He is reportedly the only person that was actually looking at the plane all the while
Bunk.
School principal Joseph Delgado told the FBI he saw an object like "a firework" ascend almost vertically
Delgado saw TWA Flight 800 "glitter" in the sky and the ascending object move up toward it. He thought at first it was "going to slightly miss" the 747, but it appeared to make "a dramatic correction at the last second." Then Delgado saw a "white puff."
And 22,000 feet overhead, Dwight Brumley, a retired 25-year United States Navy master chief, relaxed on US Air 217 as it headed north to Providence, R.I.
TWA Flight 800, a workhorse 747 wide body, had left the JFK runway at 8:19, made a wide turn to the south, and then turned back east. It ascended slowly to more than 13,000 feet and held there to let Dwight Brumley's plane, US Air 217, pass comfortably overhead. There were 230 people on board.
Now he (Angelides), Wire, Perry, Meyer, Baur, Goss, Delgado, and Brumley watched as the plane's fuel tanks exploded, and Flight 800 morphed into what Delgado described as a "firebox" and others described as a "fireball."
By the FBI's own count, 270 eyewitnesses saw a flaming object ascend towards TWA Flight 800. Scores of those tracked it from the horizon all the way to the doomed airplane. The New York Times would not interview one of them.
Bunk.
You may be right but you can say "Bunk" all you want but please provide facts to back up your assertion.
One man's account against 270 witnesses and a tape. It's the equivalent of the 4 swift-boaters backing Kerry against the hundreds who told the truth.
Come on now. You mean that you are going to discount this Captain's account of what and his copilot saw, at basically the same altitude only 13 miles away?
You are calling Captain McClain, a Vietnam Navy pilot vet, and his copilot a liar. The Captain was watching Flight 800 for a good 5 minutes BEFORE it exploded and didn't see any missile or anything. Doesn't this count for anything?
That is not being very objective of you. I am being skeptical and I can be persuaded with a good argument for a missile taking down Flight 800.
You are already locked in to your decision and will not look at testimony and evidence that may suggest otherwise.
Those turbine blades were found in upper surface of the rear horizontal stablizer which suggests that the aircraft had begun to break apart at the rear of the fuselage, therefore no zoom climb. This event is further verified by the western most body being found in the debris field was a passenger sitting at the rear of the aircraft. No zoom climb. BTW Boeing said that the zoom climb suggested in the accident report was physically impossible! Heck but what do they know? The mainenance record shows that this particular aircraft had withstood a lightning strike on descent to Athens with little or no damage but we're to believe that a electrical spark in the mid-tank did the deed!
When the bodies were autopsied the X-Rays showed a great deal of shrapnel. One of the autopsy techs said this out loud. The tech was fired and the X-rays were/are still classified. Does the words Clintoon Coverup mean anything.
The FBI was directed to do everything in their power to obstruct the NTSB investigation.
The witnesses corroborate the forensics the Coverup was /is to this day a crime.
