- jollyllama 4y agoI'm thinking "spill" would have been better. Edit: to match parent comment edit Ok, spill is innacurate, but it's still less confusing than plume. Just by the headline, or someone talking about a plume, you don't know if the article is talking about something that ended a week ago vs something that is ongoing, which is of importance to people in the affected areas.
