NYC subway has a vulnerability. Some of the tubes run close to the underground water tunnels that bring in fresh water from upstate NY. Worst scenario is a subway train exploding near this water line, crack it and cause flooding in the entire subway system. If the NY subway system is knocked out by three foot of water (which takes out the signal sensors on the tracks) for several months, the economic toll on NYC will be immense. Most of the workers in the financial center and other businesses rely on the subway to commute into the city. If the workers cannot get to their jobs, most financial activities come to a halt.

That almost happened when the WTC was hit. The water wall was and still is being monitored.
I don't think that line is open yet.
not to mention the lack of fresh water for say, what - 10 million folks in the middle of summer!

So glad that you told them every thing you know, if this happens, it is all on your head!!!!! However I am sure that "they" probably know this too. Just remember "Loose Lips sink Ships" That was well known during World War II, too bad that the idiots that populate America today don't have a clue! Yea, get the news out! When we get hit again, most will understand! Loose lips sink America!
Just like they they *nearly* cracked the Picadilly tunnel last Thursday! Anyone who thinks the only objective was carnage and psychological impact ought to think again!
