Some news outlets report as much as 120,000 gallons leaked.
Time to review and inspect their infrastructure.

Prolly more like 100,000 alcoholics that suddenly cried out in terror ... Hm, btw, isn't this called alcohol abuse?

Think bigger I get food safe 55 gallon drums for 8 dollars each bought 10 when I was given a truckload of pineapples and just got my hands on an 80 gallon stainless steel drum that was full of corn syrup which will probably be my next mash tank.

Could've been worse. Imagine getting an infection in an Olympic pool sized mash. Somebody's head would roll.
