In terms of jewellery is there anything anomolous v clothing? I recall the photo's from the Canary Islands CF and some survivors had lost shirts. There was a long discussion here a year or more about this when drift etc was being obssessed about. In terms of a structure destroying event, the forces weren't that big, as witnessed time and time again by the recovered structures/jump seats not sheared out of bulkheads etc.

Owing to the uncertain seastate at impact perhaps not much point wondering about the different damage states of the wings but the distribution of wreckage still leaves my inadequate brain wondering why it isn't some indication of heading (yaw and velocity vector at impact), ie generally westerly.

Any clues as to what the northerly outlier is ?

In terms of the humanity of it, I was nearly wiped out by a car at the unseemly early age of 7. Mentally, though concious, knew nothing about it, and this was for a non-bone breaking trauma so I think there's no need to worry on that score.
