With friends like these, who needs enemies?
The draft analysis, obtained by [newspaper], shows that the [train system]'s four tunnels are structurally fragile enough that the damage from a bomb small enough to be carried onto a train could allow 1.2 million gallons of water per minute to gush into a tunnel and flood the system.
About 230,000 people use the [train system] each weekday.
This is the article I referenced in my earlier post. I've actually decided not to post the entire text or the link, because I feel that it should not have been posted in the first place.
Can't you see it now?
News source: News at 11, this city's train system is vulnerable!
Terrorist: Really? Which trains?
News source: The four tunnels of this particular line...
Terrorist: They must be reinforced if they go under water, you can't drive a truck into there...
News source: You'd only need a bomb small enough to be carried onto a train in a medium-sized backpack...
Terrorist: Oh.
News source: Miiiillions of gallons of water...
Terrorist: Oh!
News source: Drowning or stranding 230,000 on a weekday...
Terrorist: Oh!!
Can't be good, right?
