What would happen if a 777 loaded with explosives collided with one of those while it was in port?

Would the gas contribute to the force of the explosion(s)?

I guess everything in the range of 1-3 miles (at least) would be totally destroyed. But I don’t think it should be used against LNG carriers. There are many other “sensitive” facilities, oil & gas storage, nuclear power plants, ammo depots etc.

Nothing. That is because most LNG ports are built offshore, with a multi-mile pipeline running to land.

Just study Cove Point LNG in Lusby, MD. It was an LNG import terminal. To protect Baltimore, the dock is located more than a mile away.

But, that plant is now being rebuilt as an LNG export terminal, so we can start selling natural gas to other nations.

I am involved in the project.
