"Only if the impact speed is faster than the speed of sound in the hardware of the telemetry package, otherwise it just means that the shockwave is steeper.

Wrong. Physics, my FRiend, physics. F = MA. Also, high velocity means that IF the package were to disintegrate, its pieces would have a better chance of moving through the 747 and not stopping to be evidence. Of course, no one will know if there really is any evidence as the FBI refuse access to anyone but themselves.

Remember, it was a center fuel tank explosion, but, no, you may not see the wreckage because it could still be a terrorist investigation.

P.S. If you private reply me an eddress, I'll send you two pictures worth looking at: An ocean and land impact of ICBM telemetry package warheads. The ocean impact is recoverable, and the land transmitted data beyond the suface, depth is classified, but you would get the picture.

Right--which means that a FASTER impact velocity equals (be sure you're sitting down) more FORCE on the telemetry package.

The nearest shooter was too far away for a missile to be visible on Long Island.

Som much for that theory.
