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

Have you demonstrated that there is an "official story" about whether the nose or the wingtip crashed first?
If you've already decided that a plane didn't crash there, you obviously don't care whether the nose or wingtip crashed first, since in your view neither one did. So, I guess you might as well debunk them both. You must think you already have, right?
Why do you suppose the NTSB even does accident reports? There's a big hint in the mission statement on the NTSB home page: "Charged with determining the probable cause of transportation accidents and promoting transportation safety...." Given that charge, do you suppose that the NTSB was deeply concerned with establishing whether the nose or the wingtip crashed first? If so, why?

You would get a lot better response from posters here by stopping the silly games.

Then what do you think really happened or are you going to continue playing childish games?

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