I’m going to guess Pele is angry, and it’s the haoles fault.

Blame the Japs for sinking all those ships and blowing up
the on shore storage tanks loaded with bunker fuel and other fuels.

Thankfully, they missed a lot of the fuel storage facilities.

Should the USS Arizona be raised? It ‘s still leaking I last remembered.

BTW I think the Saudis should pay for the rebuilding of the twin towers. Exactly the way it was. Move the UN there along with Rickers Island inmates. Exercise gets gone with 100 flight climbs up and down the stairs. Still a good target.

"It ‘s still leaking I last remembered."

Yeah, but that is leaking into salt water, not fresh underground aquifer water. Might be a concern to fish, but not humans.

The Japanese missed hitting any on shore fuel storage tanks completely as if they had it would have delayed the start of retaking the Pacific for a couple of years..

Weird in any case, because I clicked on this thread just as this song came on in the background:

WTF does this have to do with the story?

Is it: it’s about oil leaking into water and I, like most Americans, know that the Arizona still leaks oil, so (derp) same same. Then: oil is drilled in KSA, and most of the 9-11 hijackers were Saudis so (derp) same same?

And then some incoherence about rebuilding the towers exactly where they stood, even though it’s now a memorial and the Freedom Tower is already there? What is that about?

And then exercise from stairs at Rickers (sic) Island? I can’t even.

I really need to know the logic behind this post. Please tell me you are in your eighties or under some kind of medication. Or - are you Joe Biden?

Otherwise one might ascertain that this forum is inhabited by retards.

When our LST was on deployment in the Me Cong Delta the evaporator picked up the stuff we pumped out of the bilges. The partial pressure of water was close enough to that of Diesel and lube oil that we lived with the taste and smell for months. That is when I switched from tea to coffee. It was strong and bitter enough to cover the taste and just as oily.

That’s what I was thinking, isn’t the Arizona still leaking even after all these years?

It happened on Biden’s watch...and he calls himself an environmentalist.
Somehow, I have the feeling some news turd will try to make a case that it is Trump’s fault.

and blowing up the on shore storage tanks loaded with bunker fuel and other fuels.

That is precisely what they didn't do and why Nagumo was criticized for not sending a third wave to do precisely that.

Partner, you got that right!

I do not know the final count but there were hundreds of ships that went down the ocean depths caused by the Germans and Japanese in WWII.

The MSM is already in the dumps by their lies and half truths that they can't get any lower than they already are right now!!!.

The USS Arizona has leaked since that fateful day. You can see the oil slick when looking down at the water when standing at the Arizona Memorial.

Thanks for the history, I was going by the numerous fires I saw in pictures. I don’t remember much of that day as I only 4 1/2 years old!
Yes the USS Arizona has a rainbow on the water above its grave. May her crew rest in peace!

They’re lucky (maybe):

I know people whose health was irreparably harmed by contaminated water that didn’t have an odor or sheen (the damage took years).
