As most of us know, jet fuel is used for airplanes, one of the most popular means of transportation in the world. As you can imagine, this type of fuel, which contains very harmful hydrocarbons such as kerosene, has the risk of causing significant harm to human health. For this reason, such fuels should definitely not be drunk.
However, new news showed that a frightening event took place in the US state of Hawaii in the last month of 2021. According to the statements, jet fuel leaked into a drinking water supply in the state of Hawaii due to a leak in a navy warehouse. As a result, thousands of people had to be hospitalized.
More than 5,000 people applied to the hospital
As a result of this terrible event, authorities said that more than 5,900 people in the state applied to the hospital with headaches, nausea and rash. It was also added to the explanations that 4,000 families, mostly army personnel, were placed in hotels. A US senator also described the event as an “astronomical crisis”.
In addition, in the statements, it was noted that the US Navy spent more than $ 250 million in the first six weeks after this great drinking water crisis. In addition, an admiral in the navy stated that the navy took the blame during a trial, while another commander said, “The navy caused this problem, we will fix it.” In addition, it was among the news that the public put pressure on the warehouse to be closed.
Finally, the information obtained stated that the warehouse where the leak occurred is 80 years old, and that it has been providing fuel to the warships and planes of the US army in the Pacific Ocean since the Second World War. It was also stated that the existence of this warehouse was kept secret for a long time, and then its secrecy was lifted. However, it was also noted in the statements that very few people knew about the warehouse before this terrible event.
