The deep crater drawing the footprint of the aircraft in the loose soil of this former open pit mine manifests the verticality of the impact. In addition, two sets of debris found in southern Indian Lake and New Baltimore, 3 and 12 km from the impact, are aligned with a motor (single piece of significant size located, 600 meters from the impact). The main impact is a short distance from this alignment, perhaps indicating a drift of debris after their separation from the plane, as shown on this map.
