I have circled the areas in question in red, you can clearly see the raised sides of a round impact crater. Now if an airliner struck this spot, the nose would have hit first, and the wings second. The center part of the crater would have formed before the "wing scars" so that the entire crater would be one large indention in the ground. The raised sides of the round impact crater make it seem that it was created AFTER the scar

Very good then, you see the round impact crater! I would be interested in John Lear's assessment as to your opinion of it's origin.
Do you have any comments on the original video linked to in the first post of this thread, ie. do you think the scar was there before the "crash?"

Maybe it was there, but 7 years seems too long for it to be there prior and none to notice.
And neither of you have addressed the simple fact that there is unburnt, unbroken grass growing out of a weathered scar where the wings/engines/fueltanks supposedly hit. Why are you avoiding this observation?

Some people have tried to explain this away as being the result of "atomized fuel." That the force of the impact was so great the fuel became atomized and detonated all at once above the crash site.
I have been trying to ascertain the direction of the impact in relation to the photos because I don't see how it matches up with the burn scar in the woods.

The un-burnt or un-scorched ground explained away by atomized fuel still does not explain why the grass in the scar is unbroken or the dirt in the scar is weathered and undisturbed.

I suggest you take another look at Ivan's photo again. The one with the fire dudes in the background.
The grass is in the foreground, outside the impact scar.
The dirt is freshly dug up.

I don't see any grass in the scar from the wing. All I see is grass in between the photographer and the impact point.
If the ground was undisturbed, there would still be grass there.

Great idea, MikeVet, let's take another look. I have circled the scar that is the subject of this thread in red. This is supposed to be the scar formed from impact of the wing.
Please note the undamaged blades of grass growing out of this area, please not that the dirt there looks like it has been undisturbed and weathered for quite some time.
The green arrows point to the side of the round impact crater for reference.

Nope, the only grass inside the wing impact area is at 1 o'clock in your red rectangle. Click on Ivan's photo and open in a new window. Now zoom to 200% That clump is half burned up. All the other grass is outside the impact area.
This happened in September. The ground was dry - no rains. Don't believe me? Then explain all the dry grass in zoomed out views. The dirt isn't weathered. It's dry and has been dug up by the wing.
