    Some things like this would benefit from being sensationalized though right? Would be better if a lot of people actually were pissed about this and that it would be over responded to.

    I definitely hope it’s less than a million gallons, but whether it’s a million gallons or 300 thousand gallons or 500 this evokes much the exact same response from me. Just because it’s a horrid thing wasn’t an even more horrible thing doesn’t make either not a bad thing.

    I think people just aren’t responding well because when you explain that it’s an estimate and could be lower that you might be trying to downplay the situation. Like it’s not 100 it’s actually 80 so no one should be mad kinda thing
