The tanks in the picture aren't unprotected. You'll get a severe case of lead poisoning if you try to get as close as I was today.
The objective of the picture was to educate folks who might be near a tank of hazardous materials. There are legitimate failures of such tanks that have nothing to do with acts of terror or vandalism.
