“They had been sent here because of a crash, but there was no plane?” the reporter asked.
“No. Nothing. Only this hole.”

Apparently, something was lost in translation with the German TV station.
When Der Spiegel confronts Stull with the English translation of these passages in the book and the film script, the man is speechless: "My statements were taken completely out of context. Of course there was an airplane. It's just that there wasn't much left of it after the explosion. That's what I meant when I said 'no airplane'. I saw parts of the wreckage with my own eyes, even one of the engines. It was lying in the bushes."
