An investigator for the board, Chauncey Twine, said the airplane crashed at an 80-degree angle, clipping trees and landing amid rocks and boulders at 3:15. An explosion followed, sending flames higher than treetops, residents said.
''If the angle of descent was not as great,'' Mr. Twine said, ''the fire would have spread. By impacting at that angle, it was fairly contained.''

Where are the foam trucks? I thought a 757 with JET FUEL crashed there? Looks like a small bomb landed there.

Plane impacting at high speed/high angle causes the fuel tanks to ruture
and fuel to aerosolize. Impact force causes aerosol cloud to be be behind
the main crash site. The fuel vapor rapidly burns off - looks scary.

1) where did the plane that they say crashed there actually end up?
2) Where did the pieces of the plane they pulled out of the crater come from?
3) If the plane was shot down as some say, where was it shot down? (I do believe it was shot down btw).
So "80% of UA93 burrowed," but most of the fuel didn't???

Who said 80% of UA93 burrowed?
Who said most of the fuel didn't?
That other guy seemed to suggest that it didn't with his aerosolized theory.

How much of that plane burrowed underground?

Doesn't really look like the trees are burnt in the images, it looks like a fee trees that have been dead for a while with a cluster of gray-green conifers that give the area that 'burnt' look.
Wonder what is actually smoking at the ground.
