Not only that (it would be OK if it was the only problem): the article is in a form of a thriller-movie rather than a scientific (or popular science) article - too many interspersed digressions, you have to read it until the very end to get the basic facts (contrary to the "inverted pyramid" principle). I would expect such an article to be broken down, with trivia such as details about the container markings extracted to text boxes.
