Here is an alternative (that doesn't involve the risk to so many lives) why not collect a few hundred thousand dollars, get time on a super computer and model the crash? I mean, they did it for the WTC - this has got to be so much easier, just the plane, the speed and the ground.
I can't imagine it is that difficult to do (please note that I do not know how to do it), they build planes today completely on computers, no more mock-ups and models. I may even be overestimating the cost. Hire your own engineers and programmers so you can't go excusing the results because the people were afraid of losing their government jobs. Just about everything is known about the terrain. Do it once and get it over with. If the model bears out what we know about Flight 93 then that will clear up a lot of questions. But the work had to be transparent.

I have to believe that when one aircraft shatters like glass, the odds that the other will shatter like glass are pretty good, regardless of what size the aircraft happens to be. Physics doesn't play favoritisms.

But officials are claiming the most of Flight 93 didn't shatter, but remained intact enough to plow 35 feet underground.
