The AirTrain stations are actually rather well designed structures. In the event of a terminal fire, etc, I would much rather be in the AirTran station than the terminal. I suspect they would also provide some protection for the surrounding structures in the event of an explosion. Also, the track channel would likely direct much of the force of an explosion on the train itself upward.
