Sorry, but this location is wrong and derived from a distorted freehand map. The wreckage, burial, and memorial site emplaced by the burial detail a month after the rescue is a few miles to the west and THOUSANDS OF FEET HIGHER in elevation. For this to be the crash site requires a genuine miracle for persons and debris to magically defy the laws of gravity and continue flying after disintegration miles further and over a mile HIGHER . . . . .
