Did they find any pieces of the aircraft, or the suicide bombers in the ruins of the 9/11 attack?

Question

....things like parts of the engines, or the undercarriage assemblies, or cockpit parts. Or was everything completely destroyed by the impact and the fire? This isn't a morbid question, it's trying to understand how to defend against another such attack in the future. Say by someone seeking to glorify or relive the attacks on a significant anniversary.......

Answer 1

I completely disagree with the guy above, we all need to find out a lot of information about what happened to help protect ourselves in future.

The chances of creating any stucture that would survive a direct hit by a huge plane are almost nil but maybe if the people who were below the crash had known the building would collapse there would have been more getting the hell out of there.

Engineers will learn how to improve construction to a small extent, but it has got them thinking more about evacuation from top floors, an easy to use parachute system has been mentioned among others.
Also they can see how the aviation fuel ran down the buliding and bypassed lots of the fire resistant material making it useless.

I would imagine there will be lots of aircraft parts there, some will have fallen to the ground on impact as well is inside the building regardless of the heat, etc.

Answer 2

There was a documentary "5 years on" on channel 4 in UK on Saturday and the firemen said that they didnt find any desks, chairs etc at the site - everything was turned to dust/unrecognisable. I dont think that finding bits of a plane is going to improve security or our defences. Failure to communicate the structural damage properly to the firemen was partly responsible for the lives lost when they collapsed and now systems are in place to ensure that information is shared. I do think that we should remember the victims and how this tragedy and others such as the 7/7 London bombings brought out both the best and the worst in people with tremendous acts of selflessness and kindness which were one in the eye for the perpetrators of these criminal acts.

Answer 3

i grew to become into observing a documentary in this over the weekend, and that they confirmed that some factors of the aircrafts got here down interior the streets around the towers. there grew to become into surely a extensive area of an engine shown on the floor. i'm uncertain although what they might learn from the airplane wreckage thus. i presumed air crash investigators frequently pieced at the same time airplane to attempt and understand what went incorrect and led to the crash. while the airplane is hijacked and intentionally flown right into a construction, the wreckage can not grant any added information different than for in all probability the cockpit voice recorder.

Answer 4

Everything was destroyed by the intensity of the impact and fire.At the Pentagon parts of the plane were found...
Why ask? how are you going to understand how to defend against another attack by knowing what bits of the plane were left...I don't understand ?

Answer 5

I don't think any of the aircraft or bodies survived the intense heat of the fire.
If terrorists want to re-create this kind of monstrosity, then I fear there is very little that can be done to stop it.
You can have all the plans and responses to attack in place, but if you've busted your way into the ****-pit and you're the only one in control.............................


May they all rest in peace.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Not sure, but the a passport of one the alleged perpetrators was supposed to have survived the fireball and fluttered to the ground.

Answer 8

NO! All destroyed in the crash together with the very hi tech black box. But they found the passport of the suicide bomber tho!
hmm...i wonder how....

Answer 9

I dont no m8

but let 9/11 victims rest in peace

Answer 10

Not sure about the aircraft, I think they would find debris, but no doubt the hijacker's bodies would have burnt up on impact.
