Even with the relatively large size of the 747, there's not enough inertia to be converted into the energy required to "vaporize" the heavy metal in engine components or the giant turbines themselves.

By the spring of 2002, all families of Flight 93 victims received some remains that were identified as their loved ones, said Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller.

Hey, let's starts with the lies of the truth movement.
False claims of thermite with experiments never performed in an inert atmosphere. Experiments who's results were never reproduce.
Results improperly published and peer reviewed in a pay for pay magazine
You know that's been explained many times. They didn't perform the tests in an inert atmosphere because LLNL didn't perform their tests in an inert atmosphere. They wanted to compare the results.
Showing "thermite" burned in dust samples collected by mail years after 9/11 in an inert atmosphere would prove the presence of thermite, Funny jones never conducted the experiment. Didn't individuals that were pushing the thermite claim they would conduct the experiments in an inert atmosphere. Where are those results published?
You've missed the point. LLNL conducted experiments with nanothermite igniting it in a normal atmosphere. Jones replicated the experiment to compare results.

The crash on the coast; as you said, they were able to find the gun, with the fingers still on it. An airsickness bag, and without looking it up, based on an admittedly rudimentary knowledge of physics, they probably were able to find the majority of the engines and a good portion in total of the fuselage or wings/tail section.

9/11 and Niel Degrass Tyson taught me my conspiracy theory litmus test...
Befire you buy into any conspiracy. Ask yourself if you can think of an easier , cheaper and less risky way to achieve the same proposed goal...
If 911 was staged as an excuse for the war in Afghanistan/Iraq, could they have come up with an easier excuse for the war??
Wouldn't blowing up a daycare in a hand full of states on the same day achieve the same goal for pittance of what staging 911 would cost???

Just curious, at one time there was a pic from google earth from before the crash the showed a crater that resembled the one that is in all the pics, looking like the wings cut the earth, etc. Was this proven fake?

Not sure what you're on about.
Nanothermite was found in dust around the city by numerous different independent researchers, who were not paid for their work.

As to my inherent lack of knowledge in plane crashes;
What brings alot of my attention to Shanksville, is the scene, and how it looks nothing like any other plane crash I've ever seen.
Even with the relatively large size of the 747, there's not enough inertia to be converted into the energy required to "vaporize" the heavy metal in engine components or the giant turbines themselves.
My grandfather was in a Liberator in the second biggun' and so I grew up looking into them alot. I've seen a plethora of images of inverted crashes, shot down planes, plane collisions, intentional groundings, you name it. I have yet to see one single plane crash where there is not a single piece of overly large debris in the immediate area.
If I were a physics expert, I would break down the weight of the engines, the energy needed to throw them any distance, the angle at which it would have happened, and yadda yadda, but alas. I'm but a chef.
And with that- I go to work. I'll check back in afterwards, and possibly during service.

Yes but human beings are horrible witnesses and even more so in high stress situations...and 2 planes had just hit the towers it doesn't get more high stress than that.
The real question is why pull off that big of an operation, when you could have pulled off far easier scemes and still have the same result..
To find the answer to that question, you must ask one of those who planned the operation from the beginning. I doubt very much anybody posting here was involved in the planning or execution.
And, not being a commercial pilot nor a plane expert, I could only guess that cruising speed is higher than a speed gained at a low elevation as what was reported with flight 93
