This is the only plane crash I have ever seen where you wouldn't know it was a plane crash unless someone told you.
I'm satisfied with the photos because they are the best photos of the crash...
Proving that this plane crash is an anomaly...

OH WAIT!@
ONLY 9/11 has your interest???
Secondly, if I understand you correctly, you're indicating that the extent of the fuel tanks within the wings roughly coincides with the largest part of the 'wing imprint' crater. I take it that you're saying that the fuel exploding in the wing tanks is what made the crater (along with the momentum from impact), which is why the crater is not the same depth all the way along.
But others on this site (I think it was thedman, but would have to check) made comment that the fuel was thrown from the impact, landing among the trees, which explains why there was unburnt grass along its length around the crater.
Also, I think the crater tapering out towards the outer edges would presumably be from the 'swept wing' design that hooper spoke of earlier in this thread, and not from the fuel in the wings exploding...

Quotes
John Fleegle, a manager at the Indian Lake Marina about 1.5 miles from where Flight 93 crashes, is indoors with some colleagues, watching the televised coverage of the World Trade Center attack. Then, as he later describes, “All of a sudden the lights flickered and we joked that maybe they were coming for us. [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9/14/2001; Lappe and Marshall, 2004, pp. 35-36]
Another local resident, Val McClatchey, will report her lights and phone going out around the time of the crash. [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9/11/2002]
According to Barry Lichty, the mayor of Indian Lake Borough, the town’s electricity goes out around this time. He later learns that the plane crash had disrupted service to the borough. [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9/12/2001]
Fleegle will be told that what happened means Flight 93 “was shot down.” A man there who says he is a retired Air Force officer will tell Fleegle, “When your lights flickered, [it was because] they zap the radar frequency on everything before they shoot. Your lights didn’t flicker from the impact—your lights flickered because they zapped the radar system before they shot it.”
William “Buck” Kernan, a retired four-star Army general, will dispute this claim, saying, “Regarding an aircraft engaging an airborne target having an electrical disruption on the ground, no, this would not be a result of lock on or any electromagnetic pulsing.” [Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 9/14/2001; Lappe and Marshall, 2004, pp. 35-36]

No grass remained undisturbed.
You're lying if you claim it did.

Because, if you look HARD enough, "you" may find little inconsistencies that pique your interest.

Do you plan on discussing the forces acting on an inverted aircraft again? The last time we were discussing it you replaced your inaccurate illustration with a generic force vector drawing, also inaccurate.

Ditto. Rewey, please let's move on to Part Two. This thread has now gone on for 13 pages and it's never going to reach the point where everyone agrees, so it seems pointless going round in circles on this one.

Sorry, I thought that claiming something I believe in is called AN OPINION.

Well that would depend on the stated opinion.
In your opinion, the grass is close to the burnt area. I'd say ok, I believe you to be wrong.
BUT, in this case, it's a lie. Just like I'd say to someone who said that in their opinion the sun will rise in the west tomorrow.
To make such an outrageous claim is clearly a lie, unless that person is irrational.

I agree with thedman. Watch the video below. The plane crashes at about a 40 deg, the fuel exits crater at about 40 deg. No burning fuel touches the ground for a loooong ways after the crater.

But I don't KNOW anything more about Flight 93 than you do - neither of us were there, and therefore we BOTH deduce our OPINIONS based on the evidence we see and how we interpret it.
Yep... I think I'm entitled to my OPINION. You're more than welcome to yours...
