When I was in EOD, I responded to (too) many plane crashes. The only thing that was in common between all of them was that every crash is different.

I have seen crash sites where you could see the entire aircraft and then the next one there is nothing left bigger than a shard. It was not uncommon to have an incident where major components (like entire jet engines) were never recovered.

There are a lot of factors involved in an airplane crash. A change in any one of them could drastically change the site.
