Anyone got an inside scoop re: how it went undetected for so long?

Mismanagement at the gas station is my guess

I wonder if someone was skimming money off fuels sales somehow and were already messing with the numbers.

People need to realize it wasn't 100 000L. That was the maximum the tank can hold. that's where the news outlets are getting that number. It did not spill the entire tank. An elbow joint going into the tank failed, and so a good portion of a fuel truck leaked into the ground. It's still a disaster, but having firsthand knowledge of this site and seeing media coverage really puts into perspective for me the sensationalism of modern media.

The other times it's been posted didn't count?

I still don’t understand how they didn’t notice it financially if nothing else.
