It was at night, right before the Olympics started in Atlanta.

And it was no missile or bomb. It was exposed wires that ignited the vapor in the fuel tank.

Months before 9/11, David Schippers tried to reach Ashcroft & Justice and the Congress with information that terrorists were going to hit lower Manhattan to no avail. According to Schippers, he and Jayna Davis (OKC) had information that involved a series of terrorist plots. The first involved blowing up an airliner (TWA 800), the second a federal building (OKC) and the third: lower Manhattan (9/11). Schippers noted the only thing off with his sources is that they believed NY would be nuked. That will probably be number four if they can ever pull it off.

A few months after 9/11 (I think), Schippers went on O'Reilly lamenting about the ice cold treatment he received from Justice and Congress when he tried to give them the warnings. The Senate Intelligence Committee called him and told him, "we understand you have information". He told them he did and he would love to have his sources subpoenaed before the Committee and they would go on the record. They promised to call him back and never did. Hastert's office. Ashcroft's office. All the same story.

I write all of that to say it does give me pause to just write off TWA as an accident when Schippers was operating off of these sources from OKC and elsewhere (big Al-Quaeda networks in OKC) and was essentially correct about a coming attack on lower Manhattan.

"It was exposed wires that ignited the vapor in the fuel tank."

Those wires could have been left in a tank full of jp, with absolutely no insulation on them whatsoever, and they still would not ignite the fuel. They do not carry enough current.

Jet fuel is very hard to ignite. When they did the CWT test, they had to feed much more current through the wires to get it to spark, than the wires could ever conceivably carry.

Kinda like putting a small wire across your car battery terminal posts. It's a really cool explosion. But not something you would ever design to be immersed in jet fuel.
Find out what the wires were attached to, and you will see they were not the source of the ignition.
