It's about 24 sedan cars. Don't tell me they only have a pic of one engine part coming out of the ground and the news never reported when it was
realized that most of the plane was underground.
I don't know how many pics "they" have. It may be substantially more, but were never released in respect for the dead. All you can say is that is
the one pic that you saw, you can't say it is the only one. As for the 24 sedans, I was talking about volume. Not weight. Correct me if I am
wrong, but the gross weight of the plane is about 220,000lbs. 80% of that is 176,000lb. I averaged the weight by volume for the plane at
approximately 125lb/cu ft. (Aluminum is 165lb/cu ft). 176,000 divided by 125 equals 1408 cu ft. 1408 cu ft divided by 27 converts to 52, say 53.
The typical large roll-off trash container is 30 cu yard capacity, therefore about 1 and 1/2 containers.
