This picture*, which is not as good a perspective as pictures shown on television, is of the fan section of one engine. This engine is located in the yard of a house on 127th St. Another picture of an engine and cowling (or part of this engine?) posted on the closed thread is that of the engine that landed at a petrol station on 129th St. The engine in the yard is slightly to the left of the flight path; the engine at the station is slightly to the right. The main portion of the aircraft impacted at 131st St. (The streets rise in number going from east to west.) The vertical stabilizer was retrieved from the water several hundred yards or more to the northeast from where these engine parts impacted.
Radar trace information is as follows:
9:14.34 takeoff
9:15.02 1300 feet, 200 mph
9:15.36 "plane begins to climb more rapidly"
9:16.01 2800 feet, 306 mph (last trace)
