What kind of weather event are you thinking of? I think airplanes are typically designed to withstand high winds. The weather in this region is dry, and that's really the only word that can describe it. On top of that, we're at the beginning of the dry season. It's more likely a landing plane accidentally crashes into these parked planes than the weather leaves us with a trillion dollars of mangled scrap.
- coke12 7y agoWhat about arson?
- dnautics 7y agothe planes are rather far apart from each other and alumininum isn't the most flammable thing. Also there is about 300-1km cordon around the whole thing with warning signs saying "this is national security area", and it's so sparse that it's probably rather effectively surveiled by about 3-4 people unless, say, 1000 people try to do arson at the same time. Apparently theft of radar equipment is more of a thing than arson.
- hef19898 7y agoNot just aluminium, the whole plane is designed to make it hard to catch fire.
- 0xddd 7y agoIsn't this a region that's incredibly prone to wildfires?
- rtkwe 7y agoAirports aren’t generally very wooded areas... and the SCLA is in basically scrub land with barely enough vegetation for a good brush fire.
- rickdangerous1 7y agoMaybe a comet impact? Use your apocalyptic imagination to find the scenario most likely to you?
