My stepson just today was telling me the tail section of the plane was found 5 miles from the crash site. I have not heard this before. Anyone know if this is true?

Somehow, I doubt anything that could be defined as a "section" of Flight 93 was found anywhere. There weren't a lot of pieces left that were too big, from what I've read. If you look at photos of the crater, you can see what appear to be imprints made by the engines and tail. That thing hit going full-tilt, nose-down. That might give ye an idea of what we're dealing with. An impact that severe is enough to throw debris a considerable distance.

Another factoid: The "black box" was found 15 feet below the surface of the crater's bottom. That plane hit HARD.
