    It may have been American units rather than Imperial.  They are not always the same, but more with tons and gallons and such.  Distance and time are the same, I believe.

    That crash occured because two different teams were working the computations, one using Imperial and the other team using metric and each assumed that they other team was using the same units and neither side ever confirming that the other team was using the same units.
