My cousins and their father were sailing off Long Island and they saw what everyone else that night seemed to see in relation to TW800. They were questioned by FBI agents. In fact, they asked my cousin who was six or seven at the time to draw pictures of what he saw. They said they saw something that looked like a flare or bottle rocket arc before an explosion.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any sense of the word, but I tend to believe my cousin's and uncle's story.
But there is no evidence of an external hit by a rocket. The plane was reassembled and the FBI agent in charge was not one to rush to judgment. The facts just don't support it. Frankly, I wanted to believe it but I can't argue with the facts.
