I've been across the Big Mac a couple of times, it's so massive a large jetliner would have to be crashed into it to cause appreciable damage. There's a tourist trap at one of its approach bases. A car bomb would kill the occupants of a few vehicles (bad for them) but not damage the structure. This thing inspires awe.

As far as economic disruption, what's in the Upper Peninsula to disrupt? The roads are lined with unoccupied and abandoned houses falling off their foundations. The yuppie vacationers could just as well head to Kentucky. The Soo Locks are a military operation, nobody will cause trouble there.

I call bunk on this one.

If a couple of hundred suicide bombers would be in the midst of the thousands of walkers due to cross over it on September 4, the body count could be higher than it was on 9/11. The Muslim fanatics have a death wish anyway. What better way to go out of this life to their 72 virgins than to murder 10,000 Americans crossing this bridge?

Another thread said that 65,000 people walk across the Mac Bridge on Labor Day.
