The two in Alexandria are of course just down the road from the airport. A widebody jet cratering in that location will put them both out of business.

None of the runways point towards them, its hard to imagine that scenario.

34R does. The immediate right turn in the 34R ILS and RNP missed approach procedures takes you pretty much directly overhead Equinix.

Aircraft routinely overfly the location either on departure from 34R or approach for 16L.

They're also below sea level.

Theres an Energex office building in Brisbane that has a backup generator below sea level. (Guess when they need to use the generator lmao.)

If it's a once in 25 year flood then it won't be a problem for the person who made that decision!
