This is what a plane crash normally looks like:
At Least 189 Dead in Brazil Air Crash
“…The TAM airlines Airbus-320 flight that originated in Porto Alegre in southern Brazil on Tuesday cleared the airport fence at the end of the runway and the busy highway but slammed into a gas station and a TAM building, causing an inferno. Temperatures reached 1,830 degrees inside the plane, and officials said there was no way passengers could have survived.
TAM Linhas Aereas SA said 186 were on the Airbus-320 - 162 passengers, 18 TAM employees and a crew of six - and officials said three bodies of people killed on the ground had been recovered. There were fears of more dead on the ground, with 14 others taken to hospitals, where their conditions were not known.
Ninety badly charred bodies, along with the flight data recorder, had been pulled from the wreckage by midmorning, firefighters said…”
Notice that despite the “inferno” there were still large pieces of wreckage.. bodies.. flight data recorder.. you get the idea.
This is what a plane crash does not look like:
This is the supposed crash site of United Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA on September 11th, 2001. Notice there are no pieces of the plane. No bodies. Teeny tiny hole in the ground. Nothing that resembles any crash site you’ve ever seen.
