[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wreckage spanned a mile in 8 seconds. It doesn't say that it broke apart eight seconds later. I'm not going to argue with you, but I disagree that isn't immediate. If the data from smoke detectors is being sent via wifi, I don't understand how that's possible when they plane is breaking apart. There are communication systems, electrical systems and a loss of cabin pressure. Wouldn't losing cabin pressure cause a strong suction that pulled the air out of the cabin, and away from smoke detectors?[/quote]

Look at the recreation.  The airframe remained intact.  The skin (the outer aluminum skin peeled away and broke apart.  Both wings hit in the same crater.  The passenger cabin hits in that crater.  Yes.  Thousand of pieces as the outer shell was shredded.  And it is over a mile in 8 seconds because that is what happens when you are traveling at 550 mph.  Momentum takes over.

Here is the National Geographic animation of that flight.  You will notice thousand of piece and an intact cockpit and airframe after the two had seperated.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRYLOs5JAGA

Eventually, the smoke would clear.  But it is funny how these things work.  Where is the fuselage break.  Where is the fire?  Are they connected?  How did it start?

Passenger aircraft are enormous.  A bomb that would bring it down is nowhere near big enough to blow it to bits.  And commercial aircraft are very strong.  Even if you pack the cargo hold full of explosives, you would end up with large portions intact.[/quote]
