we know how well that worked out for Flight 800 over NYC. Sad that the NYTs saw fit not to interview anyone who saw a missile heading for it.
I was watching the news reports immediately after Flight 800 blew up. The news folks interviewed people all over the area who saw the plane, and NOT ONE of the people spoken to mentioned any sort of missle heading for the plane. In fact, most didn't even notice the explosion as it happened. They noticed it after the sound reached them, and they looked around to find the source of the sound. Most mentioned seeing pieces of the plane falling into the water.
I wonder when the first mention of the missle occurred, and when other folks started saying they saw it?
