During my Naval Aviator career I became an accident investigator. Went to post-graduate school, metals, stress fracture, impact failure, psychology, the works.
When I was at China Lake in the high desert of Calif, there was an accident. A-7 driver hit the ground at 400 mph+. We scoured the site for remains, gathered perhaps 20 pounds in ziplock bags. Notified the family that the casket should be closed ,we had his remains, they understood. But his wife was insistent that if we had his 'body', where was his wedding ring? Didn't have the heart to tell her the largest piece we found was golf ball size.
I took another team back out there with metal detectors, we scoured that site in 100 degree temps for 3 days. Problem was the site had thousands of small pieces of metal in the sand. Then one sailor said 'here it is'. A needle in a haystack, but maybe divine intervention.
