Molasses spill in Honolulu Harbor kills fish

[shian]

[quote](CNN) -- Fish are washing up dead in Hawaii after a molasses spill in Honolulu Harbor.
Their colorful bodies bobbed on top of the water, video from CNN affiliate KITV showed. Workers scooped them into nets.
"It seemed like they were trying to gasp for air," Sachi Uehara, a resident, told KITV. "There were, I would say, over 50 eels that were up at the surface that we could see."
The Hawaii State Department of Health released a statement Tuesday warning people not to eat the fish and to stay out of the ocean if they see a brown color in the water.
A leak in a molasses pipeline could have caused as much as 1,400 tons, or about 233,000 gallons of the sticky stuff, to spill, the DOH said, citing representatives from Matson Navigation Company.[/quote]

Yup, I live on Oahu and this was all over local news. I'm on the opposite side of the island, otherwise I would go and take some pictures myself. Pretty horrifying seeing all those dead sea creatures.
