Santa Clara’s street taken over by a giant blob

Author: app/afp

SAN FRANCISCO: A street in Santa Clara, California, provided hours of entertainment for bystanders as a giant moving foam blob filled the street due to a fire-suppression system in an airport hangar malfunctioned.

“It looks like a huge foam party gone bad,” a witness told ABC affiliate KGO television.

According to the outlet, the foam was at least 10 feet (three meters) tall as it spilled out of the building – a new private jet hangar at San Jose airport – and filled the equivalent of an entire city block.

One man biked through the large blob, emerging covered in the white foam. “It feels and smells just like soap,” the man said.

The San Jose Fire Department said that the foam – a fire retardant used to put out flames – oozed out due to an alarm malfunction.
