Reply #54: It's good to know

that you do read my orginial posts properly!
I very much appreciate that and here the discussion makes sense.
To your scenario:
I think we just assume for the sake of the argument that the plane didn't cut the trees. I see now what you mean in the photo but still find it very hard to believe that a wing of a Boeing only touched one tree gently. But as you said your general question is worth looking at without the assumption that this tree was broken by a Boeing:
I would like to ask two questions:
1. How come that the first wing hitting the ground didn't break apart? At the Pentagon this question is always answered by the newly renovated walls but here we're talking about soft ground.

2. The crater appears on all photos completely symmetrical. How do you explain that in view of your scenario?
