Quoting myself from my original post -

According to the U.S. EPA, 123 chemical facilities in the United States each threaten a million or more nearby residents. More than 700 plants could put at least 100,000 people at risk, and more than 3,000 facilities have at least 10,000 people nearby

Also, in the first post there is a link to a 60 minutes story that show how accessible these plants are - 5 people walked around a chemical plant after walking in through a wide open gate and only got stopped after leaving the property. Another quote from the CBS story

"I found almost non-existent security in a lot of places,” says Prine, ...“I walked right up to the tanks. There was one plant in Chicago, I simply sat on top of the tank and waved ‘Hello, I'm on your tank.’"

Sabatoge, it seems, would be incredibly easy to accomplish with security systems like these in place...
