While he agrees the CN Tower would be a spectacular target for another hijacked aircraft, Quinn said a plane hitting the reinforced concrete shaft "would be like throwing a piece of butter against a brick wall."

Quinn echoed Thompson's concerns about parcel and truck bombs. He said overall ground security at all Toronto commercial buildings needs improving.
