O'ahu: Poisoned by the U.S. Navy

The Navy has been leaking jet fuel into the landscape of the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu for decades. We learn how long these leaks have been occurring and we learn about the leaks that have occurred since the beginning of 2021, that have caused a massive public outcry against the Navy. There were copious amounts of human errors that led to devastating consequences for the surrounding communities, the land, and the wildlife. We must hold our military and government leadership accountable for their atrocities.
