I think I found out the reason everybody is going so crazy over this - a controversial figure from the wrong tribe apparently mentioned flying water tankers. Thus even neutral debate over the subject is wrongthink and has to be extinguished.

Why don't you step back for a moment and just admit that given the premises

-Firefighting airplanes can effectively spray in a way that doesn't harm trees

-Buildings are fine in extended substantial downpours

That it must follow

-Spraying a building with a plane in such a configuration would not collapse it

Otherwise you are the clueless one. This is absurd. At least you downvoters (who are ignoring the site guidelines) are letting me see some aesthetically pleasing upvote configurations again when it goes back up, so I appreciate it.
