Steppinalloverus once slipped up and referred to the incident as a "bombing of TWA flight 800" I believe.....

Yeah, I believe him and you; but what can you do when the Media and Government together cover up the murders of these poor, helpless people?
I mean, it's been almost forty years since the Kennedy assassination and NOBODY any longer believes the official findings but as long as the MSM and Government cover it up nothing is going to change.

I do not know what purpose it serves for our government to have lied to us about this and to keep lying about this? I want to trust the government on this, but I have a hard time doing so. We have had a presidential change with Bush now in office, so why hasn't he allowed the true facts to emerge on this, if a missile did indeed hit the plane? Since he has not, I have to either belive the government is teeling the truth, or the cover-up continues?
I personally believe that there very likely was a missile that brought this plane down. There is too much evidence and too many eyewitnesses to come to any other conclusion, IMO.

The papers the following morning also had interviews with pilots on nearby aircraft who described a bright light moving toward the TWA 800 just before it blew up.
Harder to "disappear" a newspaper story.

They've disappeared on the net. Old FR threads are gone too because of software changes. But I found this.
Streak of light over TWA crash site probably a meteor
November 19, 1996
Web posted at: 1:45 p.m. EST
NEW YORK (CNN) -- A streak sighted by an airline co-pilot this weekend in the skies above the TWA Flight 800 crash site "very likely" was a meteor, the FBI and an astronomer said Monday.
The FBI interviewed the Pakistan International Airlines co-pilot, identified as Nasir Aziz, when he arrived in Frankfurt, Germany, and said he was the only person on the jumbo jet who reported seeing the light.
The Pentagon issued a statement Monday confirming there were no military exercises under way in the area. rule

At least the NTSB didn't handle the WTC attack or we would be hearing about the need for safer plumbing in our sky-scapers.

A full tank is the best protection against an in-tank explosion and contaminating condensation.

A lot of controversy, no doubt. If we don't have the whole story, what can be done about it, though?

That and not having the fuel tank penetrated by a jihadi missle.

"At least the NTSB didn't handle the WTC attack or we would be hearing about the need for safer plumbing in our sky-scapers."
On the morning 9-11-2001, I came through our office as some local Clintonites were watching replays of the second plane impact the WTC. They asked what I thought and I answered sarcastically, "Looks like some more defective fuel tank wiring to me."
Only a couple of them "got it".

Have a friend who spent several years with Boeing training pilots from airlines around the world on the the latest aircraft their companies had purchased. Asked him a few years ago what he thought about TWA Flt. 800 ... he wasn't buying the center wing fuel tank exploding as a result of a electrical spark igniting the fuel/air mixture in the tank.
Most individuals experienced with flying the Boeing 747 are like my friend, very skeptical of the NTSB finding.
