try reading post 102...
You didn't answer my question.
The only answer I have to yours is:
Did you bother to read the article? The "eyewitnesses"? The missile came from shore. No wait, it came from the sea. Oh, no, wait amoment, it was fired by an airplane. It was red. No, it was orange. Wait a minute, it was pink, or was it green? Maybe there were 6 missiles?
Thanks, didn't have time to find that this AM.
There is a common denominator you seem to be discounting.
They all said some missile-like object struck the plane.
Now it's your turn.
Show me evidence of a single spontaneously combusting jet fuel tank, other than TWA Flight 800.
Put up or shut up.
Yeah, but what if you fired the thing out of
a cessna while flying at at 3000 feet?
Yeah, sure, but what do you REALLY think?
(seriously, I apppreciate your analysis,
and I found it thoughtful and a good read)
BUMP!
Marvelous job. Thank you!
State sponsored terrorists usually keep their mouths shut. I don't recall any claim of responsibility for the Locherbie Scotland crash.
We spent years figuring that one out.
My guess on Flight 800 is payback from Iran.
I read the first sentence .. and you lost me!!
Actually, exactly none of them said that. Perhaps TWA 800 conspiracy theorists would be more successful if they didn't insist on making things up to support their theories.
Your time line is all off. The Olympic Park Bombing happened in 1996, BEFORE the other bombings in 1997 (clinic and night club) and 1998 (Birmingham).
In 1996, Rudolph was an unknown. That's why they went after Jewell.
Probably banned for not toeing the party line.
I really don't know.
All along the south shore of Long Island, on beaches, on boats, in waterfront back yards...
My brother was on his boat, he was one of the first boats on the scene, and besides a fishing trawler, was the only metal hulled boat able to navigate the burning debris.
The Coast Guard, and Suffolk PD had fiberglass hulled vessels and had to stay clear. The Navy (proven to have been in the area that night) did not sail to the scene.
My belief is that the Navy knows how the plane was taken down, and knew that no survivors would be found, and therefore did nothing to aid the search.
My bro sailed in and out of the burning wreckage all night, retrieving bodies, mostly still strapped into their seats. He doesn't talk much about it. I imagine it must have been rather horrific.
Bump for future reference.
>>My guess on Flight 800 is payback from Iran.<<
That's what I've always thought too. Too many people saw a bright light (or two lights) that looked like a flare, rising up from the horizon, followed by a muffled explosion (which they didn't see), to discount their testimony. I don't think a MANPAD was used though, something bigger. Something radar guided, with a proximity fused warhead. Something more in the size range of a SA-6, or Improved Hawk. The firing unit and targeting radar could have been secured to the deck of a relatively small ship and sailed into a pre-selected position in the aircraft's flight path. After the deed was done, the launcher and radar could have been pushed over the side , or in the case of a self-propelled unit like the SA-6, simply put in gear and driven over.
Was there any suspicious ship movement detected in the area that the rising light(s) appeared to come from?
There is no HIGH voltage wiring in the fuel tank.
And yes, it's essentially kerosene, and demonstrably will not ignite unless the temperatures are way above ambient, or else the fuel has been turned into an aerosal, such as by an impact, or warhead detonation pressure wave.
