So you think you're having a bad day....

This was an article in the CALIFORNIA EXAMINER, March 20, 1998:
Fire Authorities in California found a corpse in a burned-out section
of forest while assessing the damage done by a forest fire.
The deceased male was dressed in a full wet suit, complete with a dive
tank, fins, and mask. A post mortem examination revealed that the
person died not from burns but from massive internal injuries. Dental
records provided a positive identification.Investigators then set
about determining how a fully-clad diver ended up in the middle of a
forest fire. It was revealed that, on the day of the fire, the person
went for a diving trip off the coast-some 20miles away from the
forest. The firefighters, seeking to control the fire as quickly as
possible, called in a fleet of helicopters with very large
buckets.The buckets were dropped into the ocean for rapid filling,
then flown to the forest fire and emptied. You guessed it. One minute
our diver was making like Flipper in the Pacific, the next he was
doing a breaststroke in a fire bucket 300 feet in the air.
