Question

What happened to the 60 something bodies on flight 77?

Answer 1

Jetfuel went ignited is hot enough to turn organic material to ash. An explosion caused by such would be absolute intense heat and fire. Most likely they people were crushed on inpact and then immediately turned to ash and bone. Mostly this would mean they were unidentifiable, they may have been kept for a short time in forensics for identity purposes.

Answer 2

This is a very good question. You deserve a star for it.

Many millions of people would like to see the true answer to this question, but it is not likely this will happen anytime soon.

Here are some facts:

If jet aviation fuel is burned under ideal circumstances, it is capable of generating sufficiently high temperature to cremate a human body. Its maximum burn temperature is 1600F . A crematorium normally uses lined steel ovens and they maintain steady oven temperatures of a minimum 1400F and as high as 2000F. throughout the cremation process, which averages two hours.

The answer to your question is very much open to speculation as the temperature of the burning jet fuel was never constant and was able to reach maximum potential for only seconds after impact. This was due to the very clear reason that the air supply needed for complete combustion was greatly diminished by the initial explosion and the evolution of smoke and exhausting air from the subsequent fires substantially reduced the influx of the air needed for combustion.

This effect made it  completely impossible for the flames to maintain maximum temperature.

This is highly evident from videos taken of the building which all show thick, black, smoke billowing from the building, and black smoke is a certain indicator of incomplete combustion, which in turn means much lower burn temperature, perhaps half of the maximum, or about 800F.

It is also true that much of the fuel on board the aircraft at impact contributed nothing to the fire because it was carried right out the other side of the building as a result of its own momentum, that momentum being  accelerated by the explosion that occurred behind it and caused much of the escaping fuel to vaporize outside the building.

The balance of fuel inside the building could only burn at whatever temperature was possible according to the air flow available in the specific areas in which the many fires were located. Many of those areas had very limited air flow, and thus very low burn temperatures. Momentary peaks of higher temperatures would have occurred, but virtually nowhere in the building was it possible for the fires to maintain temperatures anywhere close to maximum.

To bring this back to your question, many thousands of bodies are professionally cremated every year. Any professional in that business will tell you that two hours is the average time used for complete cremation of  an adult human body, and even at the highest temperature settings, which are well above that of jet aviation fuel burning under ideal circumstances,  pieces of bone and bone fragments will always be left behind.  Some crematoriums use a machine to crush the remaining bone into tiny bits so that the family can more easily disperse the "ashes".

Given this world-wide mountain of knowledge, there can be no question whatever that human bones would have survived the considerably lower temperatures that the jet fuel was capable of generating inside the building.

As you see, your question remains unanswered, but it is not the only question in that category, for absolutely no one wants to address the far greater question of the tons of molten steel that was so hot it remained in a liquid state for several days after the buildings came down.

This is a far greater question because the melt point of steel is 2800F, almost double the maximum  temperature jet fuel can attain under the very best of circumstances,  but about three times the temperatures at which the fuel actually burned.

it's a secret.
