They recovered four, three of them AT the crash sites! How. The black boxes didn't even survive.

One passport was recovered in new york, the other two were recovered from the wreckage of flight 93 along with thousands of other objects.
Like people need to put this in context; Vesna Vulovic fell TEN KILOMETERS after the plane she was working on was ripped apart by a bomb. She survived and made a full recovery aside from a limp. That is weird. Finding intact documents from an airline crash is not weird. It's normal and unexceptional, but people are fixated on finding something interesting or exciting about 9/11 so they don't bother to learn that finding intact documents, clothes, bodies, is not unusual or remarkable.
There are literally pictures of body parts that fell to the street from the day too. Not to mention things from inside the buildings, paper, office supplies. I don't think people fully comprehend how fast the planes hit and how that scatters the contents. The stuff not bolted down just keeps going unless something stops it.
One passport surviving? If anything, I'm surprised there weren't more. The black box? It was physically attached to the thing, it isn't going to go far.
