Thank you. To "forensically examine" this incident as much as it can be, was it found on the surface, or had it punched into the ground (even if it bounced back out, leaving a "dent" in the soil)? If the latter was the case, that would suggest that the motor case was quite plastic (in the way that "plastic" refers to the hot rock inside the Earth--heat-softened and pliable) at the instant of impact. |
