Vu l'étendue considérable du site d’écrasement, on a recouru à une technique de recherche en ligne droite pour son ratissage. L'équipe de l'IVC [identification des victimes de catastrophe] et vingt-quatre militaires [...] ont entamé la fouille terrestre [...] Placés à distance d’un bras l'un de l'autre, les militaires [...] avançaient lentement en ligne droite jusqu'à ce qu'un objet d’intérêt soit repéré. [...] l'endroit était noté [...] Grâce à cette méthode exhaustive, on a pu passer le site d’écrasement au peigne fin en une demi-journée et trouver quelque 225 effets personnels. 1, record 1, French, - technique%20de%20recherche%20en%20ligne%20droite
