Has anyone found any aircraft crash sites that were so remote or mountainous that removing the crash would be too expensive so they left the aircraft?

This got me thinking of the topic:

I have seen this crash site for the Tramway going to Sandia Peak in Albuquerque:

This is where the Wichita State Football Team plane crashed in 1970:

The debris is not visible from google maps, but if you go hiking there you can find aircraft parts.

I know maybe this subject is sensitive because in some cases, lives were lost and for that I am sorry, and I am by no means glorifying this.  I was just wondering if there are any other instances of abandoned aircraft that were visible from above.

Hmmm.. This isn't how I interpreted the thread title.

Nearest such place to me would probably be the site outside Huntington where the Marshall football team's plane crashed. I don't know if there is access to the site itself, but there's a historical marker along US 52.

Me either. I thought "crashed" was describing what Google Maps had done to the airplanes, not the airplanes' current condition.
