All Intensive Purposes

The Daily News reported that the plotters wanted to blow up the Holland Tunnel, the southernmost link between Manhattan and New Jersey, in the hopes of flooding New York's financial district. The desired effect would be akin to the flooding that ravaged New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the newspaper said. . . .

It's unlikely that any plan to flood the financial district would work because it is above the level of the Hudson River.
