I wouldn't give 1,500 pounds of fragments anything like the same "wow factor" as
a single 1,400 pound piece either. But if the story is accurate and not-- shall
we say-- embelleshed by the finder, then 1,500 pounds of fragments in one hole
surrounded by 20 feet of rust would still be an important piece of the story of
the fall. And it might be a sign that there are still bigger pieces to be
found, deeper down.
