I'll sink Manhattan.

In a morbid but serendipitous coincidence, TMBG's "I'll Sink Manhattan" came on shuffle as I read this Science Daily article about how vulnerable NYC is to flooding. It's hard to juxtapose New Orleans with New York, but scientists say it's inevitable.

Scary snippet:

If a category-3 hurricane hit NYC, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers estimates that nearly 30% of the south side of Manhattan would be flooded. Storm surge flooding could threaten billions of dollars of property and have a grave impact on the lives of the millions of people who live in NYC. During the December 1992 nor'easter, storm tides over-topped some of the region's seawalls for only a few hours, but managed to flood the NYC subway and the PATH train systems at the train station in Hoboken New Jersey, shutting down these transportation systems for several days.
