Of course there are contingency plans for a tunnel being blocked - as it has been on several previous occasions due to road accidents, no need for terrorists.
If that had been 10 tons of explosive we'd have been down to a single runway in a few milliseconds.......................... and no way of getting to T2 & T3 except by rail or the cargo tunnel from the south...................
If a runway had been put out of action with a crater halfway along it, the question of access to the CTA would be a bit academic.
