Perhaps someone can answer a question. If this stuff fell from 200,000+ feet, how come it just comes to rest? How come it doesn't drill into the ground. Some of this stuff looks pretty substantial, yet it looks like it just fell from ten feet or so.

By the way...I think looking at this stuff is fine. Yeah, I'd rather not see the human remains, but doesnt look much worse than stuff I've seen after car wrecks. Yes, when you consider people lost their lives it takes on a more solemn tone, but overall these are not that "graphic."

Some of the stuff is pretty light and wide with a fairly low terminal velocity (the maximum speed it will free fall)

Here is a tile on the roof of a house.
