Distributions of airport susceptibility.

<p>(<b>a</b>) The cumulative probability distributions capture the strong impact heterogeneity across airports in all disruptions. Susceptibilities to real scenarios are more broadly distributed than in attacks targeting central airports. Dashed lines mark power laws . (<b>b</b>) Same as panel (a) for the ensembles of geographical and random disruptions and attacks that target high-centrality airports (for details see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0069829#pone.0069829.s001" target="_blank">Text S1</a> Sec. S5). The ensembles of random an geographical disruptions follow a similar scaling to the real-world disruptions () while the targeted attack ensembles scale like individual high-centrality disruptions ().
