Really guys...calm down. Why the hostility to eyewitnesses? I sure hope and expect the investigators pay more attention to these statements than I see here. They're funny...but if you lived here, maybe you'd sing a different tune. This is rough on us all, but people are examining the remaining evidence, and hopefully will find signs of explosions, goose bones (don't laugh...this is a possibility!)...

An ex-dentist of mine was a pathologist for Flight 800. He told me stories that would curl your arm-hair. This is brutal stuff, but we're (horribly, for the deceased on the ground) fortunate it didn't happen over water, which loses and corrupts the evidence. My dentist refused to ever eat lobster again.

Sounds like you're there in the Rockaway area. My condolences for all your community has suffered since 9/11.

The play "Rashomon" makes the point that not everything eyewitnesses say they saw is the gold-plated truth. The point is to sift, test, compare, and get the/a residuum of truth. We know what happened - the plane came down out of control. We need to carefully deal with all the evidence we can find. BTW I agree with the "no lobsters, thanks just the same" fellow...
