[quote:Pole Cat:MV8zODA4Mjc3XzY4Mzg3NjIxX0JFQzk2Rjcx] From 2007: A chilling terrorist plot to blow up a fuel pipeline that feeds JFK Airport – that its four Muslim schemers hoped would be so large that “even the Twin Towers can’t touch it” – has been stopped dead in its tracks with the arrest of three of the four men behind it, authorities announced yesterday. The international plot – which was only in its planning phases – stretched from Queens to the West Indies and involved a Guyanese politician, two men from Trinidad and a Guyanese-born U.S. citizen who had once worked as a cargo handler at the airport. [b]In the indictment charging them, one is quoted as saying the plot would “cause greater destruction than in the Sept. 11 attacks,” destroying the airport, killing several thousand people and destroying parts of Queens, where the line lies just four feet underground.[/b] The accused mastermind, Russell Mohammed Defreitas, a U.S. citizen native to Guyana and former JFK employee, allegedly said the airport was a symbol that would put “the whole country in mourning.” https://nypost.com/2007/06/03/pipeline-bomb-strike-foiled/ only reason I post above link is to show the severity of just 1 blown pipeline. Seriously, I can't be the only one here who has thought of this. There really isn't much info to find on the web and was REALLY hoping someone here who is more knowledgeable about the subject would contribute a speculation. [/quote]

The United States has the largest network of energy pipelines in the world, with more than 2.4 million miles of pipe.
The network of crude oil pipelines in the U.S. is extensive. There are approximately 72,000 miles of crude oil lines in the U.S. that connect regional markets.

Anyone here on GLP privy on what the ramifications would be if these pipelines were targeted or hit with a nuclear bomb?
also was just wondering what the ramifications would be on underground bunkers and shelters?
