The Quest study commisioned by Chevron-Texaco holds another interesting fact I didn't mention. An LNG leak from that 5 meter hole from one 25,000 cubic meter cell will travel laterally along the ground for 2.5 miles before reaching the lower limit of flammability on a windless day (page 23). netl.doe.gov The study does not do the trivial math for you, so I will. This is a 5 mile diameter or 7.85 square miles incinerated by the major rupture of one cell on an LNG tanker. At this point I might ask Mr Quillen why they are planning on an accident which ruptures only a single cell. He of course would answer that they don't plan to have any accidents. I suspect the full accident or sabotage potential is far greater than the 20 or 30 square miles I recalled. I don't think most people could have any idea of the pressure and potential thermal energy represented by an LNG tanker. LNG tankers are perfectly fine for remote uninhabited islands in northwestern Australia, but not for populated areas.
