The island of USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) as viewed from an MH-60 that was dumping water to assist the firefighters battling the now day old fire. July 13th, 2020
I’m pretty sure the local SD News (Ch10) quoted there’s a million gallons of ship fuel on board that they are trying keep from catching fire right now. They also mentioned the ship was beginning to list to one side. :-/
It smelled like absolute chemical shit all over San Diego today. Ever smelled a navy ship? On a normal day it smells of heavy paint and oil and grease.... Imagine that burning for over 24 hrs and hanging heavy in the air. It smelled for miles all up and down the coast
