Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

With the number of aircraft all flying in the area, considering the high winds and the smoke reducing visibility, as well as turbulence from the fires, it's a miracle that nothing has yet CFIT into the mountain or crashed into each other.
When larger tankers, anything bigger than Super Scoopers, get involved there are aircraft that act as forward air controllers. The Very Large Air Tankers(VLATs) like the DC-10 tankers have escort aircraft that lead them in and out of drops.
CH-53K is the most powerful helicopter and has a lift capacity of 36k lbs. 9,000 gallons of water would weigh 72k lbs. I don't think the 9,000 gallon figure is accurate.

Edit: damn y'all tarded. 9k lbs not gallons
While I'll admit to fucking up 36k pounds and 36 tons, my whole point was there aren't any helos dropping 9000 gallons at a time.
If the fire we are watching was the ONLY one it would still be terrifying and its the SMALLEST of 5 or 6 im genuinely losing track at this point
It was the smallest. In 2 hours it became the third largest.
Look how close this fucker in the dozer is, must be hot in there
That's what we call a direct attack. The really exciting part is it looks steep on camera which means it's fucking steep.
they are cutting this shit close
That looks about all the side slope that dozer can handle.
Kek. You're joking? 6%??
Who want to take bets that that's just where the fire has burned all the way down to beach with no where to go?

a meme to for you all.
 
Watching mayor Karen Bass just for body language and facial expressions, and... she is genuinely happy. This situation is making her happy.
There's gotta be some sort of payout about to happen, something that will fill her pockets.
Sick.
Because she cares about Africa. Not America.

She's happy for Africa even though she wouldn't live there if push came to shove.
 
Most red states are deficits for the Feds - gobbling up money paid for by other states. California puts into the Feds coffers far more than they take out and is a major contributor to federal dollars far beyond what they get given back.

If every state put in money like California, you wouldn’t even have a deficit.
Sure, if you factor in farm subsidies and military expenditures. Which is usually how this metric is used.

Now is not the time for this retarded canard, you cock-gargling mongoloid.

well also beyond that other states provide water food, and leadership decisions that dont end with some nigress piece of shit cackling while your citizens die. even if you grant the idea theyre more economically beneficial they only are so in a particular context of hosting often scam based and exploitative industries or worthless things like pedowood films that arent even making money anymore and that are detrimental to society while being propped up by everybody else. a bunch of retards handing you stacks of paper isnt the best measure for whether your state is worthwhile. you can cut out gay porno films disguised as entertainment and replace it you cant really replace your need to eat and drink and not be burned to death.
