Accidents at LNG facilities can be big. The stored energy even in pressurized inert gas is enough to cause massive destruction when you're talking about 48 and 72 inch diameter pipes. Add in the flame effects of methane and a simple accident can cause a lot of damage. Its possible that something exploded that had been damaged in the attack in March but had gone unnoticed
Kalshi operates CFTC regulated contracts, they're equivalent to say the contract swaps that are made for things like commodities or interest rates. No one disputes their ability to operate these markets. Sports is pretty questionable as it falls outside of what would normally be considered a swap and Kalshi's own fillings from a couple years back tried to differentiate between sports and other swaps. Ultimately Kalshi would probably not be able to operate sports markets but it seems like the CFTC will issue a somewhat broad regulatory statement that allows it before these cases would get through to a judgement.
