Soooo...he takes their money now for a service promised to be performed in the future, and if he doesn’t deliver...the customers will be too dead to do anything about it.
Nice racket.

There’s a sucker born every minute - contractual obligations don’t mean squat in a doomsday scenario.

A boat won't do you any good. In Land of the Dead, the Democrats waded into the water and walked on the river bed to get to the city.
The Undead will walk on the ocean floor until they see a boat, then you're what's for dinner.

It takes hours to days for those items to be put into effect. I remember a beautiful, clear, Tuesday morning a few years ago......

Rich people who worry about this are already pursuing the Warren Buffett strategy. It’s not nearly as hard as it used to be to oversee your business interests from Omaha, Nebraska - or even rural Wyoming.

OK, how long did it take for the government to shut down the piers in NYC after 9/11?
It took hours to give the order to shut down air traffic, and that was a simple order from the president.

What they need to do is buy a stool. Stand on it. And kiss their asses goodbye.

If the majority of NYC rich people voted for Hillary, who cares if they escape disaster?

Your timeline is a bit off
8:45 1WTC hit
9:03 2WTC hit
9:17 All NYC area airports closed
9:21 All NYC area bridges and tunnels closed to vehicular traffic
9:40 The FAA halts all flight operations at U.S. airports

You are correct on the FAA, as I was only using decades old personal recollection from radio and tv reports.
So, when did they close the piers?

Nowheres near the number of piers in Manhattan as there once were. Closing the piers would have been a waste of resources. You don't have to close the piers when you control the waterways.

Hell,the Midtown Tunnel to Long island sounds like a good option!

OK, but it still takes resources. And you are going to stop outgoing boat traffic for what reason?
It could happen, but stopping people from *leaving* a disaster, in perfectly good private transportation? Why?
Sure, could happen, but seems unlikely.
I do not recall any shut down of boats leaving New Orleans when the Hurricane hit, for example.
New York is a different culture. I would expect people with boats there to be well heeled.

If the PTB wanted to, they could very easily. West 79 st. Marina, East 23 st. marina and Battery Park marina are it.
You said they couldn’t shut the city down for hours or days. I’ve proven they can very quickly.
Look FRiend, I’ll listen to you when it comes to guns and gun laws, but Fun City just ain’t your bag.
