You've been making your opinion loud and clear about the crater size being too small for it to have been made by a 757.
But the crater size alone isn't sufficient enough to prove a plane did not crash there...
There is no denying 'something' crashed there.

Crash
Flight 93 crash site
At 10:03:11, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the plane crashed into a reclaimed coal strip mine in Stonycreek Township in Somerset County.[60] The National Transportation Safety Board reported that the flight impacted at 563 miles per hour (906 km/h) at a 40-degree nose-down, inverted attitude.[19] The impact left a crater eight to ten feet deep (c. 3 m), and 30 to 50 feet wide (c. 12 m).[61]
"The plane left a crater 20 feet wide and 15 feet deep, churning up chunks of deep brown earth and scorching trees in the nearby woods." (11)
"Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV reporter Michelle Wright toured the crash scene and said that a crater of about 30 to 40 feet long, 15 to 20 feet wide and 18 feet deep was created by the crash." (9)
Then, it rolled to the right, pitched down until reaching a nearly vertical attitude, and compacted itself into a 39-foot wide, 15-foot deep crater in an area known as Widefield Park.
"There was no damage to structures on the ground. Trees adjacent to the impact crater were damaged by flying debris and soot, and nearby patches of grass north and northeast of the crater were scorched. The size of the impact crater measured approximately 39 feet by 24 feet and was about 15 feet deep.
The plane and its final explosion blew out a smoldering crater 50 ft. wide and 25 ft. deep.
...Impact forces formed a crater 30 feet across it's top from east to west and 40 feet from north to south; it was 12 feet deep.

Where do you find these definitions?
Exploding into a jet fuel fire. Without other combustibles to maintain the fire, it burned out the flammable materials rather quickly, though it did spread to a portion of the trees.
I have to wonder what is so complicated and confusing for you?
How about over 11,000 US gallons of kerosene , and not as much as a black spot on the grass.

Please prove that the impact area was completely grass covered and therefore should have been burnt.
No buds, YOU PROVE that there was no grass in the crash area. Show ONE image!
