It hit the ground and penetrated into the ground. Whether 20, 30 or even 80 percent of the wreckage ended up in the crater, no one will ever know for sure, they can only estimate. No one sat there with a scale to weigh each piece when it was recovered to keep track of how much was in the crater and how much was around the crater.

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.

Sorry, I know how you skeptics don't understand how to use hyperlinks in the OP. But just to show you were one hyperlink leads to:

Now, is your skeptic buddy 'Reheat' a liar?

OK, just to set the record straight your "official claim" is from an anonymous poster on a internet forum? And based on that, we should imprison and or execute various elected officials and government employees? Just trying to get this straight.

Man I thought I had you on ignore? And for good reason.
I just got through talking about how skeptics aren't smart enough to check all the hyperlinks in OPs.

I believe a large section of it ended up in that crater when it crashed. Whether it was 40...50...or 60 percent of the wreckage (or more) I do not know, I wasnt there to dig it out. I have to rely on the reports from the people that were

Im not getting hung up on percentages like some posters do. Nor do I believe that the plane dug itself a hole and pulled the dirt in on top of it to bury itself.

But I do commend Tezza for finally recognizing that I am an expert on the events of that day.

Listen, either post some real reference to some real official making some real claim about what was buried and what was not
or plain admit that you are just cobbling bits and pieces of half statements together with your own "estimates" in order to produce some strawman that you can look big trying disprove.

So you think she literally meant 80% of Flight 93 was laying on top of the crater? Wow. Why did they excavate down to 45 feet if most of the plane was laying on top of the crater?
Do you think maybe she mispoke a little and meant to say "was in the ground" instead of "in the crater," kind of like when you skeptics say the hole in the field even though there was only a crater?

You calling her a liar?

What kind of strawman do you think I'm trying to make that's not the official claim?

Case closed. Now you are claiming that the woman volunteer mispoke?

How about she didn't choose the correct choice of words since? Sorry to get your panties in a twist. Or do you see 80% of a 757 laying on top of the crater? Case reopened.

First tell me how something, anything, lays "on top" of a crater?
No official of the US or State government ever made a definitive and oficial claim as to what percentage...
The woman, a local volunteer at the memorial site, said in YOUR post that 80% was found in the crater.

Same way it lays on top of the ground.

So what *if* they do in fact that 80% (or "most") of Flight 93 was buried. Would you concede that the government is lying?

Do see 80% of a 757 "in" the crater?

Did I see 80% in the crater, no, you see I wasn't there. Were you there on 9/11/2001? Or is everything you are saying based on your analysis of a very few photos, most taken at a distance?

Too afraid to answer? Let me repeat the simple question:
So what *if* they do in fact that 80% (or "most") of Flight 93 was buried. Would you concede that the government is lying?

Those along with this nice closeup photos like these:
Along with all the witness accounts of them saying no plane was in the crater.
The Indian Lake Witness
There is one witness that is clearly lying. He is John Fleegle, the manager of the Indian Lake Marina that is THREE MILES away from the crash site:
Fleegle had just returned to the marina to get fuel for a boat that had run out of gas when Carol Delasko called him into the drydock barn to watch news of the World Trade Center attack.
“All of a sudden the lights flickered and we joked that maybe they were coming for us. Then we heard engines screaming close overhead. The building shook. We ran out, heard the explosion and saw a fireball mushroom,” said Fleegle, pointing to a clearing on a ridge at the far end of the lake.
Fleegle, Brant and a fellow marina worker, Tom Spinelli, jumped in a truck and rushed to the crash site. (13)
This statement is fine as it is, but in another report he makes statements that show he is lying:
"Was standing watching on TV and the lights flickered in the building. About that time we heard the engines roar and we took off out of the building. As we were coming up from the office out through the building, the ground shook and we heard a big "boom", looked over and saw the big ball of fire up in the air.
Like I said, probably within, within 45 seconds or a minute of impact, we were there. We were there before any fireman, any paramedics, or anybody; we were on site. When we got there, there was a plane flying up above and he was smart, he flew straight for the sun, so you couldn't, you couldn't look at it and see exactly what type of plane, or if it was a fighter or what it was. But we caught a glimpse of it and as he was swinging, he was basically traveling in the same direction as the plane."
Since the Indian Lake Marina is three miles away from the crash site, how could he have arrived within one minute of the crash? No, he did not arrive before anyone else. As we have already learned, there were people who lived within blocks of the crash who were there before him, and there were even two people working in the area who actually witnessed the crash. So he is clearly lying.

Are you trying to say that if the government proposes an official report stating that 80% or Most of the plane was embedded in the aircraft impact crater zone would I call them liars? Is that what you are trying to say?
And stop with the total BS that witnesses said that there was no plane in the crater, you are embarrasing yourself. There were also no bodies there either, just plane, and God bless them, body parts.
"It didn't look like a plane crash because there was nothing that looked like a plane," Barron said.
"If they hadn’t told us a plane had wrecked, you wouldn’t have known," Delano said.
...said Nina Lensbouer..."But I got there and there was nothing, nothing there but charcoal. Instantly, it was charcoal."
Mark Stahl of Somerset, who went to the scene immediately afterwards, says, "There’s a crater gorged in the earth, the plane is pretty much disintegrated. There’s nothing left but scorched trees."
“You couldn’t see nothing,” said Nick Tweardy, 20, of Stonycreek Township. “We couldn’t tell what we were looking at. There’s just a huge crater in the woods.”
“There was no plane,” Ernie Stull, mayor of Shanksville, told German television in March 2003:
“My sister and a good friend of mine were the first ones there,” Stull said. “They were standing on a street corner in Shanksville talking. Their car was nearby, so they were the first here—and the fire department came. Everyone was puzzled, because the call had been that a plane had crashed. But there was no plane.”
“They had been sent here because of a crash, but there was no plane?” the reporter asked.
“No. Nothing. Only this hole.”
