A terrorist attack is unlikely.

An earthquake is unlikely.

A tornado is unlikely.

A flood is unlikely.

...

The more unlikely risks there are, the greater the odds that one of them will 
happen. If you don't have off site backups then your data are at risk, and when 
the balloon goes up it won't matter how unlikely the particular failure mode 
was.

I had serious discussion with some VIPs about it, approx 20 years ago
(WTC attack).
I had to explain we are starting DR centre with remote copy to protect
against many disasters, BUT...
Dedicated terrorist attack is unlikely, but when considered you cannot
exclude coordinated attack on two (three) datacenters at the time.
If you want to be safe you have to protect your datacenter well enough.
And of course there is bigger bomb for bigger shelter.
