It's also reported that there was explosive residue on the outside of the plane.

But no fragmentation damage from the missile warhead?

Curious.

The following very detailed report was personally prepared by two airborne witnesses shortly after the disaster and posted by them on the internet - but it does not appear to be included in the witness portion of the NTSB;s final report. Those who believe the NTSB should include it are encouraged to contact the NTSB direct and press them to do so. Witnessing The Downing of Flight 800

But no fragmentation damage from the missile warhead?

Who says so? Why can't the shrapnel be examined? Why can't we even see the reports of the examination of the shrapnel that was done at the time?

One has to wonder.
