| Description: | French firefighters came up with the latest thing in fire fighting garb. Well it may look like a suit of mid-evil amour it's actually made of aluminum foil three thousands of an inch thick. The crew plunges into a flaming plane whose heat approaches 3,000 degrees. An anxious crowd watches the outcome as they emerge unharmed. Their aluminum suites and protective undergarments reflected 95% of the intense heat. The firefighters come out cool as cucumbers. CUS - The French firefighters putting on their aluminum fire protective suits. CUS - Of the aluminum suites head gear. MCUS - The firefighters walking into the flaming plane. CUS - Crowd of people watching in almost disbelief. MCUS - The firefighters accomplished their job in the burning plane. | |
