I was arguing with a French CTist on another forum, she was saying there were no recognisable debris found in the WTC rubble.

I found this site which shows plenty, and not just the WTC rubble:

"Airplanes made this happen, so we could not ignore the airplanes..."
Airplanes made this happen, so we could not ignore the airplanes. I met with officials from the FBI to examine the airplane parts recovered at the World Trade Center, identified several that had meaning to me, and that hopefully would have meaning to the museum. Parts that were small enough for us to cope with, and yet that had recognizable aspects.

When the planes hit the World Trade Centers much of the planes were melted by the fire that occurred afterward, once the planes were inside the buildings. However, parts sheared off on impact and fell into the streets. These were some of the parts we looked at.

I've come back with a seat belt from one of the planes with its buckle, three or four pieces of fuselage skin, a piece of fuel tank from one of the wings of an airplane and a strut. All of these crushed and smashed and dusty, but indisputably parts of the airplanes.

Also of note, unrelated to debris, but found on the site, is the EYEWITNESS account of the impact of Flight 175.

Seymour Levy eyewitness account

It was approximately 8:50 AM, on a spectacular picture perfect New York City September morning, as I ascended the steps of the Canal Street subway station in lower Manhattan. It was then that I noticed a crowd of spectators all pointing skyward... southward towards Manhattan's tip. Then I saw it. Thick black smoke and flames emanating from the top floors of one of the twin towers.

"I think a plane hit the building," commented of one of the bystanders. I thought to myself, could this be possible on such a crystal clear day? My next thoughts were, how are the firemen ever going to get to reach those trapped in this inferno? As I gaped in awe, I saw it happen. Another plane smashed into the second tower emitting a gigantic fire ball and explosion. Is this really happening? Is this some sort of special effect Hollywood production I'm seeing? A frenzy of police sirens, and fire truck horns erupted, coming from all directions racing downtown at a maddening pace.

Cosmik Debris

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me

The Mystery Man got nervous
An' he fidget around a bit
He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe
An' he whipped out a shaving kit
Now, I thought it was a razor
An' a can of foamin' goo
But he told me right then when the top popped open
There was nothin' his box won't do
With the oil of Afro-dytee
An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo
He said:
"You might not believe this, little fella, but it'll cure your Asthma too!"
An' I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now what kind of a geroo are you anyway?)
Look here brother,
Don't you waste your time on me
Don't waste yer time . . .

I've got troubles of my own, I said
An' you can't help me out
So take your meditations an' your preparations
An' ram it up yer snout
"BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!," he said
An' held it to the light
So I snatched it
All away from him
An' I showed him how to do it right
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head
So I'd look like I was Deep
I said some Mumbo Jumbos then
An' told him he was goin' to sleep
I robbed his rings
An' pocket watch
An' everything else I found
I had that sucker hypnotized
He couldn't even make a sound
I proceeded to tell him his future then
As long as he was hanging around,
I said
"The price of meat has just gone up
An' yer ol' lady has just gone down . . . "
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?)
Don't you know,
You could make more money as a butcher,
So don't you waste your time on me
(Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me . . . )

And yet your own source makes fatal admissions:

Even on the scene, he intuitively recognizes that the entire . . . .


You know, even trying to state that for parody purposes makes me feel bad. It feels too disrespectful of the lives lost and the family members and friends left behind that day. I can't do it.
