Red Hill Security Cameras Were Disconnected Before Fuel Leaks, Kahele Says

TL;DR - Security cameras that should have captured two major fuel leaks at the Navy’s Red Hill fuel facility last year were not recording because months prior, someone cut an electrical line “rendering all the cameras unusable,” Rep. Kai Kahele said during a Facebook Live event on Tuesday evening.

The Navy has identified a fuel leak on May 6, 2021 as the likely cause of the water contamination that hit the taps of military families in November. Fuel from that leak allegedly made its way into a fire suppression drain pipe that burst on Nov. 20 when it was supposedly hit with a cart.
