Navy refuses to publicly release video of latest Red Hill spill

TL;DR - The Navy today said it would release video footage of last week’s spill of toxic fire suppressant chemicals at Red Hill to federal and state environmental regulators, but not the public claiming that doing so could impede its investigation into the latest accident at its massive underground fuel facility.

The Navy’s decision to withhold the footage from the public was immediately panned by the Hawaii Sierra Club, which called it “outrageous.”

“The Navy continues to talk about transparency while hiding evidence of its repeated contamination of our environment,” said David Kimo Frankel, an attorney for the environmental group.
