Honolulu

A trial for a mass environmental injury case begins in Hawaii on Monday, more than two years after a U.S. military facility poisoned thousands of people when it leaked jet fuel into drinking water.

State health officials said samples from the Red Hill shaft contained petroleum levels 350 times the level considered safe. Some 3,000 military members and families were moved to temporary housing.

Investigators are sifting through the remains of seven homes burned to the ground Honolulu. Authorities say a man facing eviction stabbed his landlord, set a fire and fatally shot the two officers.

Under the new law, the only legal reason for a pedestrian to look at a cellphone while crossing a street would be to call 911. For repeat offenders, fines could run up to nearly $100.

The five people aboard the helicopter were brought to land and treated by paramedics.
