https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=199266
A CL-415 amphibious aircraft sustained damage during a water takeoff.
Two CL-415 were lifting off the surface of a lake when one of the aircraft contacted a mast of a barge with the left hand wing, according to a video posted on YouTube.
The aircraft reportedly returned to land.
For the lieutenant colonel Bernier from the Office Manager communication of the direction of the Sécurité Civile : " The wing of the Fire-fighting plane is damaged, it will be unavailable for several weeks, there were projections on two barges, fortunately without making of wounded person.
They are experimented and confirmed pilots who knew well the stretch of water. They managed to fly up to the base of Nîmes. The pilot and the co-pilot are shocked, they were suspended as a protective measure and are going to be examined by a specialized doctor who has to make sure that they are in capacity to re-fly. "

Boeing 747 High Altitude Water Drop
Because the Supertanker uses a pressurized dump system it can drop water from 400 to 800 ft as opposed to other water bombers which use gravity to drop the water and must be around 200ft. This video, though, is probably just a test of the system itself, so is flying much higher.

It's hard to imagine how dropping the water from what looks like a very high altitude would do anything useful, as by the time the water reached the ground it'd be dispersed over an extremely large area.
>> ^Skeeve:
Yep, it's an Evergreen 747 Supertanker, the largest aerial firefighter.

Is this a firefighter or what's going on. Anyone know?
I think My house is burning down!!! (Wtf Talk Post)
Update: Got to bed at 1AM, Up at 5AM. Can't get anywhere near the area, Everything is in Lockdown to protect from looters. Can't see how far the fire made it over night. They are reporting 400 Hec. (?) Water bombers are supposed to start again by 7AM. I hpe they hit it hard so we can go home (thinking positively). Thanks for you wishes... lol, haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday...
...Just got back from Evac centre. No news to be had. Starting to see helecopters in the sky, no planes dropping water yet. Grabed a sandwich and a bottle of water at the evac center. Tried to get close enough to see something but no luck, too many road blocks....
Plane Dumping....Something
It is a water bomber/tanker for fighting fires, the promo was just shot at this altitude since flying low is very dangerous to do just for some stock footage.
