I suppose the thermite and half a million tonnes of concrete rubble might have torn a page or two.

The plane might break up as soon as the front of it hits the building.

Some of the other things on board fell without being burned.

But then again, the indestructible black boxes were not recovered

What do you make an indestructible box out of?

Passport paper 😂

Some documents fell from the plane without going through the fire. There were wallets, rings, identity papers, credit cards, photographs, and drivers licences.

Black boxes are not indestructible. They couldn't withstand a high energy impact, nor a prolonged fire. Surviving having a WTC building collapse on them would be out of the question.

Weren't there reports that some of the passports were of Saudi's who were alive and well some other place? Or perhaps they too, survived have a WTC building fall on them 😄
