My point is that speculation, while natural, should have regard to the context of operations. Talk of checking for fuel contamination at Richmond or other potential immediate operational issues is fine.
However these aerial firefighting operations are ongoing for probably another month and wild speculation about wings falling off, etc. ,etc. are not exactly helpful to families and friends of crew who already worrying that their loved ones will come back at the end of their shift today, tomorrow and the next day and the next. They are also possibly a nuisance at the very least to the people who are doing their damndest to keep everything safe and operational if they are silly enough to read much pprune.
To put that another way, do you want to be told by someone, who has read it on pprune that some internet expert says your husband/ wife/ son/ daughter is needlessly (for that is the implication) risking their life in a death trap who’s wings are going to fall off?
And the next few days are high fire danger, so the tempo may increase.
