Another Spill Goes Down the Drain. Or Did it?

Although ABC 7's Cheryl Jennings -- who we find kicky and whimsical -- told us that a cleaning solvent spilled into the bay this morning, we're getting conflicting reports as to whether or not the spill actually hit precious, precious SF waters.

See, after a blaze at an Oakland warehouse today, it was originally reported that "an unknown amount of chemical -- possibly isopropyl alcohol -- may have spilled into a drainage system that connected directly" into the Bay. But according to CBS 5, a Coast Guard investigation "determined that ... [the] chemical spill did not leak into the San Francisco Bay."

Crisis averted. We hope. We know how touchy the Coast Guard is with revealing too much info at once.
