This is one of my favorite subplots in this conspiracy. Does anyone really believe for one second that the media would clam up about THE most significant news story to hit this country in the decade prior to 9/11? And nobody in the viewing audience taped any part of this fabled video when it was shown? Millions of viewers watching one of the biggest stories of the year, yet only a lucky few remember watching what would obviously be clear cut evidence of a missile in flight, and nobody has a copy. And to this day, nobody in the printed media has ever discussed the video shown to millions.
I remember watching the news reports on that evening very clearly. I remember the fire on the water, and watching boats moving among the debris. But despite being a military pilot with a lot of interest in the topic, I don't remember anything remotely like a video showing a missile launch. Nor were we given any intelligence briefings that mentioned anything like that, despite getting briefings on all the possible terrorist considerations involving the incident. Yet, I am supposed to believe the media had in its possession a video showing a missile in flight, which it showed to the viewing public only once before all traces of the video were removed from public access forever.
Someone has seen "Men in Black" a few too many times.
On the evening of July 17, 1996, at 8:19 p.m., TWA Flight 800, a Boeing 747, took off from Kennedy Airport, bound for Paris. At 8:31 p.m., over 730 people watched Flight 800 explode, killing all 230 of the people aboard. ~~~~ [some of those people were at a cocktail party overlooking the area where the explosion occurred. A video camera was taping on the deck, pointed out to sea.]
Not long afterwards, millions of Americans watched their televisions in fascinated horror as search and rescue crews looked for survivors among the flaming debris. Only dead bodies were recovered. ~~~~ [Later that same night, the 'cocktail party' tape loop was played on network tv. -- the short loop showed a streak of light climbing from the horizon out at sea, and a bright flash from above, out of the cameras field of view. -- People at the party were seen rushing to the rail, pointing. ~~~~end tape~~~ ] ...
The network showed this tape at least several times over a half hour period around midnight eastern of July 17, 1996. --- I saw it, as did at least tens of thousands of other late nite TV viewers.
-- The next morning, the loop had disappeared from network news, never to be seen again.

I saw the tape. -- It was shown late that night July 17, 1996 , or early morning of the 18th, on NBC feeds.

I saw the tape played. I have no idea why or how anyone would clam up about it. -- I won't.
And nobody in the viewing audience taped any part of this fabled video when it was shown? Millions of viewers watching one of the biggest stories of the year, yet only a lucky few remember watching what would obviously be clear cut evidence of a missile in flight, and nobody has a copy.
Amazing, isn't it? Hundreds of eyewitnesses , and at least thousands of tv viewers saw what appeared to be a streak of light climbing from the horizon out at sea, just before an airliner exploded & crashed, and we are all dismissed as "subplots in this conspiracy". -- Someone has 'conspiracy' on there brain, and it ain't us.
And to this day, nobody in the printed media has ever discussed the video shown to millions.
Simply not true. I posted an FR thread that proves you wrong.
I remember watching the news reports on that evening very clearly. I remember the fire on the water, and watching boats moving among the debris. But despite being a military pilot with a lot of interest in the topic, I don't remember anything remotely like a video showing a missile launch.
Too bad. Your personal story does not contradict mine. - I know what I saw. -- And I am a private pilot "with a lot of interest in the topic". -- Big deal.
Nor were we given any intelligence briefings that mentioned anything like that, despite getting briefings on all the possible terrorist considerations involving the incident.
Which means nothing, unless you are claiming to be in the upper echelons of military intelligence.
Yet, I am supposed to believe the media had in its possession a video showing a missile in flight, which it showed to the viewing public only once before all traces of the video were removed from public access forever.
I'm not asking you to 'believe' anything. I stated the facts of what I saw that night.

Never saw it. I don't watch crappy movies.
And the next day, all Clinton could say was that TWA was mishandling the families and the tape had disappeared and witnesses were being discredited. 270 eyewitnesses but they all imagined it. A tape that thousands saw but it disappears. Clinton isn't known for having the most corrupt government for nothing.
