it looks kinda confusing, but really it is hundreds of gallons of water being released as quickly as possible, so as it falls it separates and looks puffy. I would really not like to stand under it, it's a bit more than a shower.

Before you write garbage, investigate your subject. These planes are invaluable in fighting fires.

If they did not work, do you think they would risk lives sending the bombers in harms way?

things change, they were originally supposed to be used for WW2.
