Wouldn't the Superbowl with over 100 million expected viewers be just as likely or more likely a target.
The Super bowl is a huge event, but its a bunch of beer drinkin', football lovin' westerners eating hotdogs and havin a damn good time. it might have millions of viewers, but only hundreds of thousands(?) will actually be at the event.
the olympics have the focus of the world. with news crews from all over the globe filming the events. plus there will be a lot of people of "importance" in and around vancouver. as in athletes and rich folk, politicians and a fuckload of cops. on top of that, the people of vancouver and surrounding areas. the olympic village is also in an area with science world, gm place and bc place (also the best punk/metal bar in bc, closed because of olympic bullshit) and they are all close together, also granville island is not far off. there will be a lot of people in this general area.
i would love to see the olympics ruined, but not on this sort of scale, not with any deaths
