How safe are the ferry companies which service NY/NJ along the Hudson & East Rivers?
For all you locals & those of you abroad, too: do you agree that we are sitting ducks here? People want so badly to gain that normalcy we had before 9.11 but the truth is that NOTHING will ever be the same & we can't get too comfortable. There are so many plans that can put in action to safeguard our nation & I think we're doing absolutely nothing. For instance, these ferry companies which take on hundreds of passengers on a daily basis can be a target and it scares the HECK out of many of the locals, including me (we are also smack in the middle of the Lincoln & Holland Tunnels). I don't think those in charge are taking things too seriously. Honest opinions please!
I don't live my life freaked out & constantly afraid of things. Just the type to be realistic... if you can avoid a mishap, why not do something about it. Many people's lives could have been saved if people only did their part. What's coming isn't going to be pretty & we're just not prepared & THAT'S what pisses me off. Such a big country that thinks they're such bad-asses can't take care of some terrorists? Come on, defend our country & defend it right!

While 9/11 was extraordinary, NYC was always a terrorist target.
During the 70's the FALN (Puerto Rican Freedom) set off bombs in Manhattan.
It just something that goes along with living in a world capital city (like London, like Tokyo).
You can't let it rule your life.

If you are so nervous and scared you might as well move to one of those states that are populated with survivalists, living in holes in the ground with their guns. Maybe then I can get a nice apt along Blvd East with a view of the city :P
