Con Ed oil spill
Cleanup is underway in the East River after a Con Edison transformer in Brooklyn ruptured, spilling an unknown amount of oil into the water. The transformer was holding up to 37,000 gallons of insulating oil. The oil didn't spill directly into the river, but rather into the ground at the substation, through which it seeped into the water.
