It's got electrolytes.
Tragedy struck the island of Oahu, in late November, when pipes holding jet fuel at a Naval storage facility burst after a driver inadvertently bumped a PVC valve and spewed tens of thousands of toxic gallons into the environment for thirty-plus hours. Hundreds of families living around Pearl Harbor were later sickened by drinking or showering in contaminated water.
According to Honolulu Civil Beat:
The Navy says most of the fuel was captured in the end. However, up to 5,542 gallons of fuel were never recovered. Some portion of that amount is believed to have contaminated Pearl Harbor’s drinking water through the porous concrete of the tunnel and a drain line located on the floor of the tunnel that connects directly to the drinking water source. The leak was just 380 feet away from the well, according to the Navy’s investigation.
Despite knowledge of the severity of the leak and its proximity to the nearby Red Hill well, military leaders assured residents that their drinking water was safe and there was no cause for alarm. They continued those assurances even after the Hawaii Department of Health issued a Do Not Drink advisory on Nov. 29.
Well, just-released video shows the actual jet fuel geyser and it is amazing that this sort of business can be stored so closely to drinking water wells, even more amazing that officials give a green light to drinking jet fuel.
Does it have electrolytes?
Hmmmm.

Ultimately it was the Catholic church who colonised S. America and ferried back mountains of gold bought by blood.
Damn those buildings!!!
It also brought liberation theology.
You’re right, Hawaii would be way better if run by the Japanese.
Currently Hawaii is crippled by corruption
Corruption is totally unknown in Japan, of course.
Great to see the tradition of the US Navy fucking Hawaii continue.
Proudly destroying paradise since 1908!!
Yeah, but see, if you “live” on the Island for any amount of time, you’re a ‘hawaiian”. So, the Nav guy that did this probably has been stationed there for awhile to be driving a truck. So, basically, it was done by a “hawaiian”. LmAo!
Especially if you come from Philadelphia…
Brawndo!
