Deploying water drops from the air 'could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral,' officials said.

As media outlets in France started featuring the tweet in their broadcasts, French officials took the unusual step of rebuffing the point in English on Twitter, pointing out that the force of water dropped from an aircraft could end up being the cause of the cathedral's destruction.

"All means are being used, except for water-bombing aircrafts which, if used, could lead to the collapse of the entire structure of the cathedral," France's Civil Security and Crisis Management tweeted. In fact, the French tweeted four times to address the idea of fighting the flames from the air, which they said could cause more damage than the flames.

"All means are committed with the exception of Canadair aircraft technically unsuitable for extinguishing this type of fire," the agency"The air drop on this type of building could lead to the collapse of the entire structure," the agency followed up inIn a third tweet, the agency explained why the airdrops could be counterproductive to their efforts to save the cathedral.

"Helicopter or airplane, the weight of the water the intensity of the drop at low altitude could indeed weaken the structure of Notre-Dame and cause collateral damage to the surrounding buildings,"

“Must act quickly.” Thanks captain fucking obvious.

everything this idiot says is really a bad idea!

I think most people on the planet would've known that would be a bad idea 🤔

Then burn problem solved

This is ridiculously petty, as are most of your stories. As I stood around watching the Notre Dame fire, with about 15 people, every single person said the same thing as Trump. Most people, not even the 16 year old aspiring journalist at BuzzFeed, considered the consequences.

Sees Backdraft once. Ive got the best idea ever.

Anyone w half a brain would realize this would be adding one disaster literally onto another. What a jerk.

Trump also mentioned to sweep the floor.

Jesus you guys have to bring politics into everything. It sounds like he was just trying to come up with a solution. If it's not a good idea then fine, dismiss it and move on. I understand those who justifiably disagree with trump but the man farts and you post something about it

Wait - are you suggesting that one of the president’s idea was very, very stupid? Pearls. Clutched.

Surprised he did not offer to pee on it since he has such a big one

Trump has an opinion on everything, he can't help himself.

Paris please ignore the idiot that currently occupies the white house.

That’s nothing; Elon Musk wanted to send in a small child in a tube

Donald Trump suggests using 'flying water tankers' to put out Notre Dame firePresident Donald Trump called the Notre Dame fire 'horrible to watch' and said in a tweet: 'Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out.' THANK GOD TRUMP HAS ALL THE ANSWERS 😂😭 Yeah most flying water tankers drop their entire payload at once, that much water falling in one heavy mass would be a bad idea. If there were versions that could spray more gradually it could work, but I don't think any exist. Every proposal Trump has is impractical.

What George Washington means to Donald TrumpMichael D'Antonio writes that President Donald Trump's visit to Mount Vernon shows his complete disregard for American history and past presidents, making him likely to repeat the failures of those who came before him.

Or the United States of Trump? Opinion George Washington would be aghast at the behavior of the current holder of the highest office in this Land.
