To terrorism or a horrible accident. the port authority is in the process of making another tunnel into Manhattan for trains. This is in addition to the two car tunnels and two train tunnels and bridge already in place. Maybe we would have a better chance with a train to Jersey then to Manhattan. The port authority apparently doesn't have the constraints that the Mta and city have. Another reason the tunnel won't be built is because having a monopoly on the verrazano as the only Way on or off via vechicle allows them to charge the outrageous toll they have now.

That's where most Staten Islanders commute to anyway. Obviously this would be extremely costly, but it's certainly not impossible. Not when there's a 40 mile tunnel connecting England and France. It just doesn't make sense connecting to Brooklyn. Very few Staten Island go to Brooklyn and visa versa. if there ever is a subway link to SI it should be from Manhattan.
