OK I'll dig for it. But in the meantime, do you agree that 80% of a 757 was buried under that shallow crater at Shanks?

No, why would I agree or even disagree with anything? And when and how did it become a "shallow" crater? Based on what standard for craters? How deep should it be or not be? And what do you mean "under" the crater? If some of the material of the plane is mixed in with the displaced earth does this qualify or not qualify as "buried"?

I just want to know if you think a claim of 80% of a 757 being buried under that 10ft-deep (i.e. shallow) crater (meaning they have to dig down through the crater) is absurd or not. It's just a simple question. Not sure why you seem to be avoiding it at all costs.

How can that be? Flight 77 crashed into a fortified building and burned up to hardly anything, yet its passengers bodies remained intact, but Flight 93 nose-dived it soft ground and mostly buried itself with 95% of the plane supposedly being recovered, but it shredded its passengers to a mere 8% of total mass? Even YOU can't believe that!

So if you don't think it's absurd, then if 80% of Flight 93 buried itself underground, isn't it logical that most of the passengers buried down with the plane wreckage too?

Similar crash? The pilot intentionally crashed it at high speed? I'm not postive, but am pretty sure he wasnt playing kamikaze. The guys of Flight 93 were.

If you cannot understand that the forces that acted upon the bodies of the passengers, crews and hijackers of flight 77 were much less than those of Flight 93, then it is pointless to continue the conversation.
Flight 93, although it crashed into "soft" dirt, encountered a hell of a lot more resistance and did much more destruction to the human beings on board.
Flight 93 crammed itself into a hole less than the length of its fuselage.

First, you have to really let go of this "buried" fantasy. Somehow or another you have it in your mind that somebody in the government told you that the plane was buried under the crater. I think you may have gotten lost in your own semantical maze.

I do not know where the moronic idea came from that the plane liquified.
FACT: When American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon's exterior wall, Ring E, it created a hole approximately 75 ft. wide, according to the ASCE Pentagon Building Performance Report.
What was left of the plane flowed into the structure in a state closer to a liquid than a solid mass.

And it has never been mentioned that the bodies were all found intact.
