37. Method
I never said that there was absolutely no fire.
Let's put the facts out:

The fire that happened after the crash of Helios 522 is quite a big one. Apparently one that couldn't be stopped as easily as the eyewitnesses I mentioned managed at the crater of UA 93.

Helios had defintely less fuel and definitely a bigger fire.
As I said in the original post/

Therefore: Why was there no bigger fire at the crash of UA 93

You write:
If the plane's 50 feet deep in the ground, doesn't that mean the combustibles are as well?

No, that's not correct.
Lots of small parts (apparently of the plane were not in the ground. Many easily burnable things like parts of seats, clothes etc as well.
And this brings us to onoe central question (and as I said I lack the knowledge to give an answer but maybe you can help me out here).

The nose of the plane is 50 feet in the ground.
The CVR is found at 25 feet in the ground.
The CVR is in the tail.
Therefore the ground that was thrown out by the crash somehow must have fallen back on the plane and covered it with another 25 feet depth. And still at the same time much of the plane was outside the crater.

What happened here?

And as you are a supporter of the shoot down scenario:
Wouldn't UA 93 if it was shot down have crashed by far not as deep into the ground? And wouldn't the pieces of the plane not have been blown around in a much bigger quantity (please keep in mind that UA 93 never crossed Indian Lake. So a shoot down doesn't explain simply the findings at Indian Lake).
