I'm a little surprised that of all the things Donald Trump knows nothing about....

.....it's the area of fire safety and prevention where he comes off sounding the most ignorant.

Maybe if Paris had raked the roof of Notre Dame, we wouldn't need the Flying Water Tankers, would we, Donald?

He is such a fucking moron.

“The drop of water by air on this type of building could indeed result in the collapse of the entire structure,” the agency said in French. “Alongside those ... who are currently doing the maximum to save #NotreDame.”

“Helicopter or airplane, the weight of the water and the intensity of the drop at low altitude could indeed weaken the structure of Notre-Dame and result in collateral damage to the buildings in the vicinity,” the agency added."

Experts said that the president’s proposal would likely make the situation more dangerous.

“If you hit that with tons of water from above, that’s going to collapse the entire structure and make the situation worse,” said Wayne McPartland, a retired New York City Fire Department battalion chief. “If you miss, you might hit civilians in the street.”

Tons of water or fire retardant being dropped on a brittle centuries old structure from an altitude would almost certainly level the entire building.
