    Reports of a large air tanker crash in NSW

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    ABC TV news say local crews reported they saw it crash and likely all on board lost!

    Nothing confirmed

    What are you jibbering on about. Its a fire tanker doing exactly what it was converted to do. How do you know it was operating out of its scope? No one knows what happened yet.

    no.
    vlat is not meant to be used tactically.
    its meant to be used for strategic retardant lines.

    Tragic situation. Apparently fire crews saw it go down and do not expect survivors.

    Meanwhile a fire near the Canberra Airport is out of control and has burned into an industrial estate, where toxic fumes are being released from a burning industrial recycling plant. Several government departments, including Home Affairs, are near the airport, as I saw when last in Canberra

    Now 80 fires in NSW, fanned by high winds. It just keeps getting worse.
