Any guesses for how large the debris field was for Malaysia Airlines Flight 17? about 10 miles.
It was an intercontinental flight, cruising altitude a bit higher. The only way to get parts of the plane land so far from each other is for the displacement to take place at flying altitude.
Debunking Myths About United Flight 93

FACT: Wallace Miller, Somerset County coroner, tells PM no body parts were found in Indian Lake. Human remains were confined to a 70-acre area directly surrounding the crash site. Paper and tiny scraps of sheetmetal, however, did land in the lake. "Very light debris will fly into the air, because of the concussion," says former National Transportation Safety Board investigator Matthew McCormick. Indian Lake is less than 1.5 miles southeast of the impact crater—not 6 miles—easily within range of debris blasted skyward by the heat of the explosion from the crash. And the wind that day was northwesterly, at 9 to 12 mph, which means it was blowing from the northwest—toward Indian Lake.

I like to try and keep things simple and too the point. I have drudged through the sewers around this topic for long enough. I do not hold every detailed thread of the 9/11 tapestry, but seen enough to confidently call out Mr Richard Bruce Cheney as a prime suspect of 9/11.
I get your point, to make such allegations does require a solid, air tight case. To put together such a case is a lot of work and will need to inform a lot of people. It will also require a big commitment and big resources from those concerned.
With this thread my aim is to help those going through the 9/11 head bangers, already been there. And in some ways still stuck there too. I am open to wanting a clearer picture on it all, not sure about the practicability of it all.
On March 3, 1991, 737-200 Flight 585 was on final approach to Colorado Springs Municipal Airport from Stapleton when it spun out of control, banking right, then rolled upside down before entering a downward spiral to the right. The aircraft disintegrated when it hit the ground All 20 passengers and 5 crew were killed.[6]
There are eyewitness reports on some of the truther sites of wreckage found up to 8 miles away. Other reports mention 2 to 3 miles away, that is what I remember hearing from the tv reports on the scene that day. I can understand if some of the locals want to keep their heroes.
In the late fall of 2001, as Shaler and his colleagues were engaged in the slow work of conducting DNA tests on the thousands of fragments from Ground Zero, pathologists at the Pennsylvania and Pentagon sites were moving much more quickly. Many of the remains were burned and badly damaged, but identifiable. In Pennsylvania, Somerset County coroner Wallace E. Miller and his team scoured the "halo"—the field and woods surrounding the crater left when United Airlines Flight 93 plunged into the ground. The debris was everywhere. Trees were draped with scraps of luggage, clothing, bits of the fuselage and human remains. Walking through the crash site in the days after the attacks, Miller's eye caught a flash of light 20 feet up in the branches of a hemlock tree. "I only noticed it because the sun happened to hit it at just the right angle," he says. A tree climber brought it down. It was a single tooth with a silver filling. Eventually it was matched to one of the passengers.
About 250 workers will make another search today in the area where United Flight 93 crashed, believing high winds and heavy rains may have shaken additional evidence out of the trees.
