Gosh, what are the odds of two airliners blowing up due to spontaneous explosions in their fuel tanks on the same day?

It was right after the flight 800 crash that they started requiring passengers to show an ID at the airport.

How could IDs have prevented the fuel tank exploding?

An odd, quirky coincidence, or are the terrorists who brought down TWA 800 still active in another part of the world?

Those jihadists do love anniversaries.

I don’t know how ID could prevent fuel tank explosions. Just making the observation that for unexplained reasons, the trigger for requiring ID on a plane was the flight 800 crash.

I guess Russian separatists have nothing to do with it.

I have a friend who is retired CIA and he was very involved in the flight 800 CIA investigation. He is as honest as the day is long, and retired. He says Fuel tank spark/explosion. No doubt about it.

Did he mention why the CIA would be involved in an accident investigation?

Yes. To investigate evidence of possible shoot down. There were many witnesses who thought they saw a missile going up to the plane. The CIA concluded that the fuel spilling out of the exploded airplane and then igniting created the effect of fire steaking up to the plane when it was actually streaking down from the plane.

There were many witnesses who thought they saw a missile going up to the plane.

NBC 4 in NY was reporting they had amateur video showing the same thing . The FBI swooped in and took all copies.

There were also Navy warships in the area on military exercises.

The CIA concluded that the fuel spilling out of the exploded airplane and then igniting created the effect of fire steaking up to the plane when it was actually streaking down from the plane.

If there were only one witness the CIA might get away with this but there were multiple seeing the exact same thing from different angles

The CIA also put out a disinformation video animation of what happened. I thought that was a nice touch give the low-information types a cartoon and they will believe it and go on their merry way
