Field notes
The homepage organizes material into Air, Water, Rail, and Land cases, with a “How it is made” link and source credits visible alongside the examples. Its interactive fuel exercise shows how using 1.77 in the Montreal calculation yields about 10,200 kg against 22,300 kg needed, and attributes the comparison to specific pages in the investigation report. The site also labels image provenance and map inputs.
