Brand på USS Bonhomme Richard påsat

Den militære anklagemyndighed i USA har tiltalt en marinesoldat for at have påsat en brand om bord på helikopterhangarskibet USS Bonhomme Richard. Branden brød ud mens skibet lå på en flådebase i San Diego den 12. juli sidste år.

Skibet brød i brand efter en mindre eksplosion under dæk om morgenen den 12. juli i år, under et vedligeholdelsesarbejde. Ingen kom alvorligt til skade ved eksplosionen, men 17 søfolk og fire civile blev bragt på hospitalet med mindre skader. Yderligere 40 blev senere kvæstet i forbindelse med slukningsarbejdet.

Branden rasede i fire dage og endte med at anrette så stor skade, at det 3 milliarder dollars dyre hangarskib måtte skrottes.

Anklagemyndigheden ønsker på nuværende tidspunkt ikke at oplyse den tiltaltes navn eller stilling, ud over at bekræfte at den tiltalte indgik i skibets besætning.
