Hi John and Doves. Although I read every day, I seldom write.

Well, I thought that someone else would have posted this by now but since they
didn't let me, in my very unprofessional way try to explain the lack of
existance of the plane after it hit the Pentagon.

I was stationed on an aircraft carrier for a year.  During that time I learned
that many of the planes that we fly these days are made up of composit metals.
When they catch on fire, if they can't be put out right away, then there is a
huge crane there to simply push them over the side of the carrier.  The reason
they can't be put out after the fire gets going very well is that these
composite metals actually begin to burn themselves.  Once hot enough, they can
supply all their own fuel and oxygen.  Many of them continue to burn even under
water.  It isn't impossible for these planes to totally burn up.  it isn't the
jet fuel that does it al though it probably is the cause of them getting the
metal burning in the first place. Once the metal begins to burn it is very,
very difficult to put out and would pretty much burn all the way up.

If I am incorrect, soneone please feel free to say so. I was only on the
carrier for a year and my experience in this is limited.

Your brother in Christ.
