I’m not immune to the perception he misspoke. He did this twice though. And during an interview with ‘Dan Rather’ (I forget the talking head’s name, it may or may not be Rather) James Khalstrom failed to corret them when they listed TWA 800 as an act of terrorism.
I could glom on to these and claim they were proof positive. Instead I simply point them out and let folks gleen from them what they will. I don’t really think they’re proof positive of anything. They are interesting.
I noted below you mentioned the CIA’s cartoon. That was such a major embarassment. I don’t think they have any idea how much damage that did the the credibility of the FBI. Between them, James Kahlstrom and the idiots at Waco and those who fronted for them, it’s a wonder the agency still exsists. I haven’t been able to look at an FBI agent since these events without thinking what a corrupt orgainization it appears to have become.
When I saw that cartoon, I just shook my head. The flights of fantasy involved were so outlandish I doubt a child would have bought into it.
The NTSB also came up with a similar simulation.
Neither Boeing nor the NTSB could explain why, if the center wing tank exploded (which is also the center wing box,) the wings didn’t immediately depart the aircraft instead of hanging on for 10 seconds as the aircraft pitched up 3,200 feet, and all four engines continued to provide thrust. Boeing builds them good, but not that good.
If they got such a basic and fundamental aerodynamic fact wrong, how can anyone believe the remainder of the NTSB’s conclusions?
