1. A process comprising: establishing a perimeter at an aircraft crash site;preventing contamination by hazardous materials of an environment within or proximate to the perimeter, wherein preventing contamination comprises containing wreckage in a containment unit that is adapted to prevent release of hazardous materials into the environment, wherein the wreckage comprises wreckage of an aircraft from the aircraft crash site;washing at least some of the wreckage in a decontamination unit; andpackaging the washed wreckage in a container. 2. The process of claim 1, further comprising, prior to containing the wreckage, locating the wreckage at the aircraft crash site. 3. The process of claim 2, further comprising, prior to locating the wreckage, reviewing a cargo manifest of the aircraft to determine the absence or presence of hazardous materials on the aircraft. 4. The process of claim 1, further comprising reviewing and determining required licenses and regulatory requirements for aircraft retrieval and aircraft crash site remediation at the aircraft crash site. 5. The process of claim 1, further comprising, prior to accessing the aircraft crash site, locating an owner of land corresponding to at least a portion of the aircraft crash site and obtaining permission from the owner to access the land, clean the land, alter the land, or combinations thereof. 6. The process of claim 1, further comprising establishing a command center at the aircraft crash site and managing aircraft retrieval and aircraft crash site remediation from the command center. 7. The process of claim 1, wherein establishing the perimeter comprises: providing communication that access within perimeter is restricted; providing a barrier surrounding the area defined by the perimeter; providing surveillance within or proximate to the perimeter; or combinations thereof. 8. The process of claim 1, wherein washing at least some of the wreckage in the decontamination unit comprises: washing at least some of the wreckage with a washing medium;transferring the used washing medium from the decontamination unit to one or more tanks; anddetermining a waste profile of the used washing medium, and based on the waste profile, sending the used washing medium to a transportation storage and disposal facility for disposal, an environmental landfill for disposal, or combinations thereof. 9. The process of claim 1, further comprising monitoring air quality at the aircraft crash site. 10. The process of claim 1, further comprising: identifying hazardous materials or potentially hazardous waste materials at the aircraft crash site;determining a hazardous waste profile for the identified hazardous materials or identified potentially hazardous materials; andpacking, transporting, disposing of, or combinations thereof the identified hazardous materials or identified potentially hazardous materials based upon the hazardous waste profile. 11. The process of claim 1, further comprising protecting an immediate and surrounding environment of the aircraft crash site. 12. The process of claim 11, wherein protecting the immediate and surrounding environment of the aircraft crash site comprises deploying one or more drain containment spill berms, deploying chemical dispersants, or combinations thereof. 13. The process of claim 1, further comprising, after packaging the washed wreckage, shipping the washed wreckage or allowing the washed wreckage to be shipped. 14. The process of claim 1, further comprising providing a personnel decontamination unit at or proximate the aircraft crash site, wherein the personnel decontamination unit is adapted to allow personnel working at or proximate the aircraft crash site to be decontaminated. 15. The process of claim 1, further comprising remediating land at the aircraft crash site, wherein remediating the land at the aircraft crash site comprises testing soil at the aircraft crash site for the presence of hazardous materials, or allowing the soil to be tested for the presence of hazardous materials; and if the soil is contaminated with hazardous materials, removing contaminated soil from the aircraft crash site. 16. The process of claim 1, further comprising monitoring the wreckage continuously or continually throughout the process using video monitoring, photographic monitoring, radio-frequency identification, or combinations thereof. 17. The process of claim 1, wherein the containment unit comprises: a base;one or more sidewalls coupled to the base; andone or more coverings coupled to the base, the one or more sidewalls, or combinations thereof, wherein the one or more coverings comprise one or more retention layers adapted to retain hazardous materials within the containment unit and one or more cushion layers adapted to provide impact damping to the containment unit. 18. The process of claim 1, wherein the decontamination unit comprises a cavity or basin, a drain adapted to allow the washing medium to leave the cavity or basin, and one or more tanks in fluid communication with the drain, wherein the one or more tanks are adapted to receive the washing medium. 19. The process of claim 1, wherein the container comprises a first end cap and a second end cap, wherein the first end cap is adapted to be coupled to the second end cap, and wherein the packaging of the wreckage into the container comprises: inserting the wreckage into the first end cap; andcoupling the second end cap to the first end cap, wherein the container is adapted to be coupled with a transportation structure. 20. The process of claim 1, wherein the container comprises one or more openings in fluid communication with the external environment. 21. The process of claim 20, wherein a cage structure forms external walls of the container. 22. The process of claim 1, wherein the container comprises a first end cap, a second end cap, and one or more intermediate portions, wherein the container is adapted to be coupled to one of the one or more intermediate portions and the second end cap is adapted to be coupled to one of the one or more intermediate portions opposite the first end cap, and wherein the packaging of the wreckage into the container comprises: inserting the wreckage into the first end cap coupled with one of the one or more intermediate portions; andcoupling the second end cap to one of the one or more intermediate portions opposite the first end cap, wherein the container is adapted to be coupled with a transportation structure. 23. The process of claim 1, further comprising, prior to washing at least some of the wreckage in the decontamination unit, separating portions of wreckage from other portions of wreckage or from non-wreckage. 24. The process of claim 23, wherein separation of the wreckage from other portions of the wreckage or from the non-wreckage comprises sifting the wreckage. 25. A process comprising: establishing a perimeter at an aircraft crash site;locating wreckage at the aircraft crash site, wherein the wreckage comprises wreckage of an aircraft;identifying hazardous materials or potentially hazardous waste materials at the aircraft crash site;preventing contamination by the hazardous materials of an environment within or proximate to the perimeter;determining a hazardous waste profile for the identified hazardous materials or identified potentially hazardous materials;packing, transporting, disposing of, or combinations thereof the identified hazardous materials based upon the hazardous waste profile;washing at least some of the wreckage;determining a waste profile of washing medium that has been used to wash at least some of the wreckage and, based on the waste profile, sending the used washing medium to a transportation storage and disposal facility for disposal, an environmental landfill for disposal, or combinations thereof;packaging at least some of the washed wreckage; andshipping at least some of the packaged wreckage or allowing at least some of the packaged wreckage to be shipped.
