Let me buttress your thoughts on this issue (TWA, Flight 800). You are absolutely right. There never has been, nor will there ever be, an internal, mechanical/electrical caused center fuel tank explosion on a B747 aircraft. Take it from me, TWA Flight 800 was destroyed by terrorists!!! Some day the truth will opt. End of story!!!
But you'll never hear an official government admission that TWA 800 was shot down by a missile. After lying to the world for eight years, our Federal government would lose all remaining credibility if they were to tell us the truth and admit eight years of lying. This is just more of the terrible legacy of the disastrous and despicable Clinton Administration.
I worked with someone who was on the investigation and he swears that it was terrorism. But he believes that it was not something they wanted to get out because they were scared it would cause people to quit flying and thus impact the financial sector of the airlines.
