The first attack is one thing to excuse...it’s the second launch that downed TWA 800 that should have had General Wesley Clarke and his peers fired.

Moonbat logic.
The first launch (irrelevant) is on tape; the second (if it ever happened) is not.

Fevered fantasies or paranoia are not documentation.

The second launch was taped on radar displays and even broadcast the night after the TWA 800 attack by a local channel, though it seems problematic to obtain that tape today.

Furthermore, the 2nd launch left explosive residue on the seats of TWA 800 (contrary to the public report).

But most importantly, center fuel tanks filled with kerosense (civilian jet fuel) or empty do not just explode. You can toss a lighted match into a gallon of kerosene and it won’t explode. You can toss a lighted match into an empty kerosene container and it won’t explode.

Heck, it takes effort to light a kerosene lamp with wick fully exposed and properly soaked.

Even the more volatile gasoline fuel tanks...both empty and filled...tend to not self-explode in junk yards across the country.
