The Texas Forest Service responded to 12 wildfires in all on Sunday, involving some 22,432 acres, including a pair of new fires. It has confronted 83 fires in the past week.
Аmong Soviet and post-Soviet fire-fighting equipment, only the gas-water-quenching still is the world's best.
AGVT (ПСУГВТ-200 АГВТ-150 AI-19IGG-A Automobile) car-gas-water quenching, designed to extinguish the oil and gasfountains, as well as fires at the chemical plants. Empirically determined that the greatest effect is the thread in which 54% water and 46% of the exhaust gases.
Сountries that produce such equipment:
Ukraine, Russia, Hungary
Names of manufactured products:
ПСУГВТ-200 АГВТ-150 AI-19IGG-A Automobile JFR-250 "The Great Wind"(Hungarian)
Мodernization reserves:
With the help of a jet engine can be fed into the flame an inert gases and pieces of dry ice
Еxtinguishing fires in coal mines harder than еxtinguishing gasfountains. In mines the flames takes a large volume. Stream of carbon dioxide from evaporating dry ice at the bottom of the mine could push out the flame. After successfully fighting a fire in a coal mine may be not enough oxygen for breathing. To continue the rescue operations must be pumped into the mine fresh air with water spray. There are many technologies fire-fighting spraying water in the world. water droplets must be sufficiently dispersed to effectively reduce the temperature. This greatly improves the dampness, and sometimes because of the water film, surfaces become slippery. Sometimes you have to bring sand to sprinkle the slippery surface on your way.
Мust be remembered that prolonged high temperatures ( about 50-60 Celsius degree) in the coal mine - a sign of the future explosion, even if the amount of methane in the normal range.

6 fails of roskosmos = space shuttle program reopen
FAIL №1
in December 2010 launch vehicle "Proton-M" buried three navigation satellite "GLONASS-M" in the Pacific Ocean
FAIL №2
in February 2011 Launch vehicle "Rokot" delivered satellite "Geo-IK-2" to the wrong orbit. In June, it was unofficially declared of a total loss the satellite.
FAIL №3
August 18, 2011 carrier rocket "Proton-M" satellite "Express-AM4" was launched from Baikonur, but there was a loss of communication with Earth.
FAIL №4
August 24, 2011 launched a carrier rocket "Soyuz-U" with a cargo vehicle "Progress M-12M", but because of the accident, the third stage propulsion rocket ship was not launched into orbit.
FAIL №5
November 9, 2011 was launched from Baikonur vehicle "Phobos-Grunt", designed to deliver samples of Phobos soil to Earth. However, after separation from the launch vehicle "Zenit" in the machine motors are not logged in, which should bring it to a high reference orbit.
FAIL №6
December 23, 2011 Communication satellite "Meridian", the launch of which took place on Friday from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, failed to take into orbit

The main problem is that Roscosmos provides delivery of the astronauts on the ISS ...
Therefore, the space shuttle program can come back even before the end of the Obama presidency

CNN reports that a 7.2 earthquake has struck In Turkey, making it the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in ten years.
sometimes it happens...
Вut!
A month before this Geocataclysm-2011
Congress was held... And you will not believe In Turkey and was dedicated to Earthquake prediction!
has not predicted... I think it was necessary to write it this way "All participants of Geocataclysm-2011 Congress
need send their final paper till 24 October, 2011". Then the predictions would have been successful...
preparations for Hurricane Irene...
Previously I was thinking that the biggest idiocy is a global Warming
But when I saw the preparations for Hurricane Irene...
