Re craning out debris, I wondered about that as well. I wonder what the urgency is, as I understand the wreckage is not obstructing traffic. Certainly seems a rush to me - mapping and labeling all take time as does mapping skid marks, metal scrapes, gouges in the dirt etc - All that evidence is being compromised. The NTSB would only assist and wouldn't have the IIC but it certainly seems premature. I wonder too if they've found the boxes?

Unless one has first-hand knowledge (been there, not heard it 2nd hand), re thrust reversers and skid marks from post 156 - I think it's premature to draw conclusions about flight phases in such a catastrophic break-up.
