FALSE, absolutly FALSE!
There were some witnesses who reported seeing a missile-like object looking like "cheap fireworks" rising from near the shore of Long Island up towards TWA 800. There's no way the fuel tank exploded spontaneously. Military labs made numerous attempts to get commercial jet fuel to explode at operating temperatures using sparking devices and other means, but they were unable to make the fuel explode. This is because the fuel is carefully manufactured so that it cannot explode in fight. If there was even the slightest chance that a 747 could exploded spontaneously, do you think the Air Force would still be using a 747 as Air Force One ?
This disaster was most likely a missile shootdown and the next most likely scenario is an on-board bombing. The successful cover-up of TWA 800 is sad testimony to the continuing refusal of the MSM to investigate and report on the scandals of Democrat politicians.
