Well, then how many times has an airliner crashed like United 93 was supposed to have? If a lay person has not experienced such a catastrophic event (like flight 93) before, they may have no idea what to expect or not see what they expect to see. Did any of the persons quoted in the video have any experience with similar crash sites? This is important to know if we should expect to place any significance in their statements at all. Why would they be expected to know it was a 757 instead of any other medium sized airliner? I am familiar with aircraft, but it beats me how I can tell the difference between the high speed crash sites of 757, 767, 737 or Airbus medium sized airliners. Expecting someone to identify a 757 in small pieces in or on the ground is really setting the bar too high in my opinion What I am getting at is that I have not seen claims by the government that 90% of the aircraft was recovered, just news reports. While I know that the media and government are unreliable at times, I am wondering if any government officials actually made the claims repeated in the video. I do not agree that an object impacting the ground makes a crater whose depth tells us the deepest penetration. Something as simple as shooting a bullet or shotshell into the dirt will show you that. No one should expect the ground to be a homogenous layer of material. The aircraft is made from a variety of materials also; plastics, aluminum, steel, titanium and glass. All of these can react differently to the Earth when they impact. |
