[edit] Moved editorial comments

I moved the following text here from the main article. It seems to be editorial in nature, and questions the content of the article. It does reference sources, although ones I do not have easy access to. — Eoghanacht ^talk 19:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

"on adjoining Flood Rock" may be misleading in the above paragraph. A page of engravings from Harper's Weekly for December 25, 1880, page 824, shows tunneling operations under Flood Rock preparatory for the blast.

A full page engraving, page 680 pf vol. XXIX, No. 1504 shows the explosion itself from 87th Street, with a crowd of spectators. It does appear to blow up from under water, and must have been a thrilling sight.
