Crash site of missing plane found (North Las Vegas to San Diego)

Peter,

I've spent almost 16 years in mountain rescue and have done literally 100's
of rescues and body recoveries from plane crashes. It has been my
experience that in the vast majority of those, most if not all of the
instruments are readable. The glass is often broken, the gauges may or may
not be bent, but the needles are there, stuck in posision they were at upon
impact.

This would indicate the altitude that the pilot 'thought' he was at just
prior to impact.

It would be interesting if they would have mentioned what his altimeter
was
indicating.

How would they know?
