A mile a minute, also known as 60 mph, but that doesn’t sound as frightening, I guess.

That’s like hitting a wall at 60 mph with tens of thousands of pounds of gas (probably much more)…..kind of frightening to me.

Feeling really bad for the families here.

Yeah, it's one of the things I detest about 'journalists'. And it's even more detestable when they change units in a single article to push their agenda. I have seen them on multiple occasions report the quantity of oil spilled in gallons ("4,200 gallons of oil spilled into the river...") and the quantity of oil recovered in barrels ("...so far just 100 barrels of oil have been recovered"). Most people do not know that 4,200 gallons is the same as 100 barrels...
