That a portion of the LDMCR has been recovered is, in itself, about as relevant as the fact that a spoiler panel has been recovered (actually, less so).
I thought that the inference from the photo was whether it was occupied and whether this was indicative of no specfic CC warning about turbulence.
I don't know the answers to this but I had sensed in the thread that is why it was being discussed.
lomapaseo,
If that was the inference then sorry, I missed it. To be honest I don't think there are any conclusions about warnings to CC about turbulence that could be derived from whether the LDMCR was occupied. One might conclude that, if it was occupied, the CC were not in the process of preparing for an emergency landing, but that would require the assumption that the conditions existing would have permitted the CC to exit the LDMCR. With so many unknowns we don't know if that was the case so the occupancy of the LDMCR or not in itself doesn't tell us much.
