access to the crash site was hindered by hazardous materials for at least a full day after the crash.....I must have seen too many movies. I thought that any hazardous materials would have been consumed by the fireball of the crash.

On Thursday, a defense ministry official provided a different name for the killed pilot, identifying him as Brig. Gen. Rafid Mohammed Hassan. The ministry on Friday had no explanation for the conflicting identities, the AP reported.

Easy. One is his real name and the other his jihadi name.
