Operational issue – Multiple services (UAE)
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.

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.

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