Is there a pipeline in the area? Or refinery?

I'm not sure. I have learned that there is, however, an LNG storage facility at the Port of Providence which certainly would be a target as well as the LNG tankers coming through.

JET DIVERTED TO INDIANAPOLIS AFTER COCKPIT SMOKE SPOTTED

The Associated Press
5/23/2004, 10:14 p.m. ET

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A regional commercial jet flying from St. Louis to Newark, N.J., was diverted to Indianapolis Sunday because smoke was spotted in the cockpit and cabin of the plane, an airport spokesman said.

The plane landed safely at Indianapolis International Airport shortly before 6 p.m. EST, and the 44 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, spokesman Dennis Rosebrough said.

No one was injured. Passengers were taken by shuttle to the airport terminal and booked on other flights to Newark.

There was no evidence of flames or fire on the plane, which was operated by Chautauqua Airlines flying for American Airlines, Rosebrough said.

Rosebrough said an electrical short circuit could have caused the smoke. The midsized jet, an Embraer, is still in Indianapolis, where Chautauqua has a maintenance hanger, he said.
