I have to agree. I don't have any theories, conspiracy or otherwise, but I
would like to know what happened to all those parts that should have been
strewn over the vicinity.

I'm with ya there....

I helped recover the wreckage from an L-39 that hit the ground nearly
vertically going 500+ knots. Much of the vertical fin was still in
one piece. The impact crater was 10+ feet deep. The hot section of
the engine, though banged up, was very recognizable and we found it
50+ hundred yards away from the impact crater. We found a few smashed
instruments, a partial control stick, and lots of metal pieces the
size of your fist or smaller, some a little bigger (he biggest /
heaviest recognizable pieces were the landing gear assemblies).
It took us over a week to pick up all the bits and pieces, some of
which, ended up as far as a 1/4 of a mile away from the impact crater.


In a crash of this magnitude, you typically find small stuff literally
everywhere... like bits / lengths of wire for example... there are
miles of wire in an airliner...., bits and pieces of insulation,
plexiglas, etc. We found things you wouldn't think you'd find too,
like whole pages here and there out of an approach plate / book,
currency (coin & bill), the airframe data-plate, etc..
