I was told that the ATC requested the pilot turn at that time and in that direction because a tanker was waiting to take off behind him. He tried to stay over the road. Unfortunatly, his worst case sinario showed up at the worst time. I did not hear why the bucket came off.

Flight service staion, not ATC but yep that sounds about right. I know all the local pilots go way around. there must have been other factors... quite possibally gliders on the west.
