I don't know what really happened.

As an ex-pilot I never believed the pitch-up story (although what I flew was single-engine, prop, Vne 125KIAS)

AS a volunteer firefighter, I KNOW how preposterous the idea of an explosion in an enclosed JET-A fuel tank is.

AS a citizen of the US, I don't trust the Clinton era people about anything.

For whatever reason, they don't want the sheeple to know what really happened here. All the intrigue usually comes down to money and power.

Some day we'll know.

"As an ex-pilot I never believed the pitch-up story...I KNOW how preposterous the idea of an explosion in an enclosed JET-A fuel tank is."

Good points. Done a little flying myself so don't understand how this exploding empty fuel tank theory got traction. Is it reasonable to suggest that a commercial airliner would depart for an extended over-water flight with its main fuel tank empty, just like the TWA800 crew supposedly did before heading out across the Atlantic ocean in an aircraft full of passengers and cargo?
