target then some poor city that can't take it. We're tough around here 9-11 showed that. Knock us down and we will get right back up and spit in your eye

My opinion =NO. If they set explosives in the right places it may cause a domino affect and what better place in New York to make a big splash.

I'm from Canada and I agree with "Thomas G." 100%. If another strike does take place, it will probably be in a little hick town out west, just to throw everyone off.

I'm not American but I live in NYC and I feel that It's one of the safest places in the world
