I've been to one, and what I saw was big chunks of air frame and mostly intact turbo fans..

Question # 1 - How many aircraft crashes you been to ??
You say there is no wreckage ...... Searchers recovered some 125,000 lbs of debris from the site - thats over sixty tons !!
Here is picture of dumpster used to contain the debris - They filled up ten of these.......

Shanksville was a magnificent deception, and many folks there tell the story of it. Susan McIlwain is one. She told of being coerced by FBI agents into changing her story. She did not change the story, but did expose them.
Susan McElwain
Susan McElwain, 51, who lived two miles from the crash site, told a British reporter that she had seen a white aircraft pass directly over her head. 'It came right over me, I reckon just 40 or 50ft above my mini-van," she said. "It was so low I ducked instinctively.
The White Jet
Claim: At least six eyewitnesses say they saw a small white jet flying low over the crash area almost immediately after Flight 93 went down. BlogD.com theorizes that the aircraft was downed by "either a missile fired from an Air Force jet, or via an electronic assault made by a U.S. Customs airplane reported to have been seen near the site minutes after Flight 93 crashed." WorldNetDaily.com weighs in: "Witnesses to this low-flying jet ... told their story to journalists. Shortly thereafter, the FBI began to attack the witnesses with perhaps the most inane disinformation ever—alleging the witnesses actually observed a private jet at 34,000 ft. The FBI says the jet was asked to come down to 5000 ft. and try to find the crash site. This would require about 20 minutes to descend."
FACT: There was such a jet in the vicinity—a Dassault Falcon 20 business jet owned by the VF Corp. of Greensboro, N.C., an apparel company that markets Wrangler jeans and other brands. The VF plane was flying into Johnstown-Cambria airport, 20 miles north of Shanksville. According to David Newell, VF's director of aviation and travel, the FAA's Cleveland Center contacted copilot Yates Gladwell when the Falcon was at an altitude "in the neighborhood of 3000 to 4000 ft."—not 34,000 ft. "They were in a descent already going into Johnstown," Newell adds.
"The FAA asked them to investigate and they did. They got down within 1500 ft. of the ground when they circled. They saw a hole in the ground with smoke coming out of it. They pinpointed the location and then continued on." Reached by PM, Gladwell confirmed this account but, concerned about ongoing harassment by conspiracy theorists, asked not to be quoted directly.

wildb, committed a major blunder by posting a video that depicted wreckage of a B-757 in a field and it was evident that the B-757 did not slam into the ground at over 500 mph unlike United 93
Taking the video out of context is not my blunder..
Britannia Airways Flight 226A
The aircraft touched down hard, bounced, and made a second heavier touchdown causing substantial damage to the nose wheel and its supports. This caused further damage to the aircraft systems, including loss of electrical power, interference with controls and an uncommanded increase in thrust.
The Boeing 757 left the runway at high speed, approximately 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) from the second touchdown point. It then ran 343 metres (1,125 ft) across flat grassland beside the runway, before going diagonally over a substantial earth mound adjacent to the airport boundary, becoming semi-airborne as a result. Beyond the mound it hit a number of medium sized trees and the right engine struck the boundary fence. The aircraft then passed through the fence, re-landed in a field and both main landing gears collapsed.
It finally stopped after a 244 metres (801 ft) slide across the field, 1,900 metres (6,200 ft) from the second touchdown.

The pod-plane idea has been used for over a year to discredit skepticism of the official story.
That the South Tower plane had no windows is one of several ludicrous claims made by the In Plane Site video, and, like the pod-planes claim, is dismissed by the simplest analysis.
This absurd idea that NORAD had no radar coverage over much of the continental US is distilled from the 9/11 Commission Report.

Predictably, the article makes no mention of evidence that war games were being conducted on 9/11/01...

C-Ring Hole
“The hole was not made by an engine or the nose of Flight 77 pushing through the building’s interior - or a missile - but by the crashing jet’s landing gear, which was ejected beyond the bulk of the wreckage. […] As one of the heaviest and most dense parts of the plane, the landing gear flew farther than any other item in the wreckage and was responsible for puncturing the wall in Ring C.”

Popular Mechanics' "Fact" tries to arouse horror in the reader at the thought of people in the lobbies being burned by flaming jet fuel, but the only "factual" claim here is that (a) the elevator shafts were damaged and (b) burning jet fuel "travelled" down them and caused damage to the lobbies and killed people. We already know that people died, close to 3000 of them, in an act of mass murder, with those who perpetrated this remaining unidentified (the perps were certainly not the 19 Arabs whom the FBI tried to pin the blame on).
The RJ Lee report.
Observed, various metals mostly iron and lead were melted during the wtc event, producing spherical metallic particles due to surface tension.. Particles of materials that had been modified by exposure to high temperatures.
Debunked: Iron Microspheres in 9/11 WTC Dust as Evidence for Thermite
The iron microspheres (as evidence for thermite) were debunked years ago, but they keep coming up. The bottom line is:
* Iron Microspheres form from condensed vaporized iron or from molten iron
* You can melt iron by igniting it with a Bic lighter, if the pieces of iron are thin enough.
* There are several other sources of iron microspheres
* Iron microspheres were expected in the WTC dust
www.metabunk.org...
Iron does not melt until 2800* F which cannot be reached by diffused hydrocarbon fires. Still even higher temperatures were indicated by another discovery documented in RJ Lee's report.
The presence of lead oxide on the surface of mineral wool indicates the existence of extremely high temperatures during the collapse which caused metallic lead to volatilize , oxidize, and finally condense on the surface of the mineral wool.
The RJ Group
The RJ Lee Group report considers samples taken several months after the collapses, and it is certain that torch-cutting of steel beams as part of the cleanup process contributed some, if not all, of the spherules seen in these samples.
No Thermite Found
The R.J. Lee Company did a 2003 study on the dust and didn't find thermitic material. Other sampling of the pulverized dust by United States Geological Survey and RJ Lee did not report any evidence of thermite or explosives. It has been theorized the "thermite material" found was primer paint.
No evidence has ever been found of explosive charges and there are no recordings of a series of very loud explosions that would have been expected with controlled demolition. Furthermore, there is an alternative explanation for the "thermitic material" the sceptical scientists found in the dust - it is just a type of primer paint. It's calculated 1,200,000 tonnes of building materials were pulverised at the World Trade Center and most minerals are present in the dust (not necessarily in a large quantity).
More extensive sampling of the dust has not found any evidence of thermite or explosives, says a report from the US Geological Survey and another from RJ Lee.

911research.wtc7.net...
That message debunks the claim of 9/11 conspiracy theorist that the FBI did not blame Osama bin Laden
In other words, the report of the RJ Lee Group found no evidence of explosives or thermite at WTC ground zero.
Now, for the rest of the story about the RJ Lee Group.
From the Website of the FBI
Intelligence agencies quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by bin Laden’s terrorist organization, and in October 2001, his name was added to the U.S. Department of State’s Most Wanted Terrorists List.
