I just don't remember any of that and I thought I followed it pretty closely. But, oh well. I concede. I know that protocol says we can do that for the greater good (as in saving a larger target than the passengers on board) but I just don't remember that.
Same here - This is the first I have heard of the "2nd debris site" - I don't understand how it could have escaped public revelation on some news network during the immediate aftermath of the attack. I cannot believe I just 'missed it' - or else my mental capacity is deteriorating at a rapid rate now.
Surely it is not a "recent" discovery -

From what I've read any description as a "second debris site" seems a bit overstated. The explanation I've seen that's anywhere close to that is the discovery of some debris that would have been light enough to have "ricocheted" back up off the ground in such a powerful collision with the earth. This type debris was light enough to have caught the 10ish mph wind that was said to have been on that day. Papers and the like. The prevailing winds took that type debris only a couple or few miles downwind to Indian Lake. From that the story grew.
Also, there was a fan from one of the engines that deflected off the ground and skidded or flew or whatever approx 300 or so yards from the main crash site.
