This seems to be one of the most pointless lines of inquiry on this subject to me, since there's no good reason for them to cover up a shoot-down since pretty much everyone was and is in agreement that such drastic action was absolutely warranted in this situation.

No, it does not invalidate 9/11 being an inside job. There are two alternatives:
1. The small group of 9/11 plotters did not have control of the full US military. Someone not in the black op loop gave the order for Flight 93 to be shot down as part of legitimate, emergency plans for a hijacking.
2. The plans went wrong and the plotters had to get rid of the remote-controlled plane masquerading as Flight 93 because for some reason (some have proposed because the departure of the plane was delayed and it became too late to crash it into the WTC7), they could no longer fly it into WTC7. That's why WTC7 had to be left burning for a few hours to give plausibility to its collapsing due to collateral damage and fires. Its controlled demolition was always part of the 9/11 plan, but only after Flight 93 had crashed into it.

This is the BEST explanation yet for 93 being shot down.
Likewise a normal type crash
would leave most victims identifiable.
hmmmm no muslims....

That is true actually.
Why, if the aircraft went straight down into the soft and yielding earth of the 'crash site', and is buried only a few ten's of meters down, was it never recovered?
Surely, if it wasn't excavated to recover body parts or personal effects, it would have been done to recover evidence of this notorious crime?
If BP can dig down four miles into the GoM, i'm sure the US government can dig down a few meters.
It seems they are not particularly concerned with evidence..what with sealing off the trade center and flogging the evidence containing steel to China as fast as possible.
And they won't even dig up the remains of a jet they say is buried in SOFT earth, only a few 10's of meters down, when almost every other civilian airliner that crashes, is painstakingly recovered and pieced back together to determine the exact cause of the crash, but NOT this one..in one of the worst crimes to befall us in recent memory.
You're right daddio...it doesn't make sense IF the OS is to be believed. It makes perfect sense though, IF the OS is a work of fiction.
First, US fighter jets have two weapons for intercepting aircraft, missiles and their cannon. For the missiles, you have two types, infrared and radar guided, of which neither was used that day. An infrared missile, would have slammed into one of the engines and exploded it into a few thousand pieces. Wreckage that was found of BOTH engines do not support this. A radar guided missile would have hit the fuselage and caused it to come apart into some rather large pieces...again, the wreckage recovered does not support this. In addition, the debris fields would have been much larger.

However, there are other factors that lead to the suspicion that Flight 93 was shot down by the US military. For example, a number of early news reports—published hours before the three fighters landed back at Langley—stated the possibility of a plane having been shot down (see 11:28 a.m.-11:50 a.m. September 11, 2001), and what appears to be debris from a plane is discovered far away from the main Flight 93 crash site (see (Before 10:06 a.m.) September 11, 2001 and September 13, 2001).

Its OK to have a different viewpoint. But the facts regarding flight 93 and its downing will one day, be in the news.
