The Montreal Gazette reports on the findings of a master’s student specializing in risk management that suggest that terrorism is a legitimate threat to the proposed Rabaska LNG facility. The critic cites past unforeseen disasters, including the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island and the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, as evidence that such an incident is possible and notes that a disaster at the facility could harm both the U.S. and Canadian economies. The recently-released report of a joint Canadian-Quebec risk assessment panel rejected such claims.
