Crap, this is a lot foam to clean up.

This was supposed to be a test of a foam firefighting system in an air force hangar. The plan was to turn it on for a few seconds, to make sure it's got pressure and everything… then after 15 seconds you can see foam is covering all areas it has to, so the test is successful.

Then the plan was to shut it off.

But as you can see that didn’t happen. Whatever was meant to shut off the system after 15 seconds, did NOT shut it off and the foam continued to flow. Click here to see more pictures.

Actually, no. The test was done that way on purpose. See the article at http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123019117

The purpose/motive of this post is the 'shock' factor these pictures illustrate. Who cares if was intentional or not, regardless it's not everyday you see an entire airplane hangar full of foam... which is cool.
