Here is a what a possible crash site looks like.
http://maps.google.com/?q=39.070750,-119.490250


If you tilt this possible airplane crash site in
Google Earth, you can see it's near the crest of a
gentle slope where the white car-sized object
appears to have slid into the top of the hill from
the east and lay itself to rest on the crest of the
hill.

This kind of underscores the fact you need to search
with some topography available to you.

Does Amazon's Mechanical Turk show topography?
Or only Google Earth?

No.

But each hit comes with a latitude/longitude specification
that may be cut and pasted into Google Earth for further
review.

Looks like mine tailings, especially since it's on a road with several other
mine sites.
