[meteorite-list] Meteor Crater Plane Crash

[James Tobin]

Dear List,
I just reread the article from 2008 in Meteorite Times and I don't have a 
lot of additional information to add. The actually crash information from 
the government reports is in the previous article from 2003 I think it was.

But, as to what happened to the rest of the plane. Some was indeed removed 
from the crater and salvaged, but most of the remains were put down the 
shafts in the crater center which are fenced off now. Just the couple pieces 
a few feet long are all that remain. They can be found along the western 
edge of the crater near the bottom of the talus. As I mentioned in the 
article you can see them in binoculars or even in a camera with telephoto 
lens from the visitor center deck. And at the right time of the morning the 
sunlight coming over the edge of the crater rim will gleam off the fragments 
for a while. Makes a great photo when the bright shiny sparkle shows well.

Best regards, Jim
