I belive the "Ploughshare" project to blast a new Panama Canal fell
on a study about what would happen if the barrier of Panama was breached.

I have no idea if the math was solid or doctored to keep Tellers ideas
in check, but the conclusion was that even a small breach would likely
be impossible to mend again, because it would connect two oceans by tidal
action.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
