A light plane crash has few if any political strands which can inhibit a journo going full on with dramatic language.
It is the role the aircraft had which is tempering reporting. Firefighting is a sensitive subject with the public, I've never seen negative press in Australia of the cockups made by volunteer firefighters. The press and pollies tread gingerly.
