LS, if you will look at the surface of the aircraft that has been painstakenly put back together, you will note that not every scrap of the aircraft was able to be found and placed back together. I don’t find it unreasonable to conclude that some evidence was not recovered. Your use of that to come to a conclusion that it never existed simply doesn’t pass muster with me.
Thus your claim that all other explanations have been eliminated is flawed in my opinion.
As for mythbusters, I’m simply not going to dignify that explantion with an additional response.
As for what sounds looney to you, that’s okay with me. A solid explanation being absent, folks are going to come to their own conclusions. You think the government line on this makes sense. I’m sure they’re very appreicative of that. If a survey were conducted, I doubt very many citizens were buying off on that plausible/implausible explanation, but even one person believing what they will may happen to be right.
I don’t totally dismiss what they and you propose, but I do rank it down there in the single digits.
Thanks for the additional comments.
Ok, I certainly agree they will never find all sections of ANY downed aircraft. (Realize these are the same “explanations” that the looney left use to say that the WTC planes were really empty and there were bombs aboard, or some such). What is important is that in ALL the evidence that has been recovered, including most of the critical explosion area, there is no evidence whatsoever of a bomb; of a missile; or of any explosive devices. Now, that certainly sounds a little “skippy.”
