Did Donald Rumsfield say this flight was shot down? Then later say he misspoke? I cant remember the news program he was on when he said that, but I am sure he said it. Is this the flight that was going to fly into the Whitehouse, the flight where we got the now infamous saying, LETS ROLL? If I am not mistaken, then the plane was shot down, hence little or no wreckage.
TextHere's what Rumsfeld said Friday: "I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten – indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be."

val,
I understand your theory ,but the crater is just not big enough to explain the CRASH THEORY.With all that fuel and an intact aircraft at the point of contact with the ground that crater would be huge ,and the trees that are in the picture would be gone, vaporised along with all the grass that is still visible .
Any supporting evidence to back up that claim; e.g. scientific studies? Or are you just thinking 'well that was a big plane, full of fuel, that must've hit the ground pretty hard...so the resulting ignition of the aviation fuel must've burned down, at the very least, a couple of acres of woodland'?
she found singed papers and other light debris from the crash, including pages from Hemispheres Magazine, United's in-flight magazine.
Residents and workers at businesses outside Shanksville, Somerset County, reported discovering clothing, books, papers and what appeared to be human remains. Some residents said they collected bags-full of items to be turned over to investigators. Others reported what appeared to be crash debris floating in Indian Lake, nearly six miles from the immediate crash scene
yet tons of papers can be found six miles away
Otherwise, the crash theory says that the plane disinigrated on impact

Tons? There were tons of paper found miles away? I have a hard time believing that.
Gotta link to several thousand pounds of paper being found or is that just you exaggerating?
So we have pieces of paper found miles away, how does that translate to a shoot down, wind could have very easily blown the paper there after the crash.
Magazines are heavy
