Wait a minute, wait a minute... what the heck are some of these responses trying to get at? What do these anomalies suggest? There is incontrovertible evidence including but not limited to
radar data,
Air Traffic Controller recordings,
CVR (

FDR data,
cell and
airphone call evidence,
DNA analysis,
victims personal effects identification, and
witness and first responder testimony (scroll down to "Some Witnesses to Flight 93's Last Moments"; first responder testimony immediately follows on that page) that clearly identifies Flight 93 and the path it took and the events that caused the crash. The narrative is
proven by these multiple lines of evidence.
How are supposed anomalies, like burning cushions and quibbles about the impact hole supposed to negate all that? Since when is the total weight of multiple converging lines of evidence supposed to be overturned by superficial analysis of the impact and incredulous regard of the debris location? None of these anomalies - none of them! - negate, falsify, or cast into doubt the identity of the jet, the fact that it crashed, or the reason it was hijacked and flown into the ground. None of them. A burning seat cushion found a couple of miles away does not falsify the ATC testimony, the radar data, or the FDR evidence. A disagreement about what the characteristics of the impact crater represent does not invalidate the cell and airphone calls, the CVR recordings, or the DNA identification. None of the objections to the evidence negates the testimony of the first responders who gathered the debris. These attempts at falsification fall flat and far short of what's needed to inject doubt into the narrative. Why are they being brought up? The characteristics of the impact crater do not contradict the crash at all; neither does the fact that debris was found some distance away. Both
confirm the presence of a crashed airliner. The fact that minute characteristics of both objections violates some peoples sense of credulity does not mean that Flight 93 didn't crash. It only means that people questioning the data are unable to correctly consider it.
When someone comes up with a reasonable alternative narrative that
includes the details of the CVR, FDR, and radar data, explains the crater and debris pattern, and accounts for the witnesses and personal effects identifications,
then we will have a truly acceptible alternative narrative. But point objections to isolated elements of the story do not overturn the thrust of the narrative. Not one bit.
