CNN —Visitors to a beach resort city in southwest Japan got a shock on Tuesday when they woke to discover the usually crystal-clear sea had turned an ominous shade of red – after a local brewery sprung a leak. We believe the leaked cooling water flowed into a river through a rain gutter, causing the sea to turn red,” Orion Breweries said. The red seawater is thought to have been caused by a coolant leak at the brewery. News of the red seawater amused some social media users but left others questioning if the water was safe. One Twitter user said crowds of people had gathered to look at the red sea.
