Some very good pictures and some very disturbing ones. Wreckage should NOT be shifted. The investigators need to know where and how the plane impacted. This is also a crucial part of the investigation. How did it break-up on impact? In what sequence?

I appreciate the need to move some wreckage to take out remains. But they have to be very careful.
