but would a pipeline actually blow up? Or would it require a opening inside the pipeline to get air insdie to blow it up?

Look now. We can't have questions. Just accept it was 'one of the most chilling imaginable'. Why? Because a government official told you so and that's all you need to know.

Defeitas sought help in carrying out a plan and went to an FBI informant, who gathered information about the plot.....One law enforcement official said: "[There was] credible intent to commit violence but it was not operational."

Course I'm not going to comment this sounds vaguely familiar. Like the pizza delivery boy who asked the FBI informant to lead his small band in attacking a military installation. One would think if he was so gung ho and knowledgeable he wouldn't have to ask the FBI informant to lead them. Nope not going to say it. That would be 'unpatriotic'....Not to going to ask what defines 'credible intent' either.

Sheesh, can't the government come up with more believable acts? These stories are just getting ridiculous.

I don’t know how the NY airports are laid out...but here the fuel is stored in tanks far, far from the general public. The planes are fueled from either small trucks or small pipelines under the tarmac. Perhaps the MSM is inflating the story a bit? :)

Oil depots that supply major airports and are located in heavily populated areas can go boom...

The 2005 Hertfodshire Oil Storage Terminal Fire was caused by a series of explosions, early on the morning of December 11, 2005

We read all about it on Free Republic 1 1/2 years ago.
