I bet its the total weight of all the shite that was pumped out. The bulk of it probably being sand, pebbles, dirt. Those are heavy.

I agree. That's an absurd amount that doesn't seem like it would fit in 5 blocks of catch basins. I'm seeing 6 dozen beads weighs roughly 2 pounds. So 6000 dozen per ton. 276,000 dozen beads in these 5 blocks? Seems unlikely.

To break it down, 93,000 lbs of beads equals 1,743,000 sightings of big, out-of-town titties on Bourbon Street.
