Where do you see anything about an aircraft being down? All it says is that they need a temporary flight restriction so they can safely conduct search and rescue operations, which most likely are for climbers or hikers.
When’s the last time you saw a TFR for hikers?
Besides, when you get TFR’s in this area it’s often something secret that crashed.
It is unusual for a hiker, but there was a guy lost on the mountain the other day…but I saw they found the body yesterday.
Norad is reporting an SR-71 down in the area.
