Navy Blames Flipped Switch for 94,000-gallon Fuel Spill
Associated Press | 20 May 2017
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- The Navy has explained how it spilled 94,000 gallons of jet fuel around Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach: Officials say a switch was left in the wrong position overnight.
Local news outlets report that officials say the fuel was mistakenly routed on May 10 into a 2,000-gallon tank, instead of a tank that can hold 880,000 gallons. The much smaller tank overflowed, and the spill wasn't discovered until the next morning.
