the Liberty Ship SS Richard Montgomery is only about 2 miles from the Oil Refinery and a Tsunami is sure to be created.

It was deemed too dangerous to remove half of the ordnance at the time, and it is known that the explosive is unstable over time. I wonder what security the authorities put in place visa vis IRA and now ISIL.
