This is our aquifer. The Halawa Shaft, up until Dec. 2021, provided 20% of Honolulu’s water. The Board of Water Supply announced that due to the Navy contaminating our water with fuel from their leaking Red Hill tanks, we may never be able to draw from this shaft again. Ever.

In the 1980’s the Apartheid South African government tried to build a chemical/biological weapons program under the operation called “Project Coast”. Part of that project involved trying to find ways of sterilizing Black South Africans and reducing their birth rates. 🧵

This toxic chemical spill happened at a U.S. military facility in November 2022 — but the military just released the video footage last week. An estimated 1,300 gallons of fire suppressant spilled at the Red Hill storage facility in Hawai‘i.

The surveillance footage merely confirms what many already knew: that the public release of the video didn’t threaten to compromise the integrity of the investigation. In actuality, the release of the video threatened to further compromise the reputation of the US Military.

Last year when I asked Adm. Wade why they refused to release the video, he said they couldn’t because it might “compromise the integrity of the investigation”. When I asked for a single concrete example of how it could, he couldn’t provide one.

On pg. 288 of the Navy's Friday News Dump, an engineer who viewed the site in Dec '22 made a chilling observation: "drains on the concentrate line... show signs of extremely slow leaks with amber droplets on the threads of the outlet plugs." Is PFAS still leaking from Red Hill?

Connecting the pipe to the inlet plug bypasses the air vacuum valve entirely, turning the 'relief' pipe into a diverted track for the AFFF line, leading to an 8-foot standpipe that would inevitably overflow with 1,300 gallons of AFFF concentrate into the Adit 6 entrance.

Here's how this catastrophic spill of PFAS seems to have occurred: a defense contractor incorrectly installed a relief pipe into an INLET that retains AFFF concentrate rather than the air vacuum OUTLET to which it was supposed to be connected. Yes, it really is that stupid.
