amount of water in an olympic pool...

2,500,000 litres or 2.5 megalitres of water.

Olympic size pools measure: 50 metres long, 25 metres wide, and a minimum of 2 metres deep.

(25m x 50m x 2m = 2,500m3; 1L = 0.001m3 so 2,500 x 1000 = 2,500,000L)

pretty damn close.... that's just the one, and not accounting for the sea water poured constantly on it, that's a lot of stuff that should never have seen the light of day, let alone let into the oceans....

and where did that mega-float thingy go? i've googled it heaps of times and no answers.... huge cover up methinks and possibly sunk at night....
