Status of liquified natural gas terminals.

[NNadir]

Recently there was a thread about the explosion proposed by the warmongers in Nevada.

This got me thinking about the importation of natural gas and the possible accidental explosions.

Here, from the gas industry, is a discussion of new liquified natural gas terminals:

The most recent explosion at a liquified gas facility was at Skikda, Algeria in 2004 (where gas was being liquified for export.) The explosion killed 27 people, injured 80 and did $800M in damage.

Of course the risk of such explosions is low. The bigger risk of natural gas has to do with what's left after it burns.
