Anyone know what for? |
Self
destruction component, most likely for the radio. It has a
weighted pendulum held in place with a spring loaded lever
that would hold it unless a sudden impact--such as a
crash--jolted it. |

Field
ration cans left behind by either the investigation, or more
likely, the clean-up crew.
