This is way more likely then a roof membrane failure. Happens quite often during and after major hail storms.

Looking at google maps, its clear that B pier has a different roofing system than most of the rest of the airport.
Almost certainly has been inspected along the way many times, but it's still an old roof.
That section appears to have mechanical penthouses as well, so there are large sections of roofing to wall connections (could be subject to failure?)
You can actually see roof maintenance being done on that roof on whatever day the overhead photos were taken - is there a way to tell?
