Well, it looks like Shilltown's debate over there is going to pieces fast. He gets increasingly abusive as he gets cornered, as I'm sure you've already found out. It also appears somebody read the word "diatribe" to him, and he liked it, without fully understanding what it means...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't his whole argument at present that (a) Flight 93 only had two engines, and (b) witness statements about where engine parts were found don't all use precisely the same verbiage, leading him to conclude (c) there were more than three places where they were found? Seems to me he's already conceded that some form of aircraft crashed there... nail him down on that, and we have some progress, then we can work on details.
Anyway, what it suggests to me, though I don't know this for sure, is that the engines came apart. We know the pieces found are far smaller than an intact engine. To a rescue worker, or even an experienced crash investigator trying to summarize, the low-pressure section by itself might be called "the engine," so might the high-pressure core, etc. -- thus, since we know no engine was found truly intact, it's not unreasonable at all for there to be more than two recovery locations.
Laughing boy, of course, says it must be due to people moving pieces around willy-nilly, and that only makes sense if pieces are being planted. As chippy noted, of course, there may have been other reasons to move them, and we still haven't established that they were in the first place.
Not everyone yet -- he'll get there, but at the moment he seems to be fingering just one guy:
Really, we waited a week for this?

And all of the relief agencies and police departments who helped with the supposed cleanup. Remember that they're all in on it, too.

Now how anyone was meant to surrepetitiously drive a backhoe into the middle of a huge recovery effort, and just dump a half-ton chunk of metal, without anybody noticing, escapes me. So does the question of why anyone would bother adding a single piece to an already huge debris field that's completely consistent with Flight 93. So I can only assume that next our little friend will accuse the entire crew and the gathered populations of Shanksville and Indian Lake.Killtown @ Sector G board said:3b) He [the backhoe operator] was in on it. YOu know, how some people are evil? (Think like people in the mob.)
Really, we waited a week for this?
