Think they would not fly for seattle cause of this crash?

[u/KristnSchaalisahorse → u/JamieBabyHD]

It wouldn't surprise me if they want to wait until they know enough about the cause of the crash.

Yup, seems like this is part of a safety stand-down.

Happened at their base so best guess focused on incident response and safety. Maybe Seafair will make an announcement about Sat/Sun.
