“What do you think happened to the wings?”

I would suspect they sheared, exploded and burnt on impact, a 747 has 8 wing tanks four on each side, some have tanks in the tail, there’s also a main body tank. If all tanks are full you have a total of 57,000 gallons of fuel weighing in at 380,000 lbs.

Good explanation and I think it’s true now that I remember fuel tanks in the wings.

So you think the wings, fuselage, landing gear all incinerated with the heat of the explosion?

Would you say some AC portions were flung far on impact and should have been found?

Flight 93 parts were found but they crashed into the ground, not a building. Difficult to understand how crashing into a building would incinerate everything yet crashing into the ground would not, other than the dispersion area of the remains is larger on the ground. Ii don’t know, there are facts missing.
