Massive body injury in a pilot who crashed at high speed (after clothing removal). An aircraft crash typically involves major forces. As such, massive injury can result, such that bodies can become severely disfigured or fragmented. A general rule of thumb is that if the aircraft is recognizable, there is a good chance that the body(ies) will be intact, or at least partially intact. In contrast, if the aircraft is in pieces, the body(ies) will be in pieces. Thermal injuries can further obscure bodies. It should be noted that persons on the ground at the site of the crash may also be killed.
