The airplane was doomed, once the Take-off was started.

It was still flying untill it hit the pole, thats what brought it down.

It was going down anyway, and happened to hit the pole before the ground. Big mystery there.

So i guess AA77 was a miracle plane that could not be harmed by hitting light poles (as the official story states).

If you truly were an NSA analyst, you would have done your research and realized how much time passed between the time the plane hit the pole, and when it impacted the building.
Now, calculate the plane speed...
Using simple math, calculate the time between hitting pole and the building.

Seriously, Gavron, what's your point? This thread is about Flight 93 and you're dragging Flight AA77s speed into it?

Check the distance the pole was from the building...

Let's look at UAL 585, in Colorado Springs, CO....forget the year....and there was USAir in Pittsburgh.....both virtually straight-in crashes, although not at the speeds seen in UAL 93.

At the risk of staying 'off-topic'.....the NW crash, in Detroit.....look, the crew were distracted, during their check-list....what was then called a 'Taxi Checklist'
Must be like Karate! What you are saying is where is the debris from the hand breaking the concrete when the Karate hand smashes the stack! You know a solid understanding in physics would help you understand reality. (note; there was debris from the wing dropped near impact with at least one post) howthingswork.virginia.edu...

Nice way to aviod the fact that airliner wings would be damaged by hitting light poles.
So again where is the wing or airframe debris that would be at the light poles?
A low-flying United States military jet on a training flight over the craggy Dolomite mountains here cut the cable of a ski lift today, sending a cable car plunging 260 feet into a snowy meadow and killing everyone aboard.
The authorities said 20 bodies had been recovered from the wreckage on a slope just south of this Alpine hamlet.
The Marine Corps plane made an emergency landing safely, and none of the four crew members were injured, a Marine spokesman said. query.nytimes.com...

Flight 77's wing was going 534 mph hits a BREAKAWAY lamppost which would barely injure a VW going 45 mph

Well lets look at Payne Stewarts Learjet that crashed virtually straight in at very high speed.
The crater was almost as big the crater that was suppoed to be from a 757 of Flight 93.
There were several parts that survived, so where is the parts form Flight 93 that would have survived?

Thanks for your completely uninformed post.
Clearly, you haven't driven a VW Beetle for any length of time, nor smashed while driving one of them.
A VW Beetle travelling at 45 mph, hitting one of those light posts would suffer enough damage to probably write the car off. It would barely be economically viable to fix the damage to front end.
