Boy Oh Boy!!! You can Google, cut and paste! So clever. Sorry, if something causes another thing to explode it is then a detonator, the thing that exploded is then an explosive. Detonate and explode are verbs.
Now that's by definition, not connotation. In common connotation we associate detonators with a class items that are generally used in conjuction with explosives to cause the materials in the explosives to accelarate to a point where they are no longer stable and expand explosively.
Its all a moot point anyway. The plane exploded and it didn't need a detonator.
This is called the Jet Cone Effect, when the total output of a detonation is folded back onto itself and is spent in ONE DIRECTION. The effect amplifies the blast output exponentially.
In that split second, the conical impact crater DIRECTED the blast straight back out in the opposite direction.
The blast direction is the opposite of the side of detonation.....

9/11 POLL : Do You Believe a Boeing 757 Crashed in Shanksville?
He was taken out of context by a conspiracy peddler. Upon close inspection of the full transcript of the article, the author left out a very important piece of information just after the "no airplane" comment..
“There was no plane,” Ernie Stull, mayor of Shanksville, told German television in March 2003: “My brother-in-law 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.”
"They just found the two turbines because, of course, they're heavier and more massive than everything else. But there was almost nothing left of the actual airplane. You can still find plate-sized parts out there. And Neville from the farm over there found an aluminum part from the airplane's outside shell behind his barn that must've been about 8 by 10 or even 8 by 12 feet."
Yup, got cherry picked by a "fake but accurate" style of reporter. Just what we've come to expect from truthers.
There was no "detonation" point when flight 93 exploded. There was no detonator.
The blast direction is the opposite of the side of detonation.....
(That phrase is not yet trademarked, so consider it open-sourced and free to all for use, right now).
Relying (absurdium) on the YT solely is, well....absurd.

Oh, I forgot to point this out, from above ... classy:

Yep, another shill busted at lying. I actually got the live video, with the part we are talking about completely unedited.
What do you have to say for yourself liar?

How difficult is it to understand?
A video of his initial (but incomplete) impression is bandied about on YouTube.
Later there is more in-depth explanation. EITHER the YT clip was edited to remove his subsequent remarks, or his remarks weren't videotaped, but were merely recorded, and ocnveyed by a reporter in print, later.
I suspect (based on your intransigence here) that this may seem 'new' to you, but indeed, it is not to many here. This is well-understood by most, by now.
It is yet another example of some creative 'twisting' of the events by those who wish to keep the 'truth movement' alive.
Dig deeper, get into other sources than YT (there ARE a few...some good rebuttals on YT, by people who think rationally, and do not alter, twist, lie or just parrot other people's work, as most of the YT videos do).
“There was no plane,” Ernie Stull, mayor of Shanksville, told German television in March 2003: “My brother-in-law 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.

And Neville from the farm over there found an aluminum part from the airplane's outside shell behind his barn that must've been about 8 by 10 or even 8 by 12 feet."
According to the WDR copy, the portion of the film script quoted above is followed by this statement made by Stull on the original tape:
And to top it all off, the mayor is talking about an airplane in the crater. Sheesh, watch your own videos Point Of No Return
"That is it, what they saw. - "I always thought that was the crash site" - "It is, but nothing is to be seen there, the plane divided itself totally. Poof, it cracked on the soil and dissolved, completely"
He ain't getting it in, no matter how many ways you try to explain it. It just doesn't compute that the mayor was talking long before the this particular video segment begins. It's obvious when the audio starts in this clip because his first sentence starts with "Well, yeah..."(0:16) meaning he was already in the middle of reciting his story.
It's pretty bad when even "Der Spiegel" is calling you out on questionable journalism.
And Neville from the farm over there found an aluminum part from the airplane's outside shell behind his barn that must've been about 8 by 10 or even 8 by 12 feet."
There was no airplane,' says Ernie Stull, speaking partly to us and partly as if he were listening to his own voice, checking to see if he had heard himself correctly. One and half years after the catastrophe, he still shakes his head, completely at a loss, and helplessly extends his arms: 'No airplane'."
No its an opinion based on denial of the actual evidence.
The real fact is that Flight 93 DID crash at Shanksville.
Just because you ignore every shred of evidence that supports it does not make YOUR opinion true. Just shows paranoid delusions based on ignorance.
Deny ignorance, do not embrace it.
Except that, if you actually reviewed the transcripts of eyewitnesses in Shanksville, you know that several witnesses SAW the airliner coming in at between 350 and 500 mph at low altitude, saw it losing pieces from the extreme acceleration and maneuvers, and SAW it belly-roll into a vertical dive just before impact.
Are you suggesting that these eyewitnesses have been compromised and have refuted their testimony? Because, to my knowledge, none of them have retracted their stories. They saw Flight 93 go down, saw the fireball rising into the sky, and felt the concussion of its impact, which broke windows up to half a mile away.
As for the debris field at the point of impact, it has been repeatedly explained by the FAA that the majority of the aircraft (about 65%) was recovered, buried up to 30 feet below the surface in the loose soil.
