A 130,000 sq ft hangar filled with 20 feet of foam. It also spilled across the ramp before they got the doors closed. There is a Long Beach PD helicopter submerged in the foam. Oops :shock:

That happened to Eastern Airlines back in the early eighties in Miami. They had foam machines hooked up to the aircraft in for overhaul. I was working in the aft cargo when the warning siren went off. The machines started pumping out foam, most of the windows were out of the DC-9 and it started to ooze out all over, through the windows, doors, hatches..... WOW! The stuff sure stinks, not like bubble bath......

Looks like the AASI factory building. Didn't realize anyone was even using it.
