122. Actually
i have been at real military crash sites, with live ammunitions involved. there is plenty on file also if you know where to look. typical wet weight of the military aircraft were approx 58k lbs. lets say the 757 was at almost full weight. around 200k lbs. max of 255k. Also according to the investigators it had exceeded the airframe limits by 60 knots, upside down at a 45 angle. Why were the wings still attached when it crashed? Also the few plane crashes i have been close to involved hard concrete and farmland. pretty much makes a nice crater either way. So what you have done is assumed that i know nothing of aviation mishaps and concluded i have a tinfoil hat on. This will surely lead you to the wrong conclusion. My only question really is why this flight? Why is the only surviving record of all 4 crashes that day? BTW the crater is recorded at about 10 feet deep and 20 feet wide. I just find this small compared to other crash sites i have been to. Especially in light of the supposed 600 knot impact and near full fuel. And if you look at airdisaster.com you can compare many sites and type aircraft. All of those crashes actually have tiny to large pieces of airframe recovered.

I don't have the power of the US government to do my own investigation, nor the same weight to cover up or release what they want you to know.
