But but but, they’re using “military grade” helicopters!
Since that phrasing was used, I’m sure everything will be Alright.
A while back I read Paul Johnson’s “The Johnstown Flood,” which describes the 1889 flood caused by the failure of an earthen dam after many days of heavy rain. Like the Oroville Dam, it had shown signs of erosion and cracks for several months, but the engineer who urged that it be repaired was ignored. The water roared down a narrow gorge for 15 miles and and wiped out several towns along the way. It reached Johnstown in the late afternoon, and people who saw it coming said they couldn’t see any water. All they could see was a 23’-high rolling wall of trees, railroad cars, buildings, dead animals, and other debris. I’ll never forget that description.
Unfortunately, the writer is "weapons grade" stupid.
