If you believe a missile hit plane, back it up with scientific proof.

Do you mean like the Sanders who got persecuted and prosecuted by the government for doing so or do you mean like the 154 independent eye witnesses who saw it happen and whose testimony corroborates each other through triangulation?

Just wondering?

The New York Post, in its story of September 22, 1996, reported,

Law-enforcement sources said the hardest evidence gathered so far overwhelmingly suggests a surface-to-air missile...

The FBI interviewed 154 "credible" witnesses -- including scientists, schoolteachers, Army personnel and business executives -- who described seeing a missile heading through the sky just before TWA 800 exploded.

"Some of these people are extremely, extremely credible," a top federal official said.

FBI technicians mapped the various paths -- points in the sky where the witnesses said they saw the rising "flare-like" object -- and determined that the "triangulated" convergence point was virtually where the jumbo jet initially exploded.

The New York Times, on July 19th, 1996, reported,

" [ Witnesses reported ] a "streak of light" hitting the plane just before it blew up."

And perhaps most tellingly, from the Associated Press, on September 23, 1996,

"...a source...said on condition of anonymity.... ``There's metal bent in, metal bent out. Metal you can't tell. I see a hole going in and a hole going out..."

Or should we go with the fuel tank explosion theory that they tried to recreate at test site near Bristol, England but were unable to successfully do so until they forced the parameters to such ridiculous extremes that it bore no resemblance to the actual accident scenario?

Are you willing to accept the possibility that the US Navy shot down the plane?
