DC-10 Drops Fire Retardant on California Wildfires

November 15, 2008

As you all probably know, California is having a major problem with wildfires in the last couple of days. In regard to that, I just watched a short video of a DC-10 dropping down some fire retardant on the affected area. Apparently these planes have the capacity to hold 12,000 gallons of this fire retardant stuff, although it doesn’t seem to me that all 12,000 gallons are dropped in this video. You’ve got to check it out; it’s crazy.
