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.

They were trying to protect Muslims back then too? Yes I am assuming that it was them!

Of course they were. Seems like we've been infiltrated for much longer than what we ever thought. The winds have indeed shifted in an ugly direction for us all.

“... the ONLY way they could get an explosion is when they added propane to the tank.”

Geez, why would they do that? Certainly propane is not used as a means of pressurizing a tank!

I enjoy putting a post on this board and then seeing responses from people that know more about the subject than myself. I enjoy anyone putting on a post and then seeing knowledgable responses.

I doubt it was a Navy test. I am not aware of any missile test ranges off the East Coast, except Wallop’s Island and that’s hundreds of miles away. If a Navy cruiser had shot down a Civilian air liner hundreds of sailors would know, and many would have talked. My money is on the Iranians using SAMs either from a sub or a freighter.

If it was shot down by terrorists how come nobody claimed the action? This would have been the first and only time a commercial jet was shot out of the sky and the organization that was responsible suffers lockjaw for 17 years?

It was shot down by rogue elements of the Iranian government. Apparently some prominent members of a powerful Iranian family were on board Iran Air 655. They wanted revenge, and used their pull in the Iranian government to get the missiles. To acknowledge the truth would have put Bill Clinton in a position he did not want to be in.

No one in the administration wanted to defend allowing a US airliner to be destroyed 14,000 feet over the Hamptons by terrorist or terrorists unknown.

The "Terrorists" were not unknown. They were all too well known, and THAT was the problem.

Not every murderer is out for publicity. Many are satisfied with the smugness of getting by with it and watching the sheeple spin it.

Forgot to add that if you get paid enough not to talk, then you don’t or else.

Very interesting that Quinn was experiencing a power failure this morning.

The weather here in Pittsburgh today is a calm, clear 77 degrees. Not a cloud in the sky now nor during his show.

And this Iranian family/ Bill Clinton secret survived 17 years? I am sorry but this story just does not get past my BS meter.

Hi again.

I am not aware of any missile test ranges off the East Coast, except Wallop’s Island and that’s hundreds of miles away.

Not necessarily. Trust me on this. And what about...

Dahlgren, Va. and Dam Neck? If it was an SM2 test, hundreds of miles would be irrelevant.

You remember Michael Rivero? I know you do.

In the fwiw department, I can't say one way or another, but the center fuel tank explanation is akin to a unicorn shitting skittles.

5.56mm

The Air Force wanted to demonstrate what a center fuel tank explosion would look like. They couldn’t get Jet A to ignite so they turned to propane. They published that fact. It had valuable information to show what a center tank explosion would look like, such as metal expansion and design failure. Seems it didn’t match Flight 800 so the results were held private.

It obviously didn't stay a secret for 17 years. It just didn't make it to the general public. You are perfectly entitled to think it's bullsh*t. I won't even argue with you about it.

I expect we may be soon hearing from others who are in a position to know.

Nelson DeMille wrote a great novel about this — “Night Fall” — made me a believer, even if it was a work of fiction. Top notch book!

Why wouldn’t a terrorist group take credit for this? Because money was the goal, not publicity. Money can close mouths. Clinton was blackmailed by terrorists. Same with Oklahoma City. Look at Mcveigh........what other federal death sentence has been carried out that fast?

by far THE MOST CREDIBLE witness was the coast guard heli pilot who saw the missile tracks go over his copter and impact the 47 above and behind him.
the wreckage shows at least 2 major signs of impact, the most obvious was the large 4 ft hole thru the fuselage from the right bottom to the left top, exiting the upper body.

U.S. Navy foul-up or terrorist attack?

I have always believed it was one of the two,and the Clintons didn’t want either to bother the electorate.An accident is more convenient.

As for hundreds of sailors being in on a cover-up, why would any other than a couple know if the wrong target was hit? And those few sure would keep their mouths shut -some if ordered,some to save careers. An American uniform doesn’t make one a hero automatically,nor is every veteran.There always have been a few rotten apples in uniform.

Ascribing automatic complete honesty and high morals to all service persons is as silly as ascribibg automatic honesty and good intentions to all politicians.

Telling both they are expected to meet high standards and tossing out and punishing those who don’t is sometimes achievable.

Or from a “pleasure boat” as part of an arms deal?
