Bridgeort is 60 miles from Columbus Circle. The number of NYC commuters affected by this incident is miniscule. What is troubling is that both the I 95 and Goethals Bridge are major truck routes and bottlenecks. Anyone with a sense of economic warfare knows the value of chokepoints (think Gibralta, The Dardanelles, and a map of Malaysia and Indonesia.)
In assymetric warfare punishment on the offending siciety need not be measured in 1,000s of dead. It can be measured in the consequences of multiple attacks on the infrastructure which create chaos in the economy.If a simple jr hi history teacher like me can see that, I'msure our enemies have thought of it. Hopefully our people have as well.

how about some dirty bombs to pop the real estate bubble....even a small amount with trace radiological readings would spook people....or a very large one.
if they have thought out effects of attacks on elections, there is no reason to believe they haven't thought of attack to affect the infrastructure and the economy.
