Now I am scared to go to work in Manhattan.
Guam is 209 square miles and has a population of 180,000.
Manhattan is 33 square miles and has a population of over 1.6 million, not including the hundreds of thousands of commuters and tourists who are there every day.
If Guam is at risk for tipping over and capsizing, how much greater is the peril in NYC? I better start wearing my life vest to work.

Don’t let word of that leak out... Al Qaeda could send thousands of operatives to one side of Manhattan and just flip the whole thing in one fell swoop. Let’s not give the enemy ideas...

Oddly enough, the destruction of the World Trade Center SAVED NYC, which was in imminent peril of flipping over and trapping millions under water...

Silly Goose!
The great foresight exercised by the city planners anchored the Island of Manhattan to the mainland by an intricate series of bridges. Besides, everyone knows that the Hudson River isn't nearly as deep as the Pacific Ocean, so when it does start to capsize the edges would hit the bottom long before it could turn all the way over!
Learn some science before you go and panic - sheesh!
