First thing - the cowardice of an anonymous poster is noted.
Second - the ignorance of this poster regarding airplane crashes. The
737 that crashed at Colorado Springs (ISTR) about 5 years ago while
half way around base leg and somehow (rotor cloud? full rudder jam?)
went in at about 90 degrees and very damn little was left. And it was
slow!
Flight 93 went in, inverted, as I remember, at a steep angle and a
high rate of knots, well over 450. As usual, it made a big hole and
blew tiny pieces all over. Remember, it still had most of its fuel
load on board. Next time do some research before coming up with your
very own pet theory.
And yes, I have investigated aircraft accidents, four of them. One was
a very good friend and his F104 disintegrated on impact, with him in
it, at only about 200 knots and close to level flight.

Walt,

That five years or so was March 1991.
