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)?
“What would happen if a 777 loaded with explosives collided with one of those while it was in port?”
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.
Do you have volcano insurance? Those ships aren’t new. They been in service and plying the ocean.
