"No, I am asking you how that debris got there. "

And I have explained that as clearly as I could. I'll try again. When an aircraft impacts the ground and explodes, it creates a fireball. When the force of the explosion combines with the vacuum created by the fireball, pieces of wreckage and debris can rise several thousand feet into the air. That debris is then left to the mercy of whatever wind exists. The winds the day of the crash were blowing in a southeasterly direction, which is exactly the direction the bits of burned paper and fabric from the wreckage were recovered. If you've ever thrown trash or newspaper into a bonfire, you've probably noticed burning trash can float a long way. Now imagine a bonfire capable of creating a fireball large enough to rise several thousand feet and be seen for miles. There is no mystery here at all.

Now it is your turn. Can you explain how, if there was no wind, debris from an aircraft impact was found several miles from a crash site, when by all accounts, the aircraft never flew over the areas in which the debris was found? And the "eyewitness" you are refering to NEVER claimed he was an eyewitness. Don't make him into something he isn't to support an otherwise unsupportable theory. He says he lived about 20 minutes away and he remembers there was no wind that morning. He also says there were no clouds, while actual eyewitnesses to the crash describe the aircraft as descending through clouds. His recollection of the wind that day does not match official weather records. That isn't surprising, considering surface wind conditions can vary considerably in rolling terrain.
