Simple, honest question
My friend says the people from the planes that hit the WTC were loaded onto the plane that crashed in PA and shot down. She says the planes that hit the WTC were empty.

Were any human remains of people on those flights found at the WTC?

1. Allegedly, some of them were
I suppose you could choose to disbelieve the official account if you really wanted, and claim the identification was faked.

One of the best 9/11 sites says:


Missing Bodies
Questions About the Remains of Commandeered Flight Victims

Given the lack of public information about the four flights involved in the September 11th attack, the silence of air controllers, the alleged unreadability of the flight data and voice data black boxes, and oddities of the phone calls; reports about the identification of the victims' bodies are perhaps the most substantial evidence of what became of the flights.

...

Few among even the skeptics of the official story doubt that Flights 11 and 175 struck the North and South Towers, despite the vigorously promoted theories that the towers were hit by something other than the jetliners. 4 New York City's chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles Hirsch, reported about a year after the attack that 33 victims from Flight 11 and 12 victims from Flight 175 had been identified. 5 Dr. Hirsch, who was himself injured in the attack, would appear to be a credible authority.

2. You also have sources saying
Interesting hijacker DNA

Late February 2003: DNA Identifies Passenger Remains, but Hijacker DNA Is Not Tested

Medical examiners match human remains to the DNA of two of the hijackers that flew on Flights 11 and/or 175 into the WTC. The names of the two hijackers are not released. The FBI gave the examiners DNA profiles of all ten hijackers on those flights a few weeks earlier. Genetic profiles of five hijackers from Flight 77 and the four from Flight 93 that did not match any of the passengers’ profiles have been given to the FBI, but the FBI has not given any DNA profiles with which to match them.

Five years after the 9/11 attacks, technicians in the New York City medical examiner's office have identified about half of nearly 21,000 body parts recovered near the site of the World Trade Center.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the office, says work has been complicated by the discovery in the past year of 760 fragments of remains in a nearby office building being prepared for demolition. One set of remains was matched to a 9/11 victim this year.

Identifying remains "was and is incredibly important to the families of victims," Borakove said. "We intend to stay on this until the job is completed."

Along with their victims, 19 terrorists died after hijacking passenger jets on 9/11. Where possible, military and civilian authorities have separated the hijackers' body parts from the remains of victims and store them at undisclosed locations.

At the World Trade Center, toppled by American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, the medical examiner's office has identified 1,598, or 58%, of the 2,749 persons reported missing.

Fewer than 300 bodies were recovered intact. Of the 20,730 body parts recovered, 10,933 have been matched to a known victim while 9,797 remain unidentified. The unidentified remains, which have been dehydrated to improve preservation, are stored in large walk-in containers under a block-long tent near the medical examiner's office.

Somewhere I've seen that the remains were brought to one spot and from there to the test lab, so you could do funny stuff if you wanted to.

But I have no confirmation for it.


My personal opinion on the passengers is, that there were people on board and they died, with or without hijackers on board.
But I haven't been on that plane so ......
