When it comes to safeguarding its personnel, the U.S. military prides itself on its commitment. However, military families residing in Hawaii expressed a profound sense of betrayal during our interactions with them.
Approximately two years ago, a fuel spill occurred in close proximity to the drinking water system at the Pearl Harbor base in Hawaii. Despite assurances from Navy leadership that the tap water was safe, it was later revealed that the water consumed by thousands of military families, including the water used for bathing their children, was contaminated with jet fuel.
Following the spill, it took nearly two weeks for parents to uncover the truth about the tainted water they had been using. Many families reported adverse health effects due to the consumption of jet fuel-contaminated water.
Before delving into the firsthand accounts of affected families, it is crucial to understand the genesis of the water crisis at Pearl Harbor.
