What are they NOT telling us if the Russians offer to help us? Has any other country offered us help before with our disasters?
Diane Friday, May 12, 2000 Russians Offer Water Bombers The Associated Press MOSCOW - Two giant Il-76 jet airplanes capable of dumping 44 tons of water are standing by to help fight a fire in the Los Alamos area if needed, Russian officials said Friday. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations said it had received an official request from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency for the airplanes, but was awaiting confirmation before ordering the long flight to the United States. The airplanes were "ready to take off at any minute," said ministry official Alexander Zalyotov. The four-engine Il-76MDP can water-bomb an area 500 yards by 100 yards or drop 40 fully equipped firefighters by parachute, according to the reference book Jane's All The World's Aircraft. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
