Diesel pipe leak at NuStar terminal San Antonio

Please read this article about a diesel pipe leak at the NuStar San Antonio terminal.

This happened despite the "most sophisticated safety and environmental measures available".

This could happen in St. Eustatius too, because the to be built Farm located terminal will be connected with a pipeline to the location in Tumble Down Dick Bay.

Please not that the affected area is a half acre, that is 2 square kilometer. Around 500 barrels spilled from the leak (1 barrel contains 42 gallon or 159 liter).

Do the math.
