Subject: An unexpected hazard for divers

  There is a sort of big aeroplane called a `water bomber', which can fly at
zero height over lakes or the sea and scoop up a lot of water (plus whatever
is in the water) through a belly scoop opening, and then dump all this water
out on a forest fire or etc. I heard that once when a water-bomber plane was
used, a dead snorkeller was found in the remains of the fire afterwards.
