    I know this isn’t particularly novel or news to anyone here, but god, these people are so fucking stupid. Wind going 60-100 mph and they think a straight white man is going to put the fire out with his cock?? There’s video of one of the tanker planes trying to dump water on the fire and the wind is so strong it fucking floats there. What are you going to do against that?

      Blame immigrants, duh. With their magical powers of being both useless and a grave threat, taking all the jobs and all the jobless benefits, a little water repelling/levitation/bending is nothing.

      Do you have a link to that video of the tanker dropping water? I haven’t come across that and am having trouble finding it.

        The fire fighting plane is the Canadair CL-415 (Super Scooper) – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-415

          Thanks for this. However,this isnt the scenario described where the water “floated“. I’m imagining that the wind was so fierce that the water was disappated so fast it didnt make it to the ground in a significant manner.

          This isn’t it, but we can imagine that the wind was a factor for this total miss…
