Jack Cashill is a friend of mine. He invited me to hear James and Elizabeth Sanders speak. I went with a highly skeptical attitude fully trusting that our government would never do such things. Both of the Sanders are first class people, and while I was extremely troubled with how the FBI treated Elizabeth, I remained skeptical. At the end of the meeting during a question and answer session one man stood up and said, "I'm a retired 747 captain, and there are 43 additional retired 747 captains in this room. All of us are in full agreement that an explosion in the center fuel tank did not bring down Flight 800." (At this point they all stood up for a minute to show their agreement.) He continued, "If the center fuel tank exploded the plane was doomed, but it would not have come down immediately the way the government is showing."

I have a friend who is a former Top Gun F-14 pilot and rocket engineer who works with the military. I called and asked for his opinion. He read the book and responded, "The government is wrong or covering something up. There is no way an exploding fuel tank brought down Flight 800."

Several years ago I was in finance training. The subject was acquisitions and the illustration was shoulder fired missiles. The retired Air Force instructor said in "Like the one that took down TWA 800".

The wife of a man I am acquainted with used to be a flight attendant for TWA and had trained most of the attendants lost on Flight 800. After the government started stonewalling the investigation, she personally interviewed many of the eyewitnesses and is totally convinced that a missile brought down the airliner.

Here's some additional Flight 800 trivia you might find interesting. The DC comicbook character "Stargirl", created by writer Geoff Johns, was named and modeled in memory of his younger sister, Courtney, who perished on the flight. She and some friends were traveling to Paris to celebrate their high school graduation.

I worked with that type of fuel, and others before. It doesn't act like the way the official version says it would.

And, if this was a real threat, why hasn't there been any modifications to similar airframes? Something smells.

In my most tin foil moments, I sometimes wonder just what the official story would have been if only one plane hit the WTC.
