3-forgotten again that 95% of the plane was recovered again? Forget about the tree fires again? Forget about the human remains again?

Please, no one has to live near any landfill or scrapyard to get all types of metal scraps in their urban or suburban yards or on their land.
In rural areas, we often get an overabundance of it, depending on who is putting in what housing development and taking our rural land away. Galvanized for HVAC ductwork ends up on our land all the time. It's is wide open, and winds quite often winds have high velocity quite capable of taking light metal scrap and moving it far and away to our land.

Where did I claim to have proof? Is this your only question?
The only evidence is that there's a scrap yard in the area.

I wouldnt even go that far because i have yet to see a picture in context with the crater that show any metal what so ever.

I had originally said the site was used as a dump. Obviously someone dumped scrap metal there, because there was NO airplane.

IvanZana, speaking only from the viewpoint of a potential juror in any court case, with expert testimony coupled with what you have presented, I personally believe you have a very strong circumstantial case, which could very probably be won.

I never explicitly stated that there was a scrapyard exactly at any location.
There was such a jet in the vicinity — a Dassault Falcon 20 business jet owned by the VF Corp. of Greensboro, N.C., an apparel company that markets Wrangler jeans and other brands. The VF plane was flying into Johnstown-Cambria airport, 20 miles north of Shanksville. According to David Newell, VF's director of aviation and travel, the FAA's Cleveland Center contacted copilot Yates Gladwell when the Falcon was at an altitude "in the neighborhood of 3000 to 4000 ft." — not 34,000 ft. "They were in a descent already going into Johnstown," Newell adds. "The FAA asked them to investigate and they did. They got down within 1500 ft. of the ground when they circled. They saw a hole in the ground with smoke coming out of it. They pinpointed the location and then continued on." Reached by PM, Gladwell confirmed this account but, concerned about ongoing harassment by conspiracy theorists, asked not to be quoted directly.
FACT: Experts on the scene tell PM that a fan from one of the engines was recovered in a catchment basin, downhill from the crash site. Jeff Reinbold, the National Park Service representative responsible for the Flight 93 National Memorial, confirms the direction and distance from the crash site to the basin: just over 300 yards south, which means the fan landed in the direction the jet was traveling. "It's not unusual for an engine to move or tumble across the ground," says Michael K. Hynes, an airline accident expert who investigated the crash of TWA Flight 800 out of New York City in 1996. "When you have very high velocities, 500 mph or more," Hynes says, "you are talking about 700 to 800 ft. per second. For something to hit the ground with that kind of energy, it would only take a few seconds to bounce up and travel 300 yards." Numerous crash analysts contacted by PM concur.

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.
