Fl Value jet crash......

"Toy estimated the crater was 75 feet long, 45 feet wide and about 7 feet deep, half water and half mud. But other estimates indicated it was larger.

At the point of the plane's initial impact, the pit is about 12 inches to 18 inches deeper with basketball-size chunks of limestone rubble surrounding the indentation, Toy told CNN's Susan Candiotti during a live interview Wednesday. (224K AIFF or WAV sound)


Toy said once he began kicking up the mud, the underwater visibility was almost nonexistent.

NTSB spokesman Pat Cariseo said it's not unusual that so little remains of the DC-9. He cited two investigations, including the September 1994 crash of USAir Flight 427 near Pittsburgh, in which planes spiraled to earth at high speed as the ValuJet plane did, and were pulverized."
