We re copying. > there seems to be no difficulty in moving around. as we suspected. it s even perhaps easier than the simulations of 16g that we performed in various simulations on the ground. the descent engine did not leave a crater of any size. it has about one-foot clearance on the ground. i can see some evidence of rays emanating from the descent engine but very insignificant amount. roger, neil. we re reading you loud and clear. see you getting some pictures and the contingency sample. interesting, it s a very soft surface but here and there where i plug with the contingency sample collector i run into very hard surface, but it appears to be a very cohesive material of

A standard called 16g, which means 16 times the force of gravity so that we found previous to this passengers were being severely injured and killed because they were being ejected from their seats. also the interior of the planes no longer you know, in a fire, no longer emit toxic fumes. it s the design improvements over the past 20 years have been extraordinary, and it s resulted in very, very safe aircraft. one of the things that struck us earlier was a local fire official there on kntv was talking about the response to this crash landing. and he indicated that at this point, it looks like it took the
