Often the simplist answer is correct. This terrorist attack on TWA 800 took place in the summer of '96, exactly when the Clinton re-election campaign was ramping up. Clinton, the great apologist and appeaser did not want to deal with domestic terrorism during the campaign since this would have been a great campaign issue for Bob Dole. So, voila, a theory that a plane climbed 4000 feet after exploding from a center fuel tank. A theory totally in opposition to 270 eyewitnesses.

This is part of the "Clinton Legacy".

OK, but who manipulated who to come to the conclusion the administration reached? I just have a real hard time believing in massive conspiracies to hide the truth. You could not hide efforts by the X42 people to distort the investigation.

"So, voila, a theory that a plane climbed 4000 feet after exploding from a center fuel tank..."

I'm not into conspiracy theories, usually the simplest answer is the right answer.

I don't believe it was terrorism; someone would have taken credit. To this day I have heard of no one claiming responsibility.

However, I find it hard to believe that a plane can climb straight up 4000' after being split in half. I would assume the engines would have failed at that point. In addition, wouldn't the gapping hole caused a lot of drag forcing the plane down?

I don't believe the CIA's theory; something just doesn't sit right with their explanation.
