The FDR is fact, your ideas are fictional hearsay. To say the FDR is fake is a lie without supporting evidence.
If the fdr is a lie, drawing conclusions from it is a fool's errand. If you can't understand this simple principle, there's nothing I can do for you. The government doesn't
always lie, but it lies often enough that only a fool would fail to keep this in mind.
I am an aircraft accident investigator trained by the USAF and have experience in accidents where parts are ejected. So you are speaking from a lack of knowledge, your ideas are pure hearsay, made up by you and the truth movement. High speed impacts have parts that are spewed all over the place. I said the energy was like that of 2000 pounds of TNT, the kinetic energy was like. Take physics.
In light of the context of this thread, we can either dismiss your rationality or honesty.

I am saying a part of one engine was ejected to land near the pond.
Flight 93 debris pattern is that of a high speed impact, not a missile shoot down. All the debris is in the impact crater or ejected from the impact zone. FACT
If one engine was shot off, and a minor part of one wing, there's no reason to expect the debris field from the bulk of the plane to look different from the bulk of the plane + 1 engine + 1 wing segment. I'll take an uneducated guess at the mass difference between these two cases at 5%, plus another 5% due to fuel leaking.
Obviously, if a missile fractures a plane into many pieces in the air, the debris field on the ground will look very different than the scenario I have discussed. So, what have you offered by way of answering my questions about the effects of a small payload striking the engine? Nothing, actually.
You are the one making up the fantasy of a missile after 7 years, you have to provide the evidence, not me.
Blah, blah. Read the thread, please. Focus.
I worked an accident that impacted at 200 mph, and the cockpit was buried in the ground, but an instrument in perfect condition was ejected from the cockpit on impact and was over 400 feet away. This accident was at a 60 degree impact and 200 mph. 93 impact was at 40 degrees and 600 mph. The energy to disperse debris in 93 due to speed was 9 times greater. The instrument was small, the engine part on 93 was 400 yards away, three times further than my instrument, but gee, the force to get it there was over 9 times greater.
Look at the photos, 93 was destroyed by impact! Part are all over the place because the energy of impact was like 1637 pounds of TNT. The energy to destroy the plane was equal to a large bomb. But the impact and speed did it. It did not explode, it hit the ground.
I played with the applets linked earlier to conclude that, if simply looking at increases in energy, we can conclude that a 9x increase in KE will, all other things being equal in a simple ballistics problem, leads to a 9x increase in distance.
I'm still skeptical, though, that increase in impact KE will have a linear relationship with energy / mass available for ejecting matter. The ground will absorb shock, and there's no shortage of it. I suppose you'd have to study how deep the bedrock is, and start doing a lot of research, to see if you hit some sort of limiting value and the ground starts to act elastically, in the regime we're talking about.
I really doubt it, though that's not to say that I know what the deal is.
Since you are trained in air crashes, why not state what the case is, definitively, and give a reference? The question is "Is the relationship between impact velocity and maximum translation from GZ of an impact a linear relationship to the KE?" (for a given angle of incidence and ground type)

This F-4 hits the concrete slower than 93 hit the ground, and 93 went 50 feet into the ground, people and parts smashed to small pieces!
That F-4 was filled with water, to create that display. Didn't you know this?

Physics is cool, why not use it.
You've been invited to document empirical relationships, whose underlying mechanisms are in the realm of physics, even if derivations of said relationships turn out to be too hard to calculate. Why not provide it?
No missile on 93. The FDR is a fact, you have no evidence to not use the FDR. So your missile idea is a lie now by ignoring facts.
If you could prove the fdr data wasn't tampered with, this statement would make sense. Can you?
No, the engines were operating all the way to the ground, you are now making up lies I told you the FDR says so, it a FACT you can't dispute but with more lies.
There was no missile, so this is a dumb idea. The plane hit a 600 mph, the terrorist were moving the controls, the plane was following their inputs.
Blah, blah. Repeat this millions of times, why don't you?
To make up missile stories is exposing lack of knowledge on Flight 93, ignoring evidence and making up lies.

They had to dig deep to get all the parts. Parts found 50 feet deep.
The missile theory is a lie based on evidence.
The confirmation bias evident in your assertions is evident, though you're quite correct in saying that I don't have a lot of knowledge on Flight 93.
Tell me, if I ask the US government for the black box, do you think they'd lend it to me? We can't even get stupid pictures of a plane going into the Pentagon, so keep this in mind as you think deeply on this subject, before offering an answer. After all, we wouldn't want anybody to interpret any monotonous, thoughtless responses by you as evidence of you being a propagandist.
