The debris pattern in the the hillside is consistent with an impact like this (F-4 into a concrete barrier)


I was trying to explain to some non aviation people today that the hope of finding victims remains intact after a high speed collision with a solid object are remote.

The forces involved in an almost instantaneous stop from cruise speed are tremendous, most people can't comprehend that.
