Correct.
Think it's speed in flight is about 2.4 mach or thereabouts.
Flight 800 would have been doing anywhere from .5 to .8 mach.
Not much by the way of reaction time available if the pilots even knew what hit them.
'Course, a 747 isn't the most nimble of airliners.
So even if they saw it coming, they wouldn't have been able to do much.
Reminds me of the former Clinton advisor saying that slip about "Like when flight 800 was bombed?"
I doubt the papers Berger took had any info on 800, but I'm darn curious as to what Clitnonoid schemes they reveal.
George Stephanopolous and John Kerry have publicly slipped and referred to Flt. 800 as the result of a terrorist act.
