61. In World War II a German V2 missile hit a Woolworths store...
... in New Cross, London. 160 people died.

The largest loss of life in a single attack came on December 16, 1944, in Antwerp, Belgium, when the roof of a crowded cinema was struck, leaving 567 dead and 291 injured.

A V2 missile was a little over 45 feet tall, carried 2,200 lbs of explosive, and hit the target at 1,790 mph.

A remote controlled airplane is not going to "blow up" the Pentagon unless it is carrying a nuke.

Sure, he understands calculus, but this "terrorist" is a shining idiot.
