I think that 5% landed somewhere in the land of reason.
What do think could have hit the plane and created the scene as witnessed?
You are basically saying you have no worldy explanation for why you think it was shot down? If you made a few guesses I may be able to help you. I worked on military aircraft and know about missiles and weapons systems.
You missed the FDR data contradicting the shootdown theory also?
RedIbis - I'm not one for getting involved in 9/11 CT issues, partially because I'm a little late to the party, so to speak, and it would take me an enormous amount of research to get up to speed, which I don't really consider a good use of my time. But I have to admit that I have somewhat of a fascination in reading the ongoing 9/11 CT arguments, to see how convincing they seem, even if only on face value, and how well, or poorly, they're presented.
I like to think I can be, and am, objective when presented with arguments. The problem with your postings here, though (and I haven't read any other 9/11 CT threads to which you might have contributed, so I can't know whether this is typical), is that you haven't presented any real argument, certainly not well-supported arguments. All you've really done is pose questions, most if which you could, I suspect, and therefore should, if you're motivation is genuine, obtain answers to through sensible, proper enquiry. The remaining questions, as others have pointed out, are invalid, in the sense that you shouldn't, as a member of the general public, realistically expect readily available answers to them.
You seem to expect that the respective Authorities are under some sort of obligation to investigate Flight 93 to the nth degree, and make all of its findings publicly available, simply to pre-empt any and every possible question that could conceivably be asked, regardless of source or motive. The World doesn't work like that. It would be great if it did, but then you'd need to find a new hobby, which might not be a bad thing, for all concerned.
RedIbis, please don't take offence, but you really should, as should others like you, take a step back, a deep breath and then a serious reality check on life generally, and your motivations in particular. I remember the first time I became involved in geocaching (I trust you know what that is) as a 40-year-old adult(!). It was good fun, derived a great sense of excitement and satisfaction, and made me feel like part of a special community that has found its purpose in life. Then the novelty wore off and I reverted to more grown-up pursuits. I kinda look back sometimes and wonder what it was that I found so appealing. I suppose it was the sense of adventure - rising to the challenge and trying to find the answer to the puzzle, or better still, being crowned the "first to find"!.
I can't help feeling that your motivations, and those of similar ilk, are not disimilar, the only difference being that you don't really want to find the cache, because that then signals the end of the search, and it's the search that appeals to you, not the truth. It's like the bitter-sweet feeling of completing a jigsaw that you've been painstakingly working on for weeks, feverishly slotting the last few pieces into place because the end is in sight, but then pausing with the final piece poised, not really wanting to place it into position because of the sudden realization that the "challenge" will then evaporate instantaneously, never to present itself again.
So, how do you manage your motivations and expectations? Simple, you mentally dispose of some pieces of the "jigsaw". That way you can ostensibly attempt to complete the picture, but you know it'll never happen. Whatever you do, no matter how hard you try, or whatever help is offered by others, the puzzle will never be properly solved. Trouble is, if you're honest with yourself, you know exactly what the picture is from the start. You don't need to complete the jigsaw to know. It's on the box for all to see.
EMP? Missile? Not really sure, don't know much about weapons systems and such. It seems to me though that you could not say with certainty that if it was, for example, hit by a missile, that the debris field would necessarily look at certain way afterwards. Could be wrong though, I'm no expert.
Clippy said:Not too sure what to make of the FDR. By some accounts, the CVR cuts out 3 minutes too early. It's that sort of thing that makes me suspicious that the whole story is not being told here. Contradictory accounts of when the shootdown authorization was issued and when the military was first alerted to flight 93 make me think that a shootdown was well within the realm of possibility. I would like to see more informed discussion about the physical evidence, hence my question as to whether you knew of the diagram.
I think that we are reading this wrong. It looks like 95% of what was found of the plane was turned over to UA, not 95% of the plane was found and was turned over to UA.That's not what that link says. The actual quote is,
At a news conference, FBI agent Bill Crowley said that the field near Shanksville, Somerset County, has been turned over to the county coroner and that 95 percent of the plane found at the site has been turned over to United Airlines.
Lynn Truss would have a field day here over the question of whether a comma has been omitted after the word "plane", but I would interpret it as saying that 95% of the plane was found at the site and that this 95% has now been turned over to UA.

For all they knew the remaining 5% could have had human remains on it. Why would they stop looking with 5 tons of debris still left to find?
I try to answer posts which are addressed directly to me, but I have to avoid the ones that are longwinded and the only questions are hypothetical.

Air to Air missile from miltary aircraft do not vapourise aircraft (especially that large) and passengers. They damage them so they crash. Most of the time breaking up as they go.
EMP? Laughable, if you have to resort to that specualtion you should think about your bias
FDR is a killer to the shootdown theory. With its info the shootdown theory is bunk.
When do you think a shootdown was given?
I would like to see the reference that the CVR stops 3 mins from the end though.

Where did I say that the plane was vaporized?
Clippy said:I don't know when it was given, but I think it is earlier than what was stated in the Zelikow report.
Clippy said:The CVR stops at 10:03 but seismic data suggests the plane hit the ground at 10:06 (which was also the time being given in news reports). But I see there is a page about this at 911myths, so you will perhaps consider this to be completely debunked.
Clippy said:But I don't know so much about the details for flight 93. I was only interested to know what the best information is for the debris field.
Belief? How about some proof? Standown and shootdowns are so last year
The CVR stops when the plane crashes. The seismic means nothing. Not all clocks are synchronised. Where can you hear explosions from missiles in the CVR? When do the terrorists mention being hit or shot? Read what they say.
So basically you have nothing but beliefs?
I thought that is all the debunkers were supposed to have?
Had a fighter pilot shot down a hijacked jet that day he'd have been a hero, as he'd have prevented a greater loss of life by protecting the target of the hijacked airliner.
Don't think so. This is a major taboo. Has the military ever admitted to intentionally killing US citizens?
Well, you tell us when the US Military has ever had a reason to kill US Citizens. I think a few former military were killed in the riots following WWI. Can you name any others which have even occurred, let alone covered up?

Which part do you have a problem with?Don't think so. This is a major taboo. Has the military ever admitted to intentionally killing US citizens?
Can't think of any. And if they did, I wouldn't expect them to announce it, let alone be lauded as heros for it, as the OP stated. Do you think someone who had shot down flight 93 would be seen as a hero?
