Well, well, well now folks- - - what we have here is a fire sprinkler test at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota . The "plan" was to deploy the system for just a "short burst" to insure its operational capabilities and then "clean up" the minimal spill. For those of you who are NOT familiar with defense department fire fighting systems- - - this is a AFFF (Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam ) system that produces foam to smother fires.Seemingly they experienced some sort of major anomaly wherein once the system was "lit off"- - - the capability to shut her down "left the building", as the old saying goes! What then happens is your worst nightmare. Open the power point show attached and "enjoy". I'm imagining that somebody got reamed out for this!!--------

This is the pulley beam that personnel attach harnesses to when they are on TOP of the aircraft! Also notice where the tail door is in relation to the foam
