HAMILTON, Bermuda (AP) - Bermuda is investigating why two containers filled with asbestos and radioactive material were accidentally shipped to New Jersey, a government official said Friday.
U.S. authorities sent back the items when they realized what they were, said Robert Horton, permanent secretary to the Ministry of Works and Engineering. He said he did not know when the materials were shipped or intercepted, but added that the containers had not arrived back in Bermuda as of late Friday.
The mix-up occurred while workers demolished a former Club Med site in the island's eastern region that has been abandoned for more than 20 years, he said.
