Thousands of families in Hawaii are fighting for compensation from the U.S. Navy for what they call a poisoning of their water.
Many families have moved on with their lives, but the Merancios, particularly their 11-year-old daughter, have suffered devastating health problems.
Some military families have worried there may have been other contamination in their water that was never identified, and suspect the fuel contamination began months before the November fuel spill at Red Hill.
Documents obtained by a Hawaii media outlet show that the fuel facility's main fire suppression system was not fully operational, which may have prevented contamination.
