WATCH: Fuel Spewed ‘Full Blast’ Into Red Hill Tunnel In November

TL;DR - As fuel rained down, creating a virtual river on the concrete floor of a Red Hill facility tunnel in November, the worker who accidentally triggered the leak found himself powerless to stop it.

So he took photos and video.

The images, obtained by Civil Beat from a military source, have not been shared publicly before. They illustrate the horrific fuel leak at the Navy’s fuel storage complex on Nov. 20 that would ultimately contaminate the drinking water of military families living around Pearl Harbor, sickening hundreds.

The videos captured various points in time of the fuel release that, according to the Navy, lasted more than 34 hours.
