FIRE Video

scarey......hope that gets a handle on it

Thanks for posting these! You always get to see this kind of stuff on the news but you rarely get to see raw footage!

This is insane. We can get to the moon (apparently), people can fly planes into buildings, and we can dive to the bottom of the discoverer trench.

HOWEVER - The best way to deal with a fire is to get a helicopter with a thimble of water to drop it on it? Surely there is better ways?

I will post another video that shows that most of the work was done by men and a bull dozer. The helicopter came in late and was dropping water on the bull dozer. Amazingly lucky, there was a un frozen pond just 2000 yards away to get water from in FN Janurary. Remeber the wind was howling so the helicopter pilot did a hell of a job
