Pay attention to this, my friends, for this is the way government makes life-or-death decisions. The rules said no aircraft fighting fires after 30 minutes before sundown. The rules are followed, people die and hundreds of homes are lost.

Once again, that line - "Those who can, do; those who can't, get a job in government" - comes to mind.

The helicopter pilot should have told them "Up yours" and doused the fire anyway. It's scary when people in our society follow the rules that they know to be destructive.
