LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Firefighters are still trying to figure out what caused a gas leak that prompted a ship to be evacuated at the Port of Los Angeles.
The incident began Friday afternoon in the 700 block of East New Dock Street at Henry Ford Avenue. Fire officials said an unknown gas was leaking from a large container in the cargo ship.
Fire crews unloaded several containers one by one before stopping the spill. Officials still don't know what kind of gas was leaking. The ship was leaving Los Angeles when the leak was reported. Officials have not said what kind of cargo the ship is carrying.

Were they serving burritos on the ship?
My guess is the most dangerous gas on the planet - carbon dioxide.

Is there no manifest? How could they really not know what kind of gas it was? Who were they hauling it for, couldn’t they say what kind it was?
weird.
I’m thinking maybe it’s just bad reporting?
Or it could be deliberate silence, in case terrorists tried to sneak something almost dangerous in to see if they could just ship gas weapons here.
Let me guess. The leak was caused by a hole in the gas container?
