Beat me to it, Pat. Good article, and it's a great reminder for folks who visit crash sites and pick up airplane pieces about why we should be mindful of what we're holding in our hands, and what it can mean to the families to have crewmembers' personal items returned. I am generally very impressed with wreckchasers' attitudes toward this topic.

Amazing set of chance circumstances and coincidence. The saddest part is that there are still so, so many families still awaiting that bit of closure.
