It probably should have been rescheduled to a later date but I understand that's not all that easy for such a large event.
Don't/shouldn't events like this have a "disaster-related cancellation" contingency of some sort? I mean, if something like this was happening during 9/11, I'm sure they would've got everyone off the track pronto. The city should probably step in at this point and just put the brakes on.
