The Foam That Ate Ellsworth Air Base
Posted by Dorkafork The day started simply enough, with what was supposed to be a routine test of the foam firefighting equipment in a hangar. But things went horribly wrong when, in a cross between Christine and an episode of The Brady Bunch, the system malfunctioned and the foam refused to stop. What could make an innocent firefighting system go from this:
More and bigger photos at Strategy Page and The Cellar Image of the Day, including photos (yes it gets better) of what happened after they opened the hangar doors. Not in the pictures: The crusty base commander who happened to be right in front of the doors when they opened and later put the unit on double secret probation.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at April 13, 2006 05:13 AM I saw those pictures. The foam shooting out of the manholes is funny. Posted by: JohnAnnArbor at April 13, 2006 11:00 AM It's going down, not shooting up. Maytag 1, Air Force, 0! Posted by: Tim in PA at April 14, 2006 10:02 PM The test went the way it was designed. The system ran for 4 minutes as designed and tit worked better than anyone thought it would Posted by: Jon at April 15, 2006 11:58 PM Forgot to post the link to a story about the test. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123019117 Posted by: Jon at April 15, 2006 11:59 PM ionolsen21 Best site I see.
