ok...so lets say the engine fell off and hit the tail...so you have the engine and the tail in the some spot at the same time. The engine is more heavy then the tail and the tail would glid more meaning the engine would hit the ground well before the tail. Yet they found the tail in the bay and both engines on land meaning the tail hit the ground before the engine.

Well......first the killer birds attacked the tail, knowing from their terrorist training classes, that the plane couldn't fly without it.
Once they disengaged the tail, they went after the rest of the plane, so it would look like an accident, and people would still feed them french fries at McDonalds.

Exactly! I posted this earlier in the thread:

"Last night on Fox, in the 10 est time, there were 2 very interesting guests on. The first was Vernon Gross, former NTSB member, who early in the day had thought that it was an accident, as it was being reported that an engine just fell off, and the plane plummeted. But he was changing his mind as of last night, because of that vertical stabilizer coming off before the engine(s) did."

Absolutely not.

The tail piece would not "glide", it would tumble like a thrown sheet of plywood and quickly go from a horizontal velocity of 500mph (or whatever) to zero, at which point it would drop pretty much straight to the ground (fluttering as it went).

The engine, meanwhile, would continue to fly forward at 500mph like a thrown baseball, arcing down to hit the ground much farther along the path of the plane's initial course than the tail piece.
