Is there any veracity to the theory that an errant missile from a Navy ship hit TWA 800?

Absolutely. This is why I posted the second point in Post #42.

I don't know what the real cause of the crash was, but there is no question in my mind that a shoot-down by an errant missile is a distinct possibility.

Just ask the Iranians . . . it's not as if the U.S. Navy hasn't done this kind of thing before.

To the best of my knowledge the Navy doesn't allow missle tests near the NYC area because of just this kind of possibility. It's only about the highest traveled airspace in the country.
