Don't forget the bouyancy of the tyres too. East to West ? Probably because the a/c at some stage earlier was east of its found position and the general cockpit stuff at the west end and the early-leavers stuff (engines, wings) at the east end. Does it mean anything ? Dunno, but I would put my £1 on it with some thought I may have lost it !
Does it make any difference; probably not. Sheds no light on the factors which initiated the event nor the factors which prevented recovery. The FDR and CVR will be needed for each of those. However what is the alternative, to wait for the final report in silence ? Not many people are good at that, and none here I would suggest !
