I live about an hour from where it crashed. If you’re wondering about the importance of its mission, it’s too nuanced to explain if you need it explained. Live in WA for a year…
We don’t know why it crashed, Most likely a stall or just CFIT produced by TF.
The pilots walked away thank god, but the prevailing feeling on the streets of Esperance is, great, now we’re down a water tanker rolling into bushfire season
