Question
so i went to my friends and theres a wing and  some burnt pressure lines he has acres but anyways it has been there for a while and i just wanted to ask if there was anyway we could tell if anyone died

Answer
You can find accident reports for crashes at the NTSB website. If there was a fatality, it would surely be in their system. Use the search function to see a record of all accidents on file for a given geographic location:

http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp

However, it could also be that some parts were discarded there and it wasn't actually a crash site. You'd have to ask some longtime residents of the neighborhood about that possibility.

Good Luck.
