I will say this ... that may be the end of A/C being able to fly down the corridor of Manhattan VFR. Since 9/11 there has been a huge amount of pressure to shut it down but AOPA has been able to win the fight, and in fairness to the FAA they are of the opinion of leaving it open but this incident may be the nail in the coffin. Especially in an election year...
