Scale

These two images show the approximate relative sizes of the debris field and the aircraft.

The red "pixel" near the aircraft in the second image represents what I imagine to be the effective sonar resolution, based on my understanding (or mis-understanding, as the case may be) of auv-ee's post #3169, "Resolution of sonar images", describing how sonar side-scan images are constructed. The red "pixel" is about 6 m from top to bottom, and the width arbitrally narrower. From the auv-ee's description I understand that the left-to-right resolution can be made as narrow as the constructor wants, but from the image I am guessing not very narrow, to conserve memory requirements. (auv-ee please correct this as necessary.)
