Long and 15 feet long, if this type of plane, the 777 were to create a debris field what is likely to match up with 78-foot or 15-foot object in your mind? >> theres two parts of the airplane really that could match up to that. one, it could be a wing panel because the wing span is over 200 feet. it could be a large section of wing panel. or it could be a large section of the fuj laselage, whether th crown portion or belly of the aircraft and could be a large section of fuselage. you have to loo...
