Terminal velocity: It can only fall so fast, no matter what. Objects don’t continue accelerating faster and faster. At some point, they’re going as fast as they can go given conditions.
In other words, there may be do difference in dropping it out a 3-story window, 16,000 feet, or 120,000 feet.

I know the area it landed in and if it was any more north it could have landed in some swampy wetlands and would potentially be underwater.

Not grass, a bush. Best case scenario short of a vat of jello.

My Google Pixel Bud fell into a bush the other day. Despite knowing its basic vicinity I still couldn’t find it. I used the find feature which makes it ring loud but still had issues as cars on the road were too noisy. I had to wait until after 8PM to try again. Thankfully I managed to but it really wasn’t easy!

It’s only if you want to find it that it’s hard to find. You have to pretend you don’t care either way.

Guess you just needed to call in the ntsb to look for plane parts.

Oh god I have the lemongrass GPBP, and they were impossible to find in… Grass.
