If we had admitted the TWA flight was shot down by a rocket, nobody would ever fly again. It would have been the end of civil aviation.
So, the government lied... (which it has a propensity to do anyway),
and gullible us, believed them.
(And Epstein committed suicide...)
oh bs. End of the Navy practicing without notice to airlines. Not the end of civil aviation.
“...gullible us, believed them...”
I never did. I quit flying commercial, private and quit my pilot’s license training, 2 days after the July 1986 shootdown.
