Will you, please, entertain the idea that maybe AAL77 was intentionally flown into the Pentagon? By suicider hi-jackers???

Lets see, radar tracks, wreckage, witnesses, human remains and personal effects recovered from the crash site......

Hate to break it to you Ultima, but Coroner testimony works pretty well in a court proceeding, and in this case, the coroner DEFINITELY saw human remains that were recovered and maintained with a chain of custody until their identification.
Wallace Miller, the coroner of Somerset County, is one of the first people to arrive at the Flight 93 crash scene. However, he is surprised by the absence of human remains there. He later says, “If you didn’t know, you would have thought no one was on the plane. You would have thought they dropped them off somewhere.” [Longman, 2002, pp. 217] The only recognizable body part he sees is a piece of spinal cord with five vertebrae attached. He will later tell Australian newspaper The Age, “I’ve seen a lot of highway fatalities where there’s fragmentation. The interesting thing about this particular case is that I haven’t, to this day, 11 months later, seen any single drop of blood. Not a drop.” [Age (Melbourne), 9/9/2002] Dave Fox, a former firefighter, also arrives early at the crash scene, but sees just three chunks of human tissue. He says, “You knew there were people there, but you couldn’t see them.” [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9/11/2002] Yet, in the following weeks, hundreds of searchers are able to find about 1,500 scorched human tissue samples, weighing less than 600 pounds—approximately eight percent of the total body mass on Flight 93. Months after 9/11, more remains are found in a secluded cabin, several hundred yards from the crash site.
By December 19, the remains of all 40 passengers and crew from Flight 93 have been identified, using fingerprints, dental records, and DNA. Investigators have, by a process of elimination, also been able to isolate genetic profiles of the four hijackers.

Then tell me how DNA evidence was extracted? If the blood was "vaporized".

Lets see.
1. No reports or evidence to match wreckage to flight 93.
2. Witnesses reports would not hold up in court.
3. No evidence that bodies from the planes were at Shanksville.

Yes it is funny how the impact and fire was enough to destroy the plane but bodies and DNA survived.
Sorry but you cannot have it both ways.

For some reason known only unto him, Ultima1 keeps making these illogical claims.

How could the DFDR and CVR be re-created, even though the chain of custody is well-documented??

Austrian officials said most of the 66 bodies so far recovered were so badly burned, the remains would require DNA testing and that it would take at least three days to get the results of each test.
The intensity of the fire left the bodies badly charred and even tattoos and scars could no longer be seen, chief forensic pathologist Edith Tutsch-Bauer said...
Bodies and remains were stuck among parts of the melted train, ski clothes, boots and other equipment. The floor of the train melted, in temperatures estimated at over 1,000 degrees centigrade.

You don't need blood to extract DNA. And heat sufficient to melt aluminum wouldn't necessarily destroy the bodies.
