I assume, well of motherliness, that you refer to Shanksville.
Mayor Ernie Stull, Mayor of Nowheresville, the coroner and the fire Chief all rushed out to the scene of the crash and found -nothing much. A crater that had obviously been dug and some scrap metal thrown around.The coroner is on record that there was not one body and not one drop of blood. No engines, no wreckage, no bodies, no luggage, no shoes, no passports: nothing to show a plane ever crashed there. Wherever that plane may or may not have come down it did not come down in Nowheresville.The question is: why lie? About everything. A journalist who questioned a local reporter who was 'active military' about the lack of wreckage was told the ground had 'liquefied' and swallowed the plane and that the wings and fuselage had 'bounced into the woods'. The only thing that liquefied at Shanksville was the truth.
