Leaking fire retardant creates foam sea

[Still Waters]

Fluffy white foam filled a Santa Clara street Friday when a fire-suppression system at a privately-owned hangar at San Jose International Airport malfunctioned.

The substance, known formally as “aqueous film-forming foam,” started flowing around 10:50 a.m. at Signature Flight Support on Martin Avenue, said Capt. Mitch Matlow of the San Jose Fire Department. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the system to fail.

Probably the closest Santa Clara comes to snow.

Yeah. Only Russians and Americans are crazy enough for such stupid feats.

P.S: Heck, they have green trees and still walking in t-shirts, while we have had -35C for two weeks! Thankfully, it's getting warmer now, and it's only -15C outside but with a nasty chilling wind...
