The article reports that 48 million gallons of sewage spill have sullied the already muddy waters of the Ala Wai canal in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. The situation caused fear among locals and tourists and their fears further aggravated when a mortgage loan officer, Oliver Johnson, died from a flesh-eating bacterial infection he contracted after falling into the harbor days after the spill. However on the face of it, water quality sampling in the area revealed that bacteria levels never remained high for very long, and the water flowing out of the Ala Wai was flushed straight out to sea. |
