Please use proper units

"a pile of metal five times the size of Hawaii's big island"

This sounds suspiciously like a unit of area, in which case the correct units would either be Wales or square brontosaurus. However, since we're talking about a mass of metal we should be looking at olympic swimming pools, although this adds the complication of whether they mean just the visible part of Hawaii or the entire volume from the sea floor upwards.
