In brooklyn is connected to it. It was totally filled with water. Both tubes, from one end to the other, from the manhattan end to the brooklyn end. Ere were close to 100 million gallons of water that had to be pumped out of that tunnel and its still not back up to snuff. Thats one of many examples. Theres so many. The mta did a very good job. I want to congratulate joe lhota. They moved their Rolling Stock to high ground. Tried to barricade this awful flood in the best way they could. Boy, its awful. The mta is the largest Public Transportation system in the country. Its the life blood of new york. Its our circulatory system. 3. 5 Million People g on and off Manhattan Island every day to work. Wow. 3. 5 Million People. I guess thats more than the people in mississippi and probably more than the people in dade county, any way. And we depend on it. 2. 63 billion trips a year.

Will come 20 years down the road. You mentioned the justice component of many of these islamist parties. This is a response today corruption of these u. S. Sponsored regimes.

That said, that awareness, that recognition that ben bernanke and former cea sheriff lazar cea chair lazear should not undermine that we face temporary or futures skills gaps but there is three reasons we should be focused on this.
