Why? What is learnable about the crime (hijacking and suicide) from a forensic examination of the impact crater and the location of the debris.
An investigation refers to the process of collecting information in order to reach some goal; for example, collecting information about the reliability and performance of a vehicle prior to purchase in order to enhance the likelihood of buying a good car. Applied to the criminal realm, a criminal investigation refers to the process of collecting information (or evidence) about a crime in order to: (1) determine if a crime has been committed; (2) identify the perpetrator; (3) apprehend the perpetrator; and (4) provide evidence to support a conviction in court. If the first three objectives are successfully attained, then the crime can be said to be solved.
But I give you a thumbs up for sarcasm!
And what do you mean, sarcasm?
It wasn't really all sarcasm. It represents the general impression I get when I read the complaints about all the investigations by all the investigative bodies.
Hooper why is it that we have had the "criminal investigation" discussion on others threads, yet your still debating the idea of it here?
The meaning hasn't changed.
Here to refresh the meaning:

Criminal Investigation Defined
I like Number 4 the best: To support a Conviction in court.
That's funny, I like Number 5 the best.
"To chase down any theory, scenario, alternative viewpoint, reinvestigate previously established facts, prove the negative, assume all parties as guilty, vigoursly follow and disprove all conspiracies as found on the itnernet, and never doubt any rumor, hint of a rumor or ghost of a possibility and immeadiately publish all results, fully and completely together with any and all accusations against any person, organization or group wether they are founded, unfounded or fully imaginary on the internet without delay with full and open advertisement".
Ooops, that not actually in there, is it?
Sarcasm is the rhetorical device of using irony in the characterization of someone or something in order to express contempt toward that person or thing.[1] A common form of sarcasm, for example, in conversation, involves what seems to be praising some action that actually is intended to be interpreted, instead, as a ridiculing it; this interpretation is usually surmised through the obvious irony of such a comment.
A Call comes in to the San Luis Obispo County, California Sherrif's Office citing a small plane crash in the mountains of southern California. Detective Bill Wammock is the first to arrive on the scene. He recalls "nothing that resembled an airliner... we went on for hours, before we heard the news reports of a missing airliner, believing that we were dealing with a small airplane full of newspapers that had crashed. We saw no pieces of the aircraft that were larger than, maybe, a human hand. It did not look like a passenger aircraft.”
Two days later, an FBI Agent working the scene found what appeared to be the barrel and trigger of a handgun. Forensic Analysists examined the pieces, and found a small peice of skin wedged between the trigger and the barrel. By matching the skin prints to the passenger manifest, investigators were able to conclude that the gun had been in the hand of USAir employee David Burke at the time of impact.
Four people, two crew members and two passengers, were believed by Federal investigators and the police to have been aboard the Lear 35 jet. The police could not confirm the number, or identities, of the victims ''We're dealing with body parts, not bodies,'' Chief Joseph Ranney said. ''Identification will be very difficult.'' Airplane parts were scattered in small pieces throughout the site on Garrett Mountain
At the site, at Rifle Camp Road and Washington Drive near the Great Notch Reservoir, Federal, police and fire investigators sifted through the remains. The parts of the plane were scattered beneath trees, shrubs and rocks, and the smell of jet fuel permeated the air. The residents of nearby homes and the condomnium complex said the explosion rattled their homes and the flames lighted the early morning sky.
C'mon, you should know by now that ALL plane crash scenes the volume of the crater always = the volume of the aircraft, no exceptions.
But like you said, every situation is different.

The only story is the one that happened. Flight 93 was hijacked, passengers attacked the terrorists, the plane crashed into the field at Shanksville at a nosedive at nearly 500mph. obliterating the aircraft and turning it into shards and turning the passangers into hamburger meat. That has been the position from day one.
Its you people who are having a hard time coming with a plausible alternative story. One that makes sense. But gee, what have we heard? No plane, small plane, fake plane, no crash, all planted debris, no human remains, some, no airplane debris, some airplane debris, fake mushroom cloud, shoot down, no shoot down, different flightpath, no plane at all, just everythign faked, shoot down real but faked crash site. I mean damn these are the ones off the top of my head.
