Red Hill Leak: Actually, There Is Security Camera Footage, Navy Says

TL;DR - The U.S. Navy says there was a functioning security camera nearby when an estimated 1,100 gallons of concentrated firefighting chemicals leaked at Red Hill on Tuesday – a reversal of statements made earlier this week.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Navy Adm. John Wade said there were no cameras positioned at the leak location and he wasn’t aware of any video footage. Operators later reported that they identified two cameras near the leak site, the Navy told Civil Beat after an inquiry Thursday evening.

“Initial reporting to (the joint task force) about the existence of cameras was incorrect,” the Navy said.
