A 1" pipe at 40 psi has a flow rate of about 2,200 gph.

Burn down 250 houses, opening those 250 1" pipes to empty into the ground, and you have a flow rate of 550,000 gph, which will empty a million gallon tank in an hour and 48 minutes without anyone even opening a hydrant. The water stored in those million gallon tanks was intended for domestic use, and had the capacity to extinguish an occasional individual structural fire. It was not expected or designed to provide enough water to extinguish thousands of structural fires at the same time.

Broken Cuck,
Did you listen to the video? I did three times.
That only means you couldn't figure out the truth even after watching it over and over again.

No public water infrastructure system in the country is built to combat a fire of this broad of a scale across the city.

Heywood already went over the math with you, so I won't repeat what he said.

And unlike you, Musk can do math, so he knows when to back off on the Bullshishka.

Good for him. Bad news for you.

Darn the bad news, cucks!

Gazprom, Russia's energy giant, is discussing a 40% cut to its HQ staff as the war keeps Moscow cut off from Western customers (Business Insider)

Go figure. After 23 years of consistent profitability, Gazprom posted its first loss and now has to lay off managers, whose collective wages totaled around $500M/year.

Of course, the deputy chairperson believes Gazprom can make up for the layoffs via "automation and digitalization," which is what upper managers ALWAYS claim whenever they lay people off.

No word yet on what new jobs the laid-off employees will take, but I hear there is demand for "loss prevention associates" in the Kursk region ...
