Here you can see how the fuselage landed on the trailer. You can see how the engine was bent down in the impact.

Had it landed a few feet to the right, the Cat probably would have come up through the floor of the aircraft. The front axle on the trailer snapped. You can see how it bent from the impact.

The "Jaws of Life" were used in the rescue effort. Here you can see the top of the fuselage pried open.

From this angle, the wreckage doesn't look too severe.

This is a crappy picture. I wasn't able to get up in the aircraft, since it was kind of teetering on the trailer, and I didn't want to disturb the scene. Still, you can see an example of how the cockpit was crushed. You can also see how the instrument panel buckled as the fuselage crushed.

This is Neal's shoe, permanently embedded in the metal. The rescuers had to cut open the lower engine cowling near the firewall in order to free his right ankle, which was badly crushed and caught up in the various metal stuff - rudder pedals, brake cylinders, fuel lines, etc.

Here's another view of the cockpit that shows how twisted and crushed everything is. You can see how the left side of the fuselage was crushed inward, snapping Dave's left femur. Neal's left femur also was shattered somehow in the impact.

As the engine bent downward, the firewall was forced back into the cockpit, crushing everything in its path.

Here you can see how mangled the left side of the fuselage was.

The next two views illustrate how the Cat penetrated the left side and ruptured the left fuel tank. Fuel went everywhere...it's a miracle that a fire didn't erupt. Thanks to the construction team and the rescuers, they were able to hose down the scene almost immediately.

Unlike the crushing in of the left side, the right side of the fuselage was pretty much untouched. The majority of the damage on the right was in the area of Neal's feet.

It's hard to tell, but standing there you can really see how bent (to the right) the pole is. The aircraft came from left to right here and caught on the top wire. Eyewitnesses claimed that the wire stretched out over 50', not unlike the tripwire on an aircraft carrier. You can also see the water in the trench. This is runoff from hosing down the fuel and oil. The woman on the roller here is the same woman that was driving the machinery that they pulled up to avoid.

Here's Neal in his hospital bed, complete with halo and morphine push. Pardon the plastic knife stuck in his hair...that's his way of telling us that he has a sense of humor about all of this.
