The Connecticut Post Online - Broadwater terminal poses inferno risk

The Connecticut Post Online - Broadwater terminal poses inferno risk: "A major explosion on a tanker carrying liquefied natural gas to the proposed Broadwater terminal in Long Island Sound would burn skin as far as a mile away, according to a congressional study.

The Government Accountability Office, which determined that a terrorist attack on a tanker, a natural disaster or an accident would severely burn people up to a mile away, concluded further research is needed to understand the consequences of such an inferno."
