I'd say it's the hand of god for all the masonic evil stuff on display for all to see at DIA (Denver International Airport) for evil that's done in Colo that goes unnoticed by the vast majority. It's a shame because it's so beautiful, Bear Creek, Look Out Mountain, Garden of the Gods, Black Hawk, It's a sad site to behold.

(yeah, but it can't be used) According to a statement, EvergreenAir is not using their 747 tanker to assist in containing disasters like the Colorado Fires due to flaws in US Forest Service (USFS) policies. Even though Evergreen's 747 Tanker is capable of dropping a 20,000 pound payload of fire retardant the USFS allowable upper limit for "tank size" is 5,000 pounds.

yeah, they talked about it on the local news, another reason is a 747 can't fly so close to the ground like a C-130.

The 747 holds 20500 gallons just checked on wilkipedia

[tnoyy34rt]

no, they used much larger planes, C-130's, filled with 16000 gallons of pink slurry. (foam/gels)

747 bomber 200 ft wide by a mile long

[jameswk4]

Wer was the 747 water bomber?

but that's illinois, there aren't massive pine trees infested with the rocky mountain beetle in that state. plus you don't have canons inaccessible by roads... so sure, a fire is simple to put out on flat, moisture rich land... but this is colorado, with very little rain, snow for six months because of climate change, no shade trees, then the RMB which has killed millions of 40-70 ft pine trees, also because of climate change. i realize you aren't up on science or technology, but give it a rest.
