I bet it was spectacular. I wonder if it made much of a wave. Probably not at all. This end of the glacier is already floating in the water. The crack slowly grew larger over months as the support from the water was essentially the same on both sides of the crack.

It could be the perfect source of water for cities in the desert. No? If you ever taste melted glacier, you would understand, NO!
Think of thousands of years collecting dust, bird poop, etc trapped in that ice, compressed down.
On glacier tours in Alaska, they scoop up some floating in Prince William Sound, wash it off with fresh water, put it on a platter with an ice pick. They invite to to chop some off to taste.
I could barely swallow with it in my mouth. If you are old enough to remember Alum being used for medicinal purposes, you know what it tasted like.

Should I be scared? What do the talking heads on The Weather Channel say? Is Jim Cantore there to report?

No, but there are some well fed sharks swimming around the area.

On my last trip to Alaska, the ship cruised close to the Mendelssohn (may be spelled wrong) glacier, It calfs all the time...you can hear the cracking of the ice and then have to scan the 6 mile face to see the fall of the ice. We were told the natives called the glacier “white thunder” because that is what it sounds like before calfing...Goes on constantly, most of the time you didn't see the ice break off until you saw it hit the water, not much of a wave but it surely is quite loud, Don't know about the size of Chicago, but huge pieces keep breaking off as the glacier moves. My daughter got some good pictures of the calfing, the ship spent about 1/2 hour just going very slow pass the glacier so everyone could ooh and ahhh watching.
