Much of the tape is reportedly unintelligible. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “the voices were muddled and the ambient noise of the wind rushing by the speeding plane often made it impossible to distinguish individuals, even when they were yelling.” [Daily Telegraph, 4/20/2002; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 4/21/2002] New York Times reporter Jere Longman writes the book Among The Heroes based in part on interviews with relatives who hear the cockpit voice recording, along with several government officials and investigators. The recording reveals new details of the passengers’ struggle on board Flight 93, but the government still has not officially stated if it believes they took over the plane or not.

Very simple to do that:
The recorder was used in the trail of Zachirias Moussaoui and when it was played, the sounds of rushing wind as if the plane had been "holed" was very evident. However the Judge sealed the recording so the public could not examine it. I believe thats a sign of a cover up.
It is illegal for the National Transportation Safety Board, who regulates these recordings, to release them to the public.....
The airlines, who own the original recording, are legally allowed to release it if they so choose....Several others come from lawsuit settlements in which release was mandated by a court order, and yet others come from various independent investigators who chose to release the information.

I agree with both of your statements. I have always thought that the other two debris sites were where the majority of the wreckage was at. The one in Shanksville only contained the predator/global hawk or whatever "other plane" used as a decoy crashed at.

In a nutshell?
Flight 93 hijacked, terrorists attacked by passangers. Terrorist flips plane into the ground at high speed obliterating the aircraft.

I am not speaking for hooper. I actually don't know his/her exact position on that. AND, I really don't see why it matters.
The word "most" is vague enough, isn't it?
What does the word "most" conjure up in people's minds?
Is that a silly comparison? YES, because this whole discussion us silly.
What is the difference how much exactly was buried, compared to how much wasn't?
The ONLY reason that a certain individual (or two) even care, at all, is because of ONE off-the-cuff statement, waaaaay back in the early days, early aftermath of September 11th. An FBI agent, when pressed by a reporter, threw out the line of "about 95%" was recovered....it really was a WAG, on his part. It was not any sort of 'official' calculation.
Now, he mentioned the word 'recovered', not 'buried'.
It is completely irrelevant, and an argumentative red-herring (just one of very, very many, in 9/11 discussions) that serves no useful purpose. It adds NOTHING to any debates, whatsoever.
It has no more relevance ,than, say, asking how much of Pan Am 103 was buried, at impact. Or USAir 427. Or United 585.
Or, PSA 1771.

You do know that the second "debris" site contained light debris that was carried from the main crash site? The police, coroner and even people who were around Indian Lake reported seeing papers, magazines, charred insulation, strips of nylon, and mail falling from the sky AFTER the impact at Shanksville.
The debris was blown there since the wind blew from the NW towards the SE. The impact sent a fireball and mushroom cloud which would easily suck up any light debris blasted apart and have it get carried by the winds to their final landing area.

They did find passports, aircraft parts, personal items of the passangers and terrorists.

Not all evidence of course. Some objects survived, as is expected in such a crash. Some items will survive something like this, some will not. They did find passports, aircraft parts, personal items of the passangers and terrorists.

Hmm.
Hundreds of searchers who climbed the hemlocks and combed the woods for weeks
were able to find about 1,500 mostly scorched samples of human tissue totaling less than 600 pounds, or about 8 percent of the total
Miller and a group of more than two dozen volunteers this week made a final sweep of the property, looking for debris. The group found airplane debris near a section of downed evergreens and a small amount of human remains, Miller said.
Miller said the lab is continuing to test DNA material to verify the deaths of the last six crash victims.
He said DNA tests won't be able to identify the four hijackers on board.
"To make a DNA identification we need something from the victims or their family members
-- personal effects, or blood samples -- to match," Miller said. "We don't have that kind of information about the terrorists."
Identification of the victims through DNA testing allows the coroner to issue death certificates
and return the fragmented remains to the families.
Miller said he will identify as many of the remains as he can.
Remains that can't be identified will be interred at a grave in Somerset County.
"We already have issued presumptive death certificates so families could begin to take care
of the affairs of those persons we haven't identified," Miller said.
"Now we can say for sure on 34 of the victims
and that gives the families, some of whom have held memorial services, more of a sense of closure."

Five months after the crash, once the long, painstaking identification process was completed, he realized he had one larger duty remaining. Finally, some fragment of each of the dead had been positively identified, either by DNA or, in a few cases, fingerprints. So now the remains were going to be returned, he says, "and some people were going to look inside the caskets and I wanted them to know it would be shocking. I had to explain . .
