Harbor molasses spill prompts nature cleanup effort
Hawaii health officials report 1400 tons of molasses spilled into Honolulu Harbor with about 2000 dead fish collected so far. Experts say high sugar concentration reduces oxygen, harming marine life as Matson Navigation accepts responsibility and fixes a leaking pipe. Authorities monitor ongoing environmental impact and await further results.

Fire Rips Seaside Park Jersey Boardwalk Amid Storm Blues
A massive five-alarm fire devastated the Seaside Park boardwalk and threatened Seaside Heights, burning 32 businesses on the Seaside Park portion and damaging others nearby. Firefighters battled 15 to 20 mph winds as storms passed north, with crews racing to contain the blaze and shore up the tourist district. No serious injuries reported. The effort followed rapid boardwalk repairs after Superstorm Sandy and a nearby royal visit.
