A terrorist attack on an LNG tanker in the proposed LNG tanker mooring in the Port of Los Angeles would be released and disperse within minutes. Not time for a phone call. It's simply the wrong place for this. You need a buffer zone surrounding an LNG terminal. The Japanese and some others have urban LNG moorings but they like to live dangerously. The LNG that disperses a great distance is the liquid phase, like water released from tank. As the LNG warms up and becomes gas, it's lighter than air and rises more or less straight up. A release over deep water, such as at an offshore mooring site becomes gas too quickly to travel much more than the 1.5 mile radius in the Chevron test. The deep water of the ocean contains a great amount of heat to transfer to the LNG. *** I can see it now down at the Long Beach Fire dept. "Hey Chief! The Coast Guard says that lng cloud is comin' our way and it's 5 miles long!"
