I feel like those 787 ones should be overlaid with some raver music and a laser show.

I have a feeling that anything used to put out a jet fuel fire is probably hyper-cancer and should be avoided like, well, hyper cancer.

Also don't play in foam that is designed to sequester oxygen.

Last week someone set off the foam in a hangar at Heathrow, right after BA announced how it was going to gently caress over its staff.

Especially now that we're slowly converting over to all electric.

foam parties seem fun but also seem like a great way to accidentally drown.

So what happens if you happen to be in the middle of the gigantic aircraft hanger and can't get to safety fast enough while millions of gallons of expanding foam rains down around you and piles up higher than the aircraft. Just die I guess?

I'm not an OHSA person but I suspect that it's a damage/injury mitigation thing where fewer injuries / deaths is ultimately better than more. Like, if some poor bastard maintainer is down there when the airplane bukake starts they might be hosed. But if a hanger full of airplanes starts burning you could have way more people in the building die from the fire, plus whatever happens with the people who have to try and put it out. It doesn't take much imagination to come up with a scenario where a dozen of people are working in the hanger, some of them inside the aircraft, and a fire starts and a good number of them can't get out in time. Kind of a foamy version of the trolley problem. Still, probably best from a purely OSHA standpoint to not pull the "oh gently caress fire" handle if there isn't a fire going.

 says it’s cheaper to pay out a couple wrongful death suits than replace a hanger full of multi million dollar planes along with taking the hit in missed fares.

It doesn't pile up *that* fast. As long as you don't stand around taking videos of it you should have plenty of time to wade out.

I can actually answer this, having been in a Navy hangar where the suppression systems got activated by accident/"accident". It's just foam. Run/wade through it. Rinse yourself off once you're out. Don't eat any.

Depends on the machinery and depends on where it gets. The foam is just liquid, so it mostly wants to go down, and that's usually pretty okay. It's not really any worse than a plane being out in the rain for a little bit - it's designed to fly through clouds and such, so it's not THAT big of a deal. However, it also piles up, because it's foam and foam go up. If it happens to gets anywhere that water shouldn't be getting by virtue of "foam go up", well...

Firefighting foam is going to act like water because it's mostly water with some other fun (and thanks thread, incredibly cancerous too) chemicals. It's going to seek the lowest point, ie, any drains you have in the hangar for any myriad of reasons. But as others have said, basically anybody who gets suffocated by the foam/dies of hyper-cancer is still way less 'spensive than having to replace hangar full of burned out commercial airplanes. In some idiotic reports, I recently learned that my stepfather, who just two years ago almost stepped off this mortal coil due to a clotting disorder, is trying again. This time, he's been running around on his property with a lovely electric saw, falls trees that are way bigger than anything he should be tackling. He told me he felled a twenty inch tree with a slash cut and then showed me a video of him doing this. Slash cut, stand there and watch the tree fall, and then dinner time bragging about what a good sawyer he is. Zero eye protection, zero hard hat, zero proper footwear (he was wearing loving krocs), zero gloves, and zero idea of what the hell is doing. Dude is going to get horribly maimed once his expanding ego meets a tree that's well beyond his skills, but don't listen to me. After all, three years falling far larger and far more difficult dead trees is not what counts as experience in his idiot boomer head.
