  1. The issue with a lack of wreckage has been a strong point for all conspiracy theorists.  The average plane crash happens at 100-200 mph, usually upon landing or takeoff, leaving plenty of wreckage.  The planes in the 9/11 tragedies, however, were traveling in excess of 500-600 mph with no intent of slowing down or trying to land.  Enough to shred and nearly vaporize most of the plane into completely unrecognizable conditions.


  2. Drive your car into a wall at 575mph and see what is left.

    "too fast when it hit the gound"

    Is there any good speed to hit the ground...ha! :)

  3. nothing should be left except for some small fragments. the acft was traveling too fast when it hit the ground.

  4. There was an experiment done years ago testing what would happen if an airplane were to hit the reinforced cement wall surrounding a nuclear power plant. An F-4 Phantom was attached to a sled, accelerated to around 500 mph and ran into a cement wall. There was absolutely nothing left of the aircraft, except for a small part of the right wing, which happened to miss the cement wall.

    The same thing happened to flight 93. Which also happens to be the same thing that happened to the plane that hit the pentagon. No conspiracies here, just physics at work.
