A 600,000-barrel LNG tank and a loaded LNG tanker. If those cook off there won't be a town there any more. I hope they keep some hoses on those to keep them cool. When LNG gets hot it expands rapidly and starts venting. And that is when the real problems will start.

Venting shouldn't be a big problem, it'll just be a big torch. I said to myself when I first hit the thread what's the big deal it sucks, but let it burn out. Another poster brought up the big worry, if the tanker is cast adrift when the mooring line burns through and floats over and impacts the LNG tank then I wouldn't want to be in the same zip code, maybe area code.
