The company operating a pipeline that leaked about 14,000 bathtubs' worth of crude oil into a northeastern Kansas creek is recovering at least a small part of it from what was the largest onshore crude oil spill in nine years.

“Our commitment to the community is that our response efforts will continue until we have fully remediated the site,” the company said in a statement.

It said the company must reduce the operating pressure by 20% inside the 96-mile segment running from Steele City, Nebraska, south to Hope, Kansas. It also said the company cannot restart operations in that segment without the permission of the pipeline safety regulators.The company also must identify the root cause of the spill and submit a plan for finding similar problems elsewhere and conducting additional tests by early March.

that explains why bed bath and beyond are closing stores.

14,000 bathtubs equal about 20 train tankers.

😳🤨🤢

1 bathtub = 42 gallons Also 1 barrel of oil = 42 gallons. 14k * 42 = 588,000 gallons

🛀 ×14,000=woke math. All previous math was racist and therefore banned

Umm, how many banana is a bathtub?

Just say an estimate of 2,226,000 liters. Why even use bathtubs? Like who bathes in crude oil?

'But, pipelines never leak!!!'....says oil companies and their bought-and-paid-for politicians.

How much is that in football fields full of milk jugs terms?

The fuck kinda measurement is 14,000 bathtubs

What's the conversion of bathtubs to football fields?

Will the AP report many bathtubs of oil was recovered when it is finished?

Bathtub gin aficionado’s joined the chat

Oh, so it's fine then...carry on.

Looks like Trumpublicans finally got their pipeline opened...

But Republicans and oil companies want us to let them to build bigger pipelines across sacred lands and just trust them with that.

What is 'a small part'- a teaspoon full ?

In bathtubs how much is 'a small part'? One bathtub? Half of one?

what is the conversion for bathtubs to gallons?

I too measure things in bathtubs.

Who came up with the “bathtub” unit of measurement. Should be fired honestly.
