I always wondered if Iraq was the culprit, given the date was the anniversary of Saddam's Regime.

Imagine how the “news” would have treated that incident if Trump was in office. Since Clinton was there it was just some electrical glitch.

Center fuel tank explosion my ass. That plane was hit with a rocket and everybody knows it. There were plenty of eye witnesses that saw the surface to air rocket going up toward the plane and then saw the plane explode. And the DC government wants us to trust them? No way!

It was shot down. There were naval exercises going on in the area during this time, i still have the twa 800 video report made later on showing it reconstructed as much as possible, surface to air missile destroyed it. Total coverup.

I believe Iran was responsible. There is ZERO chance that it was a center wing tank explosion. ZERO.

If you search TWA 800, you’ll find that FR was up to the challenge in those days.
There were many spirited discussions right here.

You can condense the arguments into about three generalities.

One was the “official” version: That wiring caused a spark in the center fuel tank causing the explosion. (The CIA aided and assisted in this theory, - Really- and none of the tv talking heads batted an eye. )

Two was the Navy missile theory: That the Navy was conducting missile tests at the time in a heavy civilian traffic area. I have some very serious doubts, although Jack Cashill has switched to this .

Three, the one I lean towards: A missile from bad guys. Maybe aided by an on board bomb.. maybe not.

These discussions attracted some “unusual” posters. Some were suspected to be government spooks planting misinformation. Dig and read, FRiends.

TWA 800 and the ‘93 attack on the World Trade Center should have been wakeup calls.

Shot down by an Iranian missile. Clinton ordered a coverup.

I can't tell you how I know till someone dies or releases me from my promise.

I know this is pointless but if you look at the wreckage reconstruction, you can see there was a blow-out explosion.

If it was hit by a missile, there would be an a approximation of a round hole. There is no round hole.

I remember that day clearly as I had just flown from Las Vegas to Dallas for a seminar at the Dallas ABC Radio studios. When I got to my hotel room that afternoon and turned on the TV set, the news about the plane was just breaking, and I recall the reporter talking about the possibility of a missile taking the plane out.

Odd that no obvious shills turned up on this thread. Maybe they all retired. Maybe there’s no more USAID funding for this old story.

Shills showed up on a thread yesterday. We’re still over a target.
