At the twin towers tragedy, the U.S authorities said they found the terrorists passports (before you answer I am NOT a conspiracy theorist or anything like that, I am just curious, so no stupid answers please), and also in the last couple of weeks when the American baseball star crashed his plane, his passport was also found. I thought that in both cases the passports would be destroyed in the intense heat of the fires/explosions that followed the crashes??

me too, but maybe the passports were planted, and why do people have passports on them when flying in their own country?

Due to the intense heat of the impact of a fully fueled plane hitting the towers, there is no possible way that passports would have survived the crash. The heat was enough to destroy human bone, so paper, regardless of its thickness would havebeen incinerated. Just another American lie at the time.
Passports are made of thicker and more "wear resistant" materials, hence their longevity and sometimes being found intact at accidents.

Passports are made of thicker print paper covered with a special coating to help keep them dry and to help keep the ink from visa stamps from bleeding and smearing. As for them often being found at fiery accident sites, they do often survive the event although they are singed, melted and heavily damaged.

It is more than odd, especially as the flights that hit the towers were internal and so no passport would be required. It is all to get the stupid Americans to open their big mouths before they think as usual,

Months after 9/11, the FBI finally admitted that the alleged passport discovery was merely "A rumour that might be true..." (in other words, bullsh-t.)

Nothing comes from nothing, and nothing goes to nothing. The people and their possessions in these kind of incidents aren't vaporised... just the authorities tend to limit gruesome talk of broken bits of humans being found and used for identification purposes.

I agree with you, I would have expected them to have been destroyed in the crash. I had never thought of that before, made me think.....
