Lorianne,

Not much of a chance at all for a person to survive an extremely violent crash/impact, as in the type that Steve Fossett was involved in... hungry animals likely ate his remains.

The National Transportation Safety Board recovered the wreckage of Fossett's plane, which was discovered by a hiker, Monday, and will assemble it later to try to find the cause of the crash.

Looks like he was going pretty fast.

Wing.

If you look closely you can see the aluminum spars passing through the perforations in the aluminum ribs. The fuselage on this aircraft is welded steel tubing.
