Mercury News: "largely aspirational"
Independent: Had the plotters ever enacted the plan, they would have been most unlikely to succeed because the river is lower than Manhattan. … But an American counterterrorism official said that investigators had found no evidence that the Holland tunnel was part of the plot.

London Times: FBI officials said that the plot had been in its planning stages. It was also pointed out that any plan to flood Wall Street would have failed because Lower Manhattan lies above the level of the Hudson River.
CBS in Chicago: Senior official: Plot "mere ‘jihadist bravado,’" and "largely aspirational."

FBI Agent Barry Smith distributed the proposal at a private meeting last Friday with industry representatives and indicated it would be introduced by Sen. Mike DeWine, an Ohio Republican, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.”
