Damn shame that these types of things continue to happen.(11-09) 14:09 PST San Francisco - -- As oil contaminated more beaches and birds throughout the Bay Area, Coast Guard officials admitted today that they had taken too long to notify the public about the skyrocketing size of the ship-fuel spill but defended their response to the mess.
The admission was driven home by an examination of the federal agency's log of events Wednesday when the container ship Cosco Busan struck the base of a Bay Bridge tower. That log, which The Chronicle obtained today, showed that guard investigators realized at 4:49 p.m. Wednesday that a 58,000 gallons of heavy-duty bunker fuel oil had spilled into the bay - not 140 gallons, as they had reported all day. But the Coast Guard did not say anything publicly until 9 p.m.
