There wasn't much in that crater. The other guy talks like most of the plane traveled down into the ground. If that was the case, there would be a hole, not a crater left where you could walk in it as that one photo shows of the one guy in the jumpsuit doing.You can call it anything you like crater, hole, crevice.
You guys are really think most of the remnants of a Boeing 757 was in the ground? Seriously???Doesn't matter. Remember this was a reclaimed mine. the ground was rather soft. Anything smashing into it at 500+MPH is going to sink in. If I remember right they stopped digging at about 45 ft deep.
