He tweeted about the fire at the Cathedral of Norte Dame asking "why don't they do an air drop of water like they do with forest fire"? No! For one, it would cave the dome(which it has fallen) in and two, it is a small target unlike the forest openness! Rather sending prayers, Trump has be part of the story.

How nice, too, that the "expert-in-all-things" tried to tell the French how to fight the fire - i.e. they should be dropping water from helicopters. In the meantime, it had already been determined that would cause the structure to collapse, according to CNN report. Maybe Donnie needs to learn to keep his mouth shut and let the professionals do their jobs without his critique.

(115,869 posts)And "not" is almost always the case. But think about it, Spanky: What do you think would happen if a large amount of water were suddenly dropped from the air onto a stone building whose walls are already hot from a fire? Hmmm? Like, the whole damn thing cracks and collapses, maybe? Ya think maybe the actual experts might say there are really good reasons not to use air tankers in urban structure fires?

He also said the spire was 300' off the ground and the tallest tower ladder is 100'.

(7,968 posts)Folks have posted his interview(s) on 9/11 the past couple of days and he refuses to learn and grow as a human being. I have never witnessed anyone like him in position of power in my life. When is he going to blame Hillary or PBO?
