Hijacker/airborne attack prevention system

Abstract

The present invention comprises an airborne attack prevention system utilizing a plurality of high strength cables attached to one or more buildings so as to shield the buildings from collisions from aircraft and the like.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An airborne attack prevention system comprising: 
 a plurality of high strength cables; and    means for attaching at least one of the plurality of high strength cables between two or more buildings.    
     
     
         2 . An airborne attack prevention system comprising: 
 a plurality of high strength cables attached to a top region of a building;    a plurality of support beams protruding from at least one side of a building; and    securing at least one of the plurality of high strength cables to at least one of the plurality of support beams.    
     
     
         3 . The airborne attack prevention system according to  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of support beam comprises: 
 at least one upper support beam secured along a top region of a building;    at least one lower support beam protruding from at least one side of a building; and    at least one high strength cable securely attached to and extending between each pair of upper and lower support beams.    
     
     
         4 . The invention according to  claim 3 , wherein the airborne attack prevention system further comprises: 
 a rod like structure attached to each of the upper support beams;    a subsequent lower support beam protruding from the side of a building, wherein the subsequent lower support beam is not attached to at least one upper support beam; and    a subsequent high strength cable attached to at least a portion of said rod like structure at a position corresponding to said subsequent lower support beams.    
     
     
         5 . The invention according to  claim 4 , wherein the rod like structure is of either polygonal or circular shape.  
     
     
         6 . The invention according to  claim 3 , wherein the airborne attack prevention system further comprising: 
 a pulley attached to at least one of the upper support beams;    a high strength cable retractably associated with the pulley; and    at least one track, associated with the plurality of lower support beams, laid vertically along the building upon which the associated lower support beam can slide up and down to effectuate an open and closed position.    
     
     
         7 . An airborne attack prevention system comprising: 
 a plurality of columns erected around at least one building; and    a plurality of cables, extended horizontally, at various heights, attached to at least a portion of each of said plurality of columns.    
     
     
         8 . An airborne attack prevention system comprising: 
 at least one column erected within a plurality of buildings; and    a plurality of high strength cables attached to the at least one column, wherein each of said plurality of high strength cables are attached to at least one of said plurality of buildings.
