Thanks.
I refused to believe this for many years.
Being former Navy, I could not see how, and didn’t want to believe our own government would or could force every person on that ship to seal their lips.
Just did not want to believe it.
But the things I have seen our very own government do since Obama got into the Oval Office and Biden after that which have openly and nearly without disregard to discovery crossed the line blatantly into illegality have forced me to face up to the fact that our government, if not subjected to the checks of morality and public scrutiny, will do terrible things.
Which is why people must be punished for the things they have done and are doing.
Some years later, while being interviewed on network tv about his new book, George Stephanopolous was asked about the
“situation room” at the White House, like when was it used, etc. Stephy said he recalled everyone going to the situation room “after the TWA 800 shootdown.” Sometimes they slip up and tell the truth in passing.

Too bad they didn't have cell phones back then.
So many people on the ground saw it, I don't think it was nearly that far from shore.
“The government was testing missiles in one of the most commercially dense air spaces? “

That’s the part that I don’t get.
I get it that perhaps the Navy isn’t going to sail all the way out to the serogasso sea just to conduct some missile tests, but doing them right off the coast of long island would be negligent.
Credit where credit is due:
Cashill has a rare tenacity and will be remembered for his work.
Maybe not yet, but little by little, more evidence is being uncovered.
Throughout the course of its investigation, the FBI removed all copies of Navy radar tapes and refused to allow the NTSB to conduct eyewitness interviews or review the FBI’s results regarding the cause of the TWA 800 crash. These copies of the Navy radar tapes were finally released and show an object “heading straight for TWA 800.” This information appears to corroborate previously discredited testimony from eyewitnesses, many of whom maintained that they saw something “arcing” toward TWA 800 before the plane exploded, but were not permitted to testify at any NTSB hearings. Some eyewitnesses reported being threatened by the FBI to “keep quiet.”
If you really thought you had a choice before Trump, look at that picture.
No, it was known to be so shortly after the incident. The Clinton Administration buried the truth. I remember the story from real-time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_July_Revolution it was an important date for Saddam
He was not happy about the no-fly zones. It would have been prudent for the Feds to look at Saddam as a possible culprit.
Correct. There still isn’t a shred of evidence that would hold up in court, that I’ve seen, anyway.
I remember, too. A lot of witnesses came forward. They were told they didn’t see what they all saw. Nobody at the time believed the center fuel tank problem after decades of 747 service on hundreds of aircraft. (These days, with Boeing’s problems, you could believe it even if untrue.) Some speculated that Islamic terrorists may have bought it down with a MANPAD-type system.
I stood in line for McCain AND Romney
As much as I despise Romney I think he actually hoped for a win but it’s quite obvious that Romney is a DS Uniparty Derp.
McCain, apparently, was NEVER serious and only playing The Washington Generals Designated Loser Role to Barky, who was the pre-determined Uniparty choice.
Which is EXACTLY WHY W never opened his mouth during Barky’s TWO TERMS
—Only recently, thanks to the work of physicist, Dr. Thomas Stalcup, through his Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) litigation in Massachusetts federal court, has evidence emerged proving that TWA 800’s explosion was not caused by any defect in the airplane, but instead by an errant United States missile fired at aerial target drones flying nearby.

James Keith Kallstrom, a.k.a. Jim Kallstrom, was an American Federal Bureau of Investigation agent who served as assistant director in charge of its field office in New York. He was noted for heading the criminal investigation into the TWA Flight 800 crash in 1996

animation has come a long way!
too bad Kallstrom isn’t around to see what a tool AI & deep fakes could have been for him.
Even a tank that is not nitrogen filled will not explode due to sparking. There would be very little oxygen in the tank because that is always displaced with fumes during fueling. Not only that, sensors are explosion proofed by operating them at low voltage with series resistors outside of the tank. A dead short in the sensor would not cause appreciable heat, certainly not a spark. (I make sensors for gasoline tanks.)
TWA 800 and the ‘93 attack on the twin towers should have been a wakeup call to the FBI.
Clinton’s whitewash of both events was the real cause of 911.
