Whenever I fly in or out of Newark International Airport it seems the planes fly over the hugh Bayway (Tosco) complex. It is at most 5 air miles from the airport. Doesn't sound like too safe a siting to me considering how that Concorde went down over a nearby village. If anything like that happened the infracstructure would suffer serious damage.
