Your question doesnt make any sense. The investigation was done, based on the data recorders, the airfone calls, the statements of the gate agents who handled flight 93, and the ground witnesses, they established that flight 93 was hijacked by Arab terrorists and intentionally flown into the ground during an attempt by the passengers to access the cockpit. Im sure if you got a copy of any of the death certificates for the crew/passengers it states "severe bodily trauma due to aircraft accident" What more do you want?
To this day, small parts of flight 93 continue to be found at the crash site and in each case, these parts are required to be turned over to law enforcement...and will continue to be until the case is officially closed (when we either capture Osama Bin Laden or verify his death).
The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder that were serially tracked as being on that airframe were recovered from the smoking hole in the ground in Pennsylvania. Face it, you are another poster on this board that will never accept what happened that day because no one came and escorted you to the crash site so you could see it for yourself.
This seems to be in conflict with the theory that all the fuel was atomized and that there was no secondary burn,
...This would also suggest that human remains would have been more than the size of teeth.
I seek the truth. If I cannot see the pictures, then another independent investigator should be able to view them to confirm the facts.
I have never seen any forensic reports regarding this crash posted anywhere.
I find it very odd (disrespectful, considering who he is), that he would say "...after 20 minutes I stopped being coroner because there were no bodies..." regardless of context. "...It became like a giant funeral service..." is a strange phrase for a coroner to say, considering they are not men/women "of the cloth" as it were.
First, he found no bodies. Then he identified bodies he did not find when first arriving at the scene. He does not say where they were when he found them. Obviously, not at any crash scene, because he says they were not there. Where did they suddenly arrive from and when?
I would be curious how he took DNA samples

And there were remains larger than the size of teeth (part of a spine with three vertabrae attached, jawbone etc)
Why an "independant" investigator? Because near as I can tell, the definition of "independant" on this board means someone who believe the government conspired to pull off 9/11.
Why is it disrespectful? What is the job of a coroner? To determine cause of death, and when he walked around seeing the pitifully small pieces of bone and tissue that used to be human beings, it was rather obvious what the cause of death was going to be. I dont find that odd in the slightest.

Depends on what type of body fragment was found. Tissue or bone..not hard to do a google search to find some information about the identification efforts.

If there was anything still burning after the initial explosion we should see signs of secondary burns in the photos, as well as fuel. If there was indeed anything left burning at all, we should have seen the more traditional dark and greasy smoke plume expected at crash-sites. If clothing was still burning, as claimed, this would suggest at least limb-sized fragments contained within the burning clothing.
They only found skeletal parts? How did they manage to ID those, particularly with DNA or dental records? Jawbones do not always have the teeth in them. Why only skeletal parts? What happened to any soft tissue that should have been on the jawbone and vertebrae? When and where did they find only skeletal parts?
That is how science testing is conducted. No reputable scientiest takes the word of any other scientist at face value. Mortician Miller does not appear to be like an expert in positive identification, because he does not appear to be versed in forensic or genetic science. It takes a geneticist to run DNA testing, and take samples when there is no soft tissue. Then it depends on whether the DNA is done by blood draw, swab testing, blood splatters, saliva on stamps, etc
The coroner's assessment came yesterday as he confirmed that the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory has used DNA samples to match recovered remains with the last of 40 crew members and passengers aboard the hijacked jetliner 14 weeks ago when it slammed into a recovered strip mine at around 500 mph
If it was a bureaucratic facility, independent testing absolutely needs to be done, particularly in a case labeled Flight 93.
Since you brought it up, I would have thought you would have researched exactly what was done and credentials of the person stated to have done all that ID work. Plus, provided valid evidence the work was done as stated.
A crime scene is not a funeral service, and should never be confused as such. Clearly his investigative objectivity is lost. As a coroner, it his job is to gather the bodies, however fragmented they may be, and to investigate rigorously. Seems to me he was already thinking ahead to profits for his private business, not to his duties as a public official.

Just because the victims were obviously in a plane crash, does not mean that this is how they died. If they were poisoned before-hand for example, it would be his duty to determine that. This is elementary. If a corpse is found in a burning house, it does not mean the fire is the cause or manner of death
One fact about DNA. Burned soft tissue makes it impossible to test DNA. Same with bone marrow when that is compromised by higher heat (true temperature reading at the source). That is why cremated bodies cannot be tested for DNA. Yet, it does not take nearly the BTUS of cremation to completely compromise the testable properties of DNA throughout a body.

They didnt pull any bones out of this hole. Coz no plane crashed in Shanksville

Did I say they only found skeletal parts? NO, I gave examples of parts they did find. If you had bothered to read the rest of the thread I also posted part of a statement from one of the first people on the scene who found "human tissue"
[Im guessing that Zaphod, myself and a few others are the only ones that do any research other than from conspiracy sites.

If you are a citizen of the United States and you absolutely hate our government and those of us who work for it....why do you still live here? If you are not a citizen of the United States, then with all due respect why should we care about your opinion?

He did coordinate the recovery of the remains and the processing for their shipment to the AFIP for identification. He made no profits from his job.
Well since the photos show a large chunk of the woods were burned and we have statements of first responders about "pools of jet fuel" what is your point with that statement? And as for the reports about the clothing...that should be the first hint and a half that there was LUGGAGE that came apart too.
Investigators who recovered remains from the Shanksville-area crash site brought possible stab wounds and lacerations to the attention of FBI pathologists, Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller said yesterday. But the FBI has responded that "the catastrophic nature of the crash and fragmentation" left them unable to draw conclusions, Miller said.
I can only speak for myself. You would be guessing wrong concerning me.
Using a government facility and no other testing is enough validation for you? It is not for me. But then I am studied in the sciences - particularly genetics.
That is is a certainly an obvious strawman argument when running out of options to validate points and counterpoints.
Science validation requires independent testing by well more than one source. That is because too many people, calling themselves scientists, have personal agendas, such as having their names placed on results, without desiring any validation or dismissal of results from anyone else independently testing those results.
Since the Bush administration is highly suspect, having a US federal bureaucrat agency do the testing, is considered a conflict of interest in a criminal case.
NO government source can be trusted: Look at the entire US government since 9-11: Not ONE person or agency has had the nerve to tell the truth. It is all a rehash of the big LIE
The air pirates have been identified as Ziad Jarrah, Ahmed Al Haznawi, Saeed Al Ghamdi and Ahmed Al Nami -- but not so positively identified that officials will list the names in official records.
I object to this statement, which has nothing directly to do with determining the facts. Have you lost your own objectivity, that if presented with evidence you would not change your own opinion? There are plenty of red-blooded Americans who want questions answered, to restore a tarnished faith.
