I have worked with many Pan Am and TWA 747 mechanics. Those guys were the specialists with that aircraft. After Flight 800 went down, not one said it was because of “faulty wiring” in the center C-section of the aircraft. As a matter of fact that particular 747 had just come out of a heavy check and was considered to be the best ship in TWAs fleet. One mechanic I worked with stated he had a family member , who was in FBI, assigned to the crash. When questioned about incident it was all hush hush!!! These guys were very adamant about the aircraft not going down because of a catastrophic maintenance issue!!!! Many eyewitness accounts say the same, on how a flare appeared to be going from the water to the sky…. Feds told these people, Nah, it was the flames going down to the earth!!!! I for believe it was shot down. Another government coverup we will probably never hear the truth. I could continue, but what’s the point?
What I would like to know is why they were even firing live missiles (training or real) in a heavily flown airspace?
