So let's look at what actual verifiable facts are presented:
Similarly, the SSB pump, which had a pumping rate of 75 gpm, would have drained the two 6,000 gallon tanks serving that system in less than 3 hours. This could have accounted for the lost 12,000 gallons reported by EPA or the tanks could have been ruptured and the oil spilled into the debris pile.

I try not to say too much about WTC-7 seeing that NIST has yet to release their findings.

Well my hopes in starting this thread was that people would post actual evidence as opposed to OPINION and SPECULATION.

Without splitting hairs you've demonstrated at last that ALL fuel was not recovered as you originally claimed and at least 12000 gallons of diesel alone escaped within the building (the figures suggest even more but that would be enough).
The flight was regularly scheduled for takeoff at 7:45 a.m. However, boarding was running behind schedule, and at 7:45 a.m., lead hijackers Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari were still boarding the plane. In the rush, Atta's bags were not loaded onto the plane in time. The aircraft departed from Gate 26, and after a 14 minute delay, the flight took off from Logan International Airport at 7:59 a.m. from runway 4R. At 8:13:29 a.m., as the aircraft was passing through 26,000 feet over central Massachusetts, the pilot responded to a request from Boston Air Traffic Control Center to make a 20° turn to the right. At 8:13:47, Boston Center then instructed the pilots to ascend to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. The aircraft never responded to this request. At 8:16 a.m., the aircraft leveled off at 29,000 feet.

Yes, i have been asking for years for evidence to support the official story, but so far people have just been posting opinions.

What happened from the time the hijackers took over?

Do you agree with what has been posted so far? YES or NO.
The 9/11 Commission estimates that the hijacking began at 8:14 a.m. John Ogonowski (captain) and Thomas McGuinness (first officer) were in control until the plane was hijacked. Shortly thereafter, the aircraft started to deviate from its scheduled path. Boston Air Control made multiple attempts at contacting Flight 11 but received no response. At 8:21 a.m. the flight stopped transmitting its Mode-C transponder signal.
At 8:23:38 a.m., Atta tried to make an announcement to the passengers, but he pressed the wrong button and sent the message to the Boston Center. Air traffic controllers heard Atta announcing, "We have some planes, just stay quiet and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport". At 8:24:56, he announced "Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet." Once again, Atta thought he was speaking only to the passengers; when in fact, his voice was being picked up and recorded by Air Traffic Controllers. At 8:26 a.m., approximately over Voorheesville, New York, the plane made a 100-degree turn to the south heading toward New York City. The flight attendants then tried to access the cockpit and at 8:33:59, Atta announced "Nobody move please, we are going back to the airport, don't try to make any stupid moves." At 08:37:08, the pilots of United Airlines Flight 175 verified AA11's location and heading to flight control. At 8:37 a.m., the aircraft began descending from 29,000 feet at 3,200 feet/minute, and made a final turn towards Manhattan at 8:43 a.m.

All looking like a very good rendition of the way it was reported to have happened plus there are recordings, transcripts, multiple competent sources to back it up so yes - it's evidence.
I have no evidence in opposition to the above.
I might be able to think of a couple of questions but they are far from being any kind of evidence at all - just plain personal opinion and collective conjecture

Phone calls
Flight attendants Madeline Amy Sweeney and Betty Ong supplied information on what happened. According to them, three people – two attendants (Karen Martin and Barbara Arestegui) and a passenger – were stabbed or had their throats slashed by the hijackers. The passenger, Daniel Lewin, a notable Internet entrepreneur, had also previously served as an officer in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit of the Israeli military. It is unknown if the hijackers targeted him specifically because he was Israeli or if it was coincidental. A 2002 FAA memo referenced Lewin as possibly being killed by Satam al-Suqami after he attempted to stop the hijacking. Apparently, Lewin, seated in 9B, was attacked by al-Suqami, who was sitting immediately behind him in seat 10B. Betty Ong provided details to American Airlines' operations center. In a four minute call, she provided information regarding lack of communication with the cockpit, lack of access to the cockpit, and passenger injuries. She provided the seat locations of the hijackers, which helped to determine their identities.
At 8:46:40 a.m., Flight 11 was deliberately crashed into the northern facade of the North Tower (Tower 1) of the World Trade Center. The aircraft, which was traveling at approximately 466 miles per hour (750 km/h), impacted between the 93rd and 99th floors with approximately 10,000 gallons of flammable jet fuel.
This was the first crash in the attacks of the day. All on board (11 crew, 76 passengers, and 5 hijackers) were killed. The crash was also witnessed by nearby pedestrians and drivers.
The first news and radio organizations reported an explosion or incident at the World Trade Center, CNN broke into a commercial at 8:49 a.m. CNN headlines first read 'World Trade Center Disaster.' Carol Lin, who was the first anchor to break the news of the attacks, said:
"Yeah. This just in. You are looking at obviously a very disturbing live shot there. That is the World Trade Center, and we have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. CNN Center right now is just beginning to work on this story, obviously calling our sources and trying to figure out exactly what happened, but clearly something relatively devastating happening this morning there on the south end of the island of Manhattan. That is once again, a picture of one of the towers of the World Trade Center."
