Path train tunnels vulnerable to sabotage? (click on title above for full impact video)
By Toni Yates
(New York - WABC, Dec. 22, 2006) - Engineers say the PATH train tunnels under the Hudson River are vulnerable to serious damage from even a small bomb.
The New York Times says a revised engineering study shows the four tunnels are more fragile than first thought.
The study says it could take only six minutes for a tube to flood after a small bombing. It then goes on to say that the entire system would flood with hours.
The Port Authority responded in saying that the system would shutdown if passengers were in any danger.
Eyewitness News' Toni Yates is in Hoboken with a full report.
About 230,000 people use the PATH system each weekday. The study which was characterized as preliminary and continuing, was based on word done by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy.
Port Authority police recently increased patrols and bad searches in the Path system and a $180 million bill was passed to boost security on the rail line.
Senator Hillary Clinton: "Today's reports about known vulnerabilities within the PATH tunnel system echoes what many of us have been warning about for years: more security is needed to protect our critical transportation infrastructure. It is my hope that Congress will pass significant transportation security legislation next year. I have supported a significant investment in the six Amtrak tunnels as well as other tunnels and infrastructure that are not yet fully secure. I intend to continue that fight into next year by pushing for the enactment of the Transportation Security Improvement Act, a bill that I co-sponsored to authorize several hundred million dollars for necessary security upgrades. We must make smart investments in our transit systems where we know terrorists intend to do us harm."
Commuters riding the PATH trains Friday morning admitted the threat of a terrorist attack is unsettling, but they would continue to ride the train.
I thought Homeland Security would have it's act together after five years of holding our breath !
