"Megaliters" ?[edit]

Is that a normal unit of measure? Wouldn't something like "10 billion liters" work better? 68.39.174.238 18:20, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, megalitre would be correct here. w:Litre#SI prefixes applied to the litre.Peachey88 (Contribs) (Wikipedia: Userpage) (Wikipedia: Talkpage) 14:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deceptive[edit]

The title is deceptive and makes it sound like the dam burst when it didn't, the inflatable bladder around the dam did. It should be updated to reflect that, yes there were four people in there at the time, of which three managed to make it out but a young girl was swept away and died.

Please feel free to amend the title - Cartman02au (Talk)(AU Portal) 12:07, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
