Wizard:
What makes you think you or I are entitled to see the wreckage of a plane involved in a criminal act?
The thing that bothers me about the CTers in general, is that they seem to think that Joe Public is entitled to see all the evidence for every aspect of the attacks, and if not provided, than it must be that they are covering up.
Can you imagine if Joe Public had access to all the evidence of every crime, every unusual event, in recorded history? Foolishness. If CNN broadcasts tomorrow that a plane ran into bad weather and crashed in the middle of a field in Texas, do you think the general public requires seeing the wreckage placed in a hanger, in order to believe it.
These guys here are right. When a plane crashes into a landfill at 550mph, and at a steep angle (40 vs 90 not much difference once beyond a critical angle, I would imagine), there is likely not much left of the plane that would be larger than a a foot or two in size, even at the bottom of the crater, much less the surface.
Every dig a grave. In my youth I did just that. Here is an analogy. When we would dig a fresh grave, out of solid ground, it would be an extremely laborous process. However, when we would dig an adjoining grave within a two person plot that already had been dug up, and then refilled (when the first person was buried), It was as easy as scooping the dirt out. Well the shanksville site was like the two person plot.
The crash site was a landfill. That means it was full of loosely piled dirt and debris. compared to the hard dirt and rock of a mountainside, the shanksville land would have been like butter, and hence the reason the plane buried itself on impact.
