TWA Flight 800 Investigators Claim the Official Crash Story Is a Lie
The Atlantic Wire ^ | 6/18/2013 | Dashiell Bennett

Posted on 06/19/2013 6:57:17 AM PDT by Menehune56

A new film claims the official government report on the crash of TWA Flight 800 in 1996 is an elaborate fabrication, but the most shocking part of the story is that charges are being leveled by some of the very investigators who put the report together. Six experts who appear in the film were members of the National Transportation Safety Board investigation team that concluded the crash was an accident, but they now claim they were silenced by their superiors. The movies, "TWA Flight 800" will debut on EPIX TV next month, on the 17-year anniversary of the crash.

President Kennedy’s former press secretary Pierre Salinger went public an stated that he knew that it was downed by the U.S. Navy off the coast. I remember it well.

Watch this. All these people (former admirals, fighter pilots and witnesses) state it was a missile.

Maybe, just maybe, the aluminum foil hat doesn’t suggest paranoia?

Also re Kallstrom....HE was the guy who kept pushing “the white supremicists are doing it” story during the DC Sniper attacks.

There was a lot of talk at the time of a “streak of light” that went from the beaches in Jersey to where the plane was climbing at the moment of the explosion. The media dropped the whole “SAM incident” question VERY quickly.
I Remember seeing live interviews that night (within minutes of the crash) from people on boats that saw the strak(s) going UP to the plane.

It seems like for some unusual reason there were a lot of people out on boats that night.

I don’t trust anything government tells us. And they are skilled at covering up.

However, there is no proof of anything at all here.

Yeah and Kahlstrom was a good friend of Rush's and Rush told us that Kahlstrom was a straight shooter and had no motive to withhold the truth.

Listened to Rush in those days with some regularity. He bought into the Kahlstrom BS bigtime. From that point forward I became much more skeptical of Rushbo.

This occurred in July 1996 months before Clinton's reelection bid in November.

That and the Atlanta Summer Olympics were just weeks away.

Most plausible explanantion from the fertile mind of Cletus (only because it would make a great scene from a movie like a Bond flik).

USGove was selling shoulder-fired rocketry to a middle-eastern client (IIRC, Arafat was in toen at the time?). To help seal-the-deal, they took advantage of the military exercise of the coast of Jersey whereby the ME client could shoot the rocket at a dummy-target. No one would think twice about an explosion involving an already specified target in war games.

The ME client took advantage of a passenger plane takking off nearby instead of the target on the water.

USGov attempted to resolve the problem by following the “Three S’s”.

Beautiful, clear, dead calm evening during bluefish season....nothing unusual at all. Those LI boaters where the FIRST on the scene.

anyone over 12 who’s ever built a RC plane could have told you years ago, if the nose falls off an aircraft during flight the CG (center of gravity) is gone, and the plane will NOT CLIMB....

Correct. When the nose came off the aircraft would have pitched up to a radical angle of attack. The wing would have instantly stalled. IT WOULD NOT, COULD NOT AND DID NOT CLIMB!!! It dropped like a rock. In addition with the nose gone the front of the aircraft would be like a flat plate. At 250 knots this would have created a tremendous upward rotational force on the aircraft that would have also stalled the wing. That aircraft did not climb!!! The force on that flat plate area would have been approximately equal to the thrust of one of the jet engines of the aircraft. (I did the calculations years ago when the accident occurred.)

In all likelihood the aircraft pitched up (not climbed), the wing immediately stalled, forward speed slowed rapidly, began a tail slide, pitched forward, descended rapidly, the wing would then be unstalled and regain lift, at this point the aircraft would then pitch up and the wing would stall again. If the wings remained level this would repeat until impact with the ocean. It could also have went into a flat spin all the way to the ocean.

The one thing I am certain of is that aircraft did not climb and explode after losing its nose. Also once its nose was lost all computer input to the engines would be lost. The engines would have immediately went to idle. Those engines also probably had compressor stall due to the high angle of attack. Those engines were not producing thrust after the initial explosion and loss of the nose. The CIA produced video that explained the climb was an aerodynamic impossibility and a lie.

Jack Cashill has done quite a lot of work on this issue.

Yes he has. I was thinking about Donaldson though.

Donaldson was a credible guy (not that Cashill isn’t), but Donaldson had a background in military aviation crash investigations. He also had good a good relationship with pilots and industry insiders.

Quinn of the Quinn and Rose show discussed this at 4am PST. Plane was hit by missle. Bad guys shot missle from rented boat that was never returned. They carried a long case maybe carrying a missle. Bad guys were going to shoot down El Al plane, but that flight was switched with TWA 800 at taxi time. Military knew about the plans of bad guys to shoot plane. Bad guys fired, military intercepted missle but at point of impact just happened to be at point of plane engine. Oops. Military in area instead if going to rescue site, left the area. Big cover up because of Clinton reelection forthcoming. Also related by Quinn from a caller. Mom got a call from son in the navy, telling mom whatever she heard on the news regarding TWA 800 is a lie. Son could not elaborate. The things ya hear on the radio at 4am. Also the station building where the show is broadcast from had a power outage during this time. They were in generator mode during broadcast. Quinn not sure if stations were picking up broadcast. Ummmmm.

This was Bill Clinton's Benghazi.

Absolutely correct.

This occurred in July 1996 months before Clinton's reelection bid in November. There was every reason to believe Clinton's goons covered this up so as not to mess up his reelection bid. And there was ample precedent of the Clinton WH thugs doing things like this.

Too many highly credible eye witnesses saw a missile streak through the sky. Some terrorist with a Manpad or Stinger did this. Alternatively, it was a US Naval mishap, though this seems less possible.

The plane was shot down by a pseudo official, but maverick group of Iranians. It was shot down in retaliation for the USS Vincennes shooting down of Iran Air flight 655.

The worthless piece of sh*t, draft dodging, dope smoking, promiscuous, utter Garbage human being that was and is Bill Clinton, was so terrified that the public would find out and force him to go to war with Iran, that he ordered a coverup. He was also concerned that it would virtually wipe out the Airlines industry if the truth came out.

Bill Clinton intentionally allowed an act of War to go unpunished because he was both a coward and an unworthy leader of this nation. He was a piece of Sh*t, as have been pretty much all Democrat Presidents since Cleveland, and i'm not even sure about Cleveland.

The same media cover up goes on with the black youth violence against other racial groups. It is like the media and government believe that if they ignore a problem it will go away.

Occam’s Razor Surmise: Clinton feared it was Iranian payback for the Vincennes incident and didn’t want to have to deal with just before the 1996 election. Jamie Gorelick commanded that it be an accident and Sandy Berger took credit for “discovering” the “faulty wiring”. Only in our great democracy could mere pencil pushers become both aviation and safety experts!

Berger later conveniently smuggled as many records as possible out of the National Archives to keep his duplicity from being uncovered.

Because it occurred in July 1996, months before Clinton’s reelection. This was Clinton’s Benghazi!

That's the other thing. Letting the truth out would have potentially hurt Clinton's election chances, because if the public knew we had been attacked by Iran, Clinton would either have had to go to war with Iran, or he would have been shown to be the utter piece of sh*t that he is.
