The wings shattered into small pieces upon impact. Only small scattered pieces remained. Or are you suggesting that one would find intact wings?

Have any of you ever fired a bullet into dirt? Doesn't matter what size or velocity, the crater is amazingly small with no sign of the bullet.

Of course not. We expect to see a plane crash and we dont.
You have failed to prove one did as we all proved one didn't .
Remember, you shouldn't have to convince anyone that a massive commercial airliner crashed, those are usually self explanatory

Now, if you know of an aircraft tailplane that can withstand 53 g, I'd be rather interested. Also, if you know of many people that can survive that without being turned into an unrecognizable pulp, I'd be interested.

So the wings shattered and left no fuel trace at the site the wings shattered? Were the tanks completely empty and scrubbed to remove any trace of fuel in the wings?
Fiberglass only lines the front edge of wings. Graphite and Kevlar-graphite line the back edge of the wings. Everything in-between is still metal framing and aluminum skin. Those never shatter. They bend but never shatter.
Originally posted by ANOKEven 95% of TWA flight 800, that blew up in the air, was recovered including all the bodies. 95% is what the FBI is claiming they recovered of flight 93 coincidently. So why won't they release pictures of the reconstruction? It's not like it's a standard procedure to not release picture of aircraft recovered from crashes...

Even if the people were pulp they would still be visible, including a lot of blood, no? There would still be luggage, clothes, seats, jet fuel, burned grass etc...Wouldn't you think?

Not without starting to break up in mid-air will a Boeing 757 be going at the near speed of sound. "Speed of sound at sea level = 340.29 m / s". I am certain people for miles around would realize they had plane parts scattered all over their property, or dropping in on their houses. I did not see any reports of that happening on 9/11/2001.
While the front end is easily being drawn to gravity at a higher rate, the back end is resisting being drawn straight down by gravity, particularly with the weight and mass of a Boeing 757.
It is that vacuum created under the wings that gives them lift in conjunction with the decreasing power of the engine thrust to allow gravity to bring a plane safely, horizontally down on landing.
