In reply to the discussion: How did United 93 supposedly crash? [View all]William Seger

"... for why that shouldn't be expected when a 757 plows into a reclaimed strip mine at over 500 MPH."

Offering those as "reasons" amounts to saying that what we see at the crash site is not what we should expect, because we should expect to see something different. A.k.a. begging the question.
As predicted, after promising us "debunking" all you've got is denials and personal incredulity, despite the fact that both of your "reasons" can be explained by the loosely-packed dirt in that reclaimed strip mine.

I think a seat cushion supposedly did. So plane buries, seat cushion lands on roof.

Craters where different. No A10 witnessed, that was a 'UAV' seen by Susan McElwain
