Default Air Force Accidentally Fills Entire Hangar with Foam

Source



Here's why the Air Force is the best: not only do you get to fly awesome drones, every once in a while your superiors say Oh, fine, we'll throw another foam party, and the jets are doused in fire suppressant.



But wait, this was no rave. It was just a huge annoying accident at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, where a welder accidentally triggered the emergency fire systems, releasing a galactic ****-ton of foam retardant. It's sort of cute to see a little A-10 poking its head out of a bubble bath, but then you see that the foam spilled out of the hangar and try to wrap your head around what this must have been like to clean up.

Hey, at least they know that the fire retardant systems are working properly...







I refuse to make any references to jizm from here on in.

No trouble clearing that up. Take one fire hose and one welder, tell him "you're done when this is rinsed out" and go grab lunch.

What happens in the foam, stays in the foam!

lol, this wouldn't surprise me if it didn't already happen, or get added to the AF budget in case this occurs again.
