Look at the height of the foam line on the two aircraft on the right and the one right at the back their engines are below or half way. mate
And here's the full picture Error 404 (Not Found)!!1
Not prank just a drill that went a bit further than they planned for :rolleyes

Quite a bit further...!
I think some poor bugger is going to get told "Here's a teaspoon, start digging!"

I wouldn't like to be in there when that goes off.And surely there must be some sort of major foc-off warning before it goes off - give you a chance to run for your life.But then its the USA - maybe not. :eek

Several people have died when they have been caught in the foam though as they panicked and got disorientated and ultimately forgot to clear the space in front of their faces

But it won't feed a fire?
And yeah it would be easy to panic in such a situation, and sometimes you'll never know until it happens - and then it could be too late.
I'm familiar with deluge systems. They stress to us the active firing system must be disabled before you enter a protected area (there is still limited passive ambient temperature protection). When it is on active, it will fire a whole zone of heads, and spray out absolute shit loads of water. It suppresses the oxygen in the enviroment, to the extent it would be a threat to your well being - you might not get out.

Probably the same sort of scenario with a car going underwater,it must take a lot of bottle to sit and wait for the car to fill up before trying to open the windows. :eek

My 7 year old nephew showed me with pride the "telephone" he had just made from a string and two tin cans. I pulled out my iPhone and said, "That's nice, but..."

Phrases that mean nothing will happen:
Leave it with me
I’ll have a word
I’ll see what I can find
Consider it done!
I’ll make some calls
I’ll think about it
Certainly a possibility
Let’s come back to that
Good idea
Maybe
It’s on my list
Might see you down there
I’ll look into it

the foam of yesteryear contained bulls blood, and I have been caught not only in foam system discharges but deluges as well, sometimes inspecting them working and sometimes not.

I thought it was the more modern foam that contained the blood as it is more environmentally friendly

My boss has made it quite clear to everyone that he hates the word "No".
So all of the above apply.
He started it. :lol
