You can clearly see the fuselage and wings at: 26 deg 11' 54" N 50 deg 36' 10" E Bloody shame if you ask me. They even found some Indian labourers living in the cockpit having removed a few pieces!

First of all "whose" in the first paragraph should be "who has". Second- "previously spotted" or "spotted before" would be fine but what you have is redundant. Then, you write "buiding" instead of "building" in the last link. In other news: wow, I agree, Mizo. This whole place ought to be shut down, espescially after a collapse that bad. What ruins! Woohoo, I beat SpedAngel to it!
