FWIW, judging from results so far, I’m not sure the bureaucrats know WTH they are doing. But when was the last time you saw state officials refuse to bigfoot a situation like this? Not camera hog at every last press event and make themselves available for stand-ups 24/7? Where are they, hiding under their beds?
A big Cat 966 loader had a bag on the forks that I'm assuming was destined for one of the choppers, and it didn't look much bigger than a cubic yard, if that.
If so, they're gonna need a whole buncha chopper sorties before this day's over . . .
