I just got one of those God on Film maps yesterday! I used a black permanent marker to cover over the advertising.

I just added Daylight to my netflix queue in order to prepare myself for the eventual need to escape from a submerged tunnel.

If the scientologists in the subway are the people offering "stress tests" at the Times Square station, I saw them a week ago. SO they're still around. Unfortunately.

the NRW doesn't go underwater at all! That 5489' "tunnel" is the 59th street bridge!!! Good job NYT. Sorry, it is a tunnel: The 60th Street Tunnel. NRW trains do not go over the 59th St Bridge.

If you look at the chart prepared by the Times, linked above, you'll notice that, of the four tunnels under the East River between Queens and Manhattan, one of them is somehow 2000 feet longer than the other three. I pondered this for a minute before thinking to myself, the NRW doesn't go underwater at all! That 5489' "tunnel" is the 59th street bridge!!! Good job NYT. (Perhaps they meant instead to mention that the LIRR tunnel at 34th St is also an MTA tunnel...)

They do have a point. There are dozens of subway tunnels going from Manhattan to the outer areas. Not just that, there’s the LIRR AMTRACK + NJ Transit Tunnels they have to worry about. But do terrorists have the engineering know how to bring down a Subway Tunnel? They tend to be qasi-fuckups sometimes. ---- The best way to deal with Scientologists is to put Rat Poison on various scientology pamphlets and place them in highly congested parts of the subway. Since none of the regular commuters will pick them up, hopefully a scientologist will walk by and pick up the bait.
