Without those two things, you need to accept the simple explanation and move on. There is nothing strange of mysterious at all about what happened in either crash.

Firstly, almost no perimeter columns failed from the impacts. Secondly, the fuselage already opened up a big enough hole for the tail to sail right through:

We're not going to do the no-plane argument again. There are tons of other no-plane threads to contribute to.

Wrong.
The exterior was steel clad with an aluminum facade.
Better re-think your hypothesis huh?

Basically you're saying you are going to give me your hypothesis, but don't dare question it? That's pretty cowardly in my opinion.

Oh I need to accept it. Is that right? Your response is very nothing to see here folks, move along.

The bulk of the airplane at Shanksville buried itself into the ground, but there were also plenty of small pieces scattered over the general area of the crash site.

Nope, don't need to rethink at all. It doesn't matter as what you are seeing in the video is aluminum.

I was just correcting your mistake and you say it doesn't matter?

I think he was referring to there not being a plane in PA, not NYC.
If a drinking straw can go through a tree trunk, then its plausible that somehow the entire plane is buried in the dirt.

Not sure I follow. Where did the tail sail through?

What's next? Why was AF 447's tail (vertical stabilizer) recovered virtually intact and none of the tail sections of crashes on 9/11 were recovered?
Psssst....... It has to do with an intact aircraft striking a solid object versus a mid-air breakup.

Unlike aluminum, which bends, carbon fiber shatters into small pieces upon impact.
The resin in the carbon fiber is flammable. When ignited, the resin will burn away, leaving the carbon cloth.
When UA175's tailfin struck the South Tower, it shattered and left a mark (visible in photos on this thread). The shattered pieces were engulfed in the fireball and drifted away with the wind.
When UA93's tailfin impacted the ground, it also shattered and left a mark.
The shattered pieces were carried aloft in the mushroom cloud and drifted downwind, scattering carborn fragments from the crash site to Indian Lake.
