Should this what if scenario occurs, and with the cuts to area hospitals thanks to the federal government; just how will these area hospitals treat the mass causalities?

 

President Bush has the audacity to demand billions of dollars more to fund his war, yet can strip hospitals of their vital funds should a terrorist attack occur or an accidental blast coming from a LNG terminal.

 

Say if a terrorist cell decides to carry out their plan during the summer months when more are using the Sound for either boating or swimming, “According to GAO Senior Energy Analyst Jim Turkett, anyone who stands a mile away from the explosion for 30 seconds can have second-degree burns.”  How many citizens and tourists will be affected by this blast should it occur?  What will be the extent of damage done should a terrorist use these LNG terminals as a triggering device for a dirty bomb?
