I agree with you both. I've thought that since that whole cockamamie spark-in-the-CWT theory was pushed as the cause. There's a lot of good reading at TWA 800's site.

Kahlstrom was mentioned as a key FBI agent in the investigation of the Mafia. There is no doubt that he has had a distinguished career. If we had jets that blew up so easily, there would be a string of cases, like the Pinto and the police version of the Crown Victoria. I know one other case was cited, but that was not the same thing. (Do you remember the battleship explosion? They were finally able to figure it out, down to the klutz who had trouble doing the right thing with the powder versus the shell. He even got a letter from his girlfriend or wife, advising him that he was not the guy to ride the bicycle. Kaboom.)

We have reached the point where everyone would rather have a factual Valium than the real truth.
