I am not a pilot, but I have been a hazmat tech/fire fighter/paramedic.
And let me tell you, between CO2 foam, water, and any of the other things
they could use to keep a building from going up in that sort of
situation, I would be very surprised if even the equipment would stay on
much less talk to other pieces of equipment.
I can't say I have tried running a Cisco 7513 from the bottom of a pool,
but I don't think it is rated for an operational 100% humidity. :)
I know it was a joke, but thought I'd throw my $0.02 in.
