Crash Site (Hanubia)

The "Crash Site" is a room in Hanubia. It appears in Metroid Dread. This is where Itorash crashes after Samus Aran completely drains it of its energy, and it is where she eradicates Raven Beak after he is assimilated by an X Parasite.
==Description==
The Crash Site is located outside and at the base of the Hanubia facility. This room is in an area not accessible prior to Samus's battle with Raven Beak. Large, jagged debris from Itorash covers and protrudes from the floor in the background, with some of it on fire despite the constant rainstorm in Hanubia. Tall structures are visible further into the background, and may represent other facilities. Despite this being the apparent crash site of Itorash, a cavernous ceiling extends over the room from a cliff on the eastern side. It is possible that its debris scattered across a wide radius and the rest of the facility landed elsewhere.
After Samus defeats Raven Beak, her energy-draining abilities sap Itorash entirely of its energy and cause it to crash into Hanubia. Both Samus and Raven Beak survive. Upon landing, Samus stands up, with her back to the screen and now wearing a mutated, Metroid-like Power Suit. She turns around and sees a hunched over Raven Beak still alive, although weakened. Taking aim, Samus witnesses a large, purple X Parasite possess Raven Beak and assimilate him, turning him into a deformed monster called Raven Beak X.
Using her new Hyper Beam, Samus defeats Raven Beak once and for all, and kills the X that emerges from it. After it dies, a self-destruct sequence commences, threatening to destroy the entire planet of ZDR in three minutes. To escape, Samus must Space Jump or Shinespark up to the top of the Crash Site and use the Hyper Beam to shoot out the wall on the upper left. This puts her on a path back into the Hanubia facility, through which she can reach her Gunship. She must jump carefully up to the wall, as there is a slope that will cause Samus to slide down if she jumps onto it.
