Any word on how full of retardant it was at the time? Because a C-130 full of fuel in bushfire areas is a disaster waiting to happen.

I don't think we have any of those in a firefighting role anymore, my old man was RAAF said we had some for one season but they scrapped them due to costs. So that is probably a plane full of Americans who've gone down. The Peccadillo posted:Found it, crashed and obviously all dead Ah poo poo.

Most of our large firefighting aircraft and larger helicopters are from the usa, this one is operated by Coulson who have a few other C130s around the world. Which might get grounded til they find out how they crashed

The police minister is promosing the fire associated with the crash is under control. The crew who died was Canadian. No numbers of dead people from us, Canadian outlets might have that info

Two of the fires to the South have joined together today. There's now a burnt section that runs the entire way from the Southern Highlands near Sydney all the way to Bega in the South. That's a distance of 300km's for those palying at home.

I’m glad someone has done this, there’s nothing near me atm but one of the annoying things when seq was copping it was the fact that a big one hopped across the border near me and it was hard to keep track of it since the bulk of it wasn’t covered by the qld map and it would just cut off at the border and I’d have to switch maps to see how woodenbong was doing
