I do not know where the moronic idea came from that the plane liquified. And it has never been mentioned that the bodies were all found intact.

So to sum this up, you are trying to argue that the "official claim" that the plane was buried under the crater
is a lie because if it had been true then the media would have reported it
but when pushed to show this "official claim" most of what you refer to comes from the media
and add to that no official sources has definitievly described the ratio of plane remains and how they were dispursed.
You like to cite the volunteer Ambassadors at the memorial site
until you find that the only way to give their words weight to your argument is to actually ignore what they are saying
or claim that they misspoke.
"Just to give you a little thumbnail sketch, if you came in this way, you might have passed a little junk yard up on the top of the hill here? There were two fellows working in the junk yard that day. They attest to the fact that the plane come over them. By that time, it was less than 100 feet off the ground. It was flying full-bore, 560 mph and it was upside-down.
It came right down this ridge here and if you can see way back in the field, you can see an American flag... the plane crashed between there and the woods back there.
This is an old strip in here and had we been here back in the 60's, we'd be about 50 feet down. After they got through stripping the mines, they backfilled it and brought it back up to even. That's why you don't see any trees around here, because it's all been stripped.
That down there was the end of the mine and it became a hard rock wall again. They dug down here and then they filled it back up again, so this was still rock.
The plane came in at about a 40 degree angle, going 560 mph, hit that soft ground, slammed into that rocky wall and completely disitegrated. Parts of the cockpit broke off and went back into the woods, but the rest of it went straight down and the ground came in around it, so the actual hole wasn't very large. When the FBI went in for parts, body parts and what not, 35 to 40 feet down in the ground."
The Purdue study made no mention of this, and you read the interviews of rescue and recovery workers they describe boby "parts" scattered everywhere within the building.

Yes, I believe the core of the OP argument was something like - the "official claim" was that most or the plurality of the remains of the aircraft involved in Flight 93 was buried deep beneath the impact crater, however, this is obviously a lie since if that had been the case, the media would have covered this supposed anamoly extensively, however, since it did not, the "official claim" must not be true and ergo no plane crashed at Shanksville.
When I pressed the original poster to produce evidence of the "official claim" he was not able to produce anything, but, in lieu of any official proclamation or documentation proceeded to produce - media reports and therefore negating the original argument.
It has now been reduced to trying to make an exact determination as to the quantity of remains extracted from the impact crater versus the amount retrieved from the surrounding landscape ... if say, it is determined that 32.8% of the remains are retrieved from an embedded state than that is in the realm of possibility, however, if we say that 41.3% was retrieved from embeddment than that is undeniable proof of an aritificated crash scene

No, I do not agree at all. I do not know that it is unprecedented.
All plane crashes, by their nature, are unprecedented. No two are alike. They are each and everyone of them independent events.
Do you not notice that within your own post you note the media reports that portions of the plane were excavated from the crash site and then note that the media did not report it? Isn't this a little bit of a contradiction?
As for what is official - I would be looking for a written report from the authorities in charge of the recovery.
Not Wally Miller, he was the county coroner and as knowledgeable as he was about recover the remains of the victims, I don't know that he would have been precisely noting each piece of plane remains.

Well, I am glad to see you finally conceded that the media didn't "skip it"
they just had different editorial priorities than you
and that you finally concede that there is no "official claim"

Ok 40 degrees. At over 500 mph.
The point was that there is not a hard and fast forumla for predicting behavior that Flight 93 violated.

Nobody else seems to think it the least bit unusual that a large plane crashing at nearly right angles into the ground at near 600 miles per hour should embedded some, most, alot of its physicallity into the earth. You would also appear to believe that there is some hard and fast formula for determining crash site geography for each and every impact and that any variation from the calculus of that formula is a red flag denoting an attempt to decieve.

Wrong, hooper.
It'se very difficult for you to predict what the alleged Flight UA93 should have done.
You couldn't even get the alleged crash angle correct.
Try again.

No, that is the problem - a lot of people don't think that.

They understand that when you crash a plane into the ground at a very steep angle and at very, very high speed that there isn't going to be much left that is recognizable as a plane. It is quite simple to understand and everybody does.
