Feds. Need To Re-Think Killing The 747 Super Tanker

 
You have to scratch your head in amazement as to why the feds KILLED this project. Is it possible they did not want their budgets impacted by the effectiveness of this amazing tool? When you watch this Evergreen promo video notice the one item missed by them, firefighter safety! Maybe because it's obvious to them. I wonder if the decision makers who told Evergreen NO THANKS considered firefighter deaths and injuries in their equations.
This tool would save lives and it's a shame the project was shut down.



Thank God the CDF, Cal Fire saw the light and signed the DC-10 SuperTanker
