[edit] Incorrect Units?

The article states "a petroleum pipeline operated by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners ruptured, spilling an estimated 1,500 barrels (240 m²) of diesel," but barrels are a measure of volume and square meters are a measure of area. 1500 barrels is roughly equivalent to 176 cubic meters, so it's not clear to me what 240 square meters is referring to, but it's certainly not the volume of diesel spilled (even if we assume the square meters were accidentally written in place of cubic meters). Furthermore it's probably not the area covered by the spilled diesel since that would be a very thick spill, and even in the unlikley event it is intentionally talking about area it shouldn' be written in a manner that suggests a mere unit conversion from barrels.
