this is my turf...Long Island (lawnguylund if you will)
hundreds of people saw a rocket go up and the plane come down...none were taken seriously.
Pierre Salinger, JFKs press secretary and franophile got the information from the French spy agency that it was taken down by a missle..
Clinton, running for re-election had the story buried....
Someone even had video of it. I remember quite clearly seeing it on the local news on the day it happened. Then, it was gone and everyone pretended it never existed.
