That the crew obviously deliberately ran into the blaze, merrily tossing their emergency tents into the wind?
This was a tragic accident, not a conspiracy. They didn't plan on dying and nobody was out to kill them. It doesn't serve the county or the state to play fast and loose with the truth.
The report could be released to independent investigators if anyone felt there was malfeasance, but the autopsy photos should NOT be released to the public. That would be an unnecessary cruelty to the families - and don't they have enough already? Bad enough their loved ones died, but they aren't eligible for any sort of compensation.

County Attorney will not release autopsies of Yarnell 19 without a court order. [View all] Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 OP

The autopsies won't tell you what happened. enlightenment Aug 2013 #1

There is absolutely a rational reason to release both the reports and the autopsies. Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #2

What do you suggest they autopsy report will say? enlightenment Aug 2013 #6

It would absolutely serve the interest of the county and the state to conceal any wrong doing... Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #7

I'm not saying this is a cover up. Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #11

But you're assuming that there is wrong-doing. enlightenment Aug 2013 #17

I agree. djean111 Aug 2013 #3

You cannot think of a single reason to release the photos? Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #5

fucking attorney what an asshole gopiscrap Aug 2013 #4

Unrec. Sometimes accidents happen. Everything isn't a conspiracy. FSogol Aug 2013 #8

They were public servants who died while on duty. En masse, might I add... Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #12

No, the public doesn't need to gawk at the photos. FSogol Aug 2013 #13

Are you suggesting it can be investigated without public disclosure? Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #14

A final report can be released. The dead firemen don't need to be paraded around FSogol Aug 2013 #15

Public disclosure is a standard, not an exception. Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #16

So you would be happy to read the autopsy reports and not look at charred corpses, then, I assume. djean111 Aug 2013 #18

I'm not sure you understand the definition of "parading." Gravitycollapse Aug 2013 #19

Oh, yes I do understand. djean111 Aug 2013 #20
