the b737-200 "classic" or now refered to as 732, is a good, but old aircraft. I was type rated in it in the 80's.

Very bad post accident fire as evident by the skin burned off all of the tail section and other charring in other photos. Tail section intact sitting upright indicating probably not a real high-g impact. Click here to see the JT8d-9 or -15 engine? Somebody correct me on this:

Appears to be a cowless [deleted word "core"] engine left in above link photo. The mid bent structure are non-rotating inlet guide vanes. The bent compressor disc appears to me to have been rotating at the time of impact.

JMHO's.

Corrections from qualified mechanics?
