I'm still wondering how the Steinway factory fared on Monday. Also, that dangling crane is right across the street from Carnegie Hall, and not far from the Steinway basement. Is anyone here close enough to Queens to find out how things went? And actually has internet access and a powered up computer or device? As for the economic implications, the idea that damage can improve the economy is called "the broken window fallacy." The idea behind that name is that while money gets spent on a broken window, it would have been spent on other, often more productive things if the window had not been broken. Sort of a "robbing Peter to pay Paul" kind of reasoning.
