1. To Flight 93?

It's not quite a fair comparison, but still somewhat surprising how little of the plane seems to remain (at least in these few photos).

Contrasted with Flight 93:
Were the speeds the same? Seriously doubt it.
Was the angle of impact the same? No.
Was the composition of the ground they collided with the same? No.

edit: the point about "at least in these few photos" is much more important than I parenthetically made it out to be above. And spellng.

2. Nothing like Shanksville.

I wonder what the angle of the crash impact was....pretty damn horrible nonetheless.
