This is from a retired 777 pilot concerning the debris. If he took it into the Bay of Bengal or somewhere in the Indian Ocean going about six, 700 knots vertical, just like Flight 93, the pieces of the airplane would be the size of your thumb. There wont be any debris field. There might be an oil slick, but if it flew on for several hours and then he did it there would be no oil slick cause he burned up all the fuel. Flight 93s debris field covered anywhere from three to six miles and pieces of the plane were found six to eight miles from the main impact area: Authorities also said another debris site had been cordoned off six to eight miles away from the original crash debris site. A sector of one engine weighing one ton was found 2,000 yards away. This was the single heaviest piece recovered from the crash, and the biggest, apart from a piece of fuselage the size of a dining-room table. The rest of the plane, consistent with an impact calculated to have occurred at 500mph, disintegrated into pieces no bigger than two inches long. Other remains of the plane were found two miles away near a town called Indian Lake. Most of the remaining debris, scattered over a perimeter that stretches for several miles, are in pieces no bigger than a briefcase.
