The barge contained Unleaded Gasoline, but I am sure this will make the diesel go up anyways.

I saw it... Massive. I was drining tfrom my home in DE to my real home in NJ, I saw a huge cloud from way far south... I finally thought to put on mnewsradio, and heard all about it... They were afraid it was the Hess refinery (that would have been a huge mess).

Approaching exit 11, I saw the actual flame, which must have gone 200 ft in the air, and the miles high plume of smoke. NYC was generally hazy today, but that was an amazing (in a bad way) sight.
