The headline saying “gallons” doesn’t really imply “550 gallons“ which was the actual amount. That’s a lot of pollution.
- You know those giant white plastic cube storage tanks that hold 1000L? They dumped the equivalent of two of those full of toxic waste.
  
  I wouldn't go so far as to call it toxic waste but fuck anyone pouring industrial chemicals into a storm drain. That's embarrassing for such a wealthy company.
- Well, 12 gallons, contaminating 500 that they pumped out.
- A better way to put it would to say quarter ton, since that's what it really is
  
  If it's weight is anything like water, 550 gallons would weigh near 2.5 tons
  
  Oh, that's right! I forgot about volume!
