Probably above ground massive tanks. Was just looking over google maps for O'Hare airport, and there are 8 tanks I conservatively estimate capacity at 10,000,000 liters of Jet fuel each.

I expect the 49th Armored or one of the Air Force Units stationed at Ohare would have attempted to secure these. A smaller number of storage tanks were on the former military side of the airport but I believe those were removed after the cold war ended.
