Hi LS. If you’d rather I not communicate with you on this, that’s fine. I wanted to ask some questions.

1. If the FBI, CIA explanation was correct, could you please tell us why there haven’t been any other instances of mid-tank failure?

2. If 250 witness accounts don’t mean anything to you, how many wintesses would there have to be before you would accept that their observations were acceptable?

3. Did mythbusters put the fuel tank in an artificial environment so that it matched the environment TWA 800’s tank would have been in at 17,000 feet?

1) It doesn't matter if something happens only once. Doesn't mean it didn't happen (parting of the Red Sea). But it didn't happen only once. The test has been recreated, meaning that the EVENT happened once, but potential other events were averted. For example, a ship the size of the Titanic only sank one time from iceberg collision . . . because they changed the shipping rountes right after that so that it wouldn't happen again. Likewise, there was only ONE catastrophic failure of the hydraulic system of a DC-10 that caused the horrible Chicago crash 20 years ago, because they fixed it.

2) I don't care how many "eyewitnesses" you have. It's irrelevant if they mis-saw something. Eyewitness testimony, as any attorney or cop will tell you, is notoriously unreliable. I'm satisfied with FBI interviews of these people that showed that, in fact, most did not "see" what the reports claimed they saw.

3) Yes.

4) But all this continues to get away from the REAL evidence: there was no missile that could have done this capable of being fired by anyone other than the U.S. Navy in a DELIBERATE attack. This cannot "happen" accidentally. If you work with the military, you know how incredibly detailed "live fire" operations are; how ESPECIALLY in zones where civilians might be nearby, tremendous precautions are taken. No one has explained how a "Standard" (the ONLY missile that could have done this) was "accidentally" fired. (Doesn't happen). If it did, THOUSANDS of sailors, radar guys, air guys etc. would have been in on it, and you never would have kept a lid on that. Simply impossible. And "Standards" are not just fired off except in highly controlled tests (too expensive), so for a test you would have a drone (oops! No radar signature of a drone hovering around the area for a half hour!), and no way a "Standard" would jump from a drone to a real plane. Finally, you have aborts on these tests.

So ruling out foreigners (couldn't, didn't, had no weapon support capable of doing that); ruling out accidental; all you then are left with is a deliberate launch. Silly.

Now, use Occam's Razor. When you eliminate the alternatives, an exploding tank is all that fits the evidence, regardless of what people think they "saw." Again, note in Dallas hundreds of people "saw" shooters on the "grassy knoll," but no sound evidence of a shot exists; no other bullets were ever found; no forencis evidence of people standing or shooting from the front; etc.

Mythbusters did this?

Funny it must be some clintonian conspiracy because it’s not listed in their “Results Page”
