11 years ago. If we're operating on decade+ old info, that's pretty damning.

Is there a "reckless endangerment" or "manslaughter" equivalent in the war-crimes sphere?

Is it me or is it reckless to leave a school in part of an old military complex ? That seems negligent to me, for this exact reason.

Maybe it was intentional too ?

  • Under that logic, is the entire Barracks Row strip in DC fair game? It's across the street from a historic Marine Corp barracks, why would anybody put shops and restaurants there, right?

    Maybe if the schools was built recently there'd be a case. That's not the case, its as converted a full decade ago. We just didn't bother updating our maps and intel before launching missiles.

    • In my opinion, a more responsible government would probably not continue to using an abandon military base as a school for this reason. I'm sure the thought had crossed someone's mind that something like this might happen.

      I'm not trying to make excuses for the USA here, it's an abhorrent thing and I do agree, much more care should've been taken.

      No one is suggesting other kids schools are "fair game" so just calm down a bit?
