Probably one of the biggest mysteries of 9/11 is that of the missing passengers. While we can speculate what became of them, their true whereabouts may never be known. However, one thing we can tell from the evidence is that none of them were anywhere near any of the crash sites. For instance, in the case of flight 93; even if a 757 had crashed in Shanksville, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that anyone was onboard.
It’s impossible alone to accept that all passengers were vaporized upon impact, however, had the crash been a raging inferno we would still expect to have found their bodies, albeit very badly burned. Another impossibility of the official story is the fact that no bones had been discovered by any sniffer dogs especially at the Pentagon site. Unlike the rest of the body bone does not burn which brings me onto the following excerpt:
The piece cited below is taken from the book “Cause of Death” and describes the process involved in handling the body in a crematorium. The subject matter is somewhat macabre, however, of all medical books I have read on the subject this one gives the most succinct, yet factual account. Bear this in mind when considering the official story that the passengers were vaporized…
“Once the casket is rolled into the cremation chamber, incineration occurs at temperatures of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Crematories most commonly use natural gas to produce the intense heat, but oil, propane, gas or electricity can be used as fuel. The combustion chamber, big enough to hold only one coffin at a time, is lined with fire bricks that can withstand heat up to 3500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cremation is usually performed at 1800 degrees; total time for cremation takes sixty to ninety minutes, depending on the weight of the body. When the cremation is complete, the white-hot brick furnace must cool down before the remains of ash and pieces of bone (weighing three to seven pounds, depending on body weight) are removed. Bone fragments are then collected and pulverized in a grinding machine to the size of granulated sugar.”
- From the book “Cause of Death” by Keith D. Wilson, M.D.
Contrast this account with the situation of an aircraft burning up upon impact. Once ignited the fuel will burn up rapidly in the air yet the fireball will only reach its peak temperature very briefly before most of the remaining fuel is burned up. The temperature may not even reach 1800 degrees (the highest temperature a flame can burn at in the open air) at its peak and will certainly not be hot enough to burn off every ounce of flesh. More importantly is the fact that bone does not even burn! It takes a great amount of heat and for a prolonged period of time before it will even begin to ash. Even in a crematorium after being incinerated for up to 90 minutes there is still a considerable amount of bone left over.
So how can it be that in the events of Flights 93 and 77 that not a single fragment of bone was recovered, yet, after the extreme inferno that a body is exposed to inside a crematorium there are still chunks of bone remaining? The only explanation to this is that no passengers were aboard any of the planes which crashed that day. As truth seekers it’s not our responsibility to account for what happened to the passengers, but rather to investigate what did not happen and to demand an explanation as to their whereabouts. The burden of proof is not upon us, but rather those behind the official story. Until they can scientifically account for the physical impossibilities in their story, we have every reason to believe otherwise!
So how is it that forensic anthropologists spent weeks and months going through fragments of bone and debris? Was that all faked too?
Can anyone provide evidence of these? The coroner Wally Miller claimed that "less than 600 pounds of tissue" was found in the area. He makes no mention of bone fragments and refused to answer any questions as to whether he actually found them or that they were turned over to him by the FBI. It's the governments word against ours, and i can already tell you for a fact that their word doesn't count for much. I personally challenge them to release photographic evidence of any "tissues" found. They are not shy about photographing such things.. just look at the mossaoui trial exhibits. until they can provide evidence that they actually found bone fragments, IMHO their reports are nothing more than a contrived fiction. If you want to believe the word of the US Government, maybe then we should believe what the National Socialists told us too... they were a more honest people in my opinion, which is pretty bad if you ask me.
Great post Beached. IAWTP.
Here is the 600 pounds of tissue found by Wally Miller:

On a serious note: It was interesting reading about the cremation process.
