Well, most of what I said is provable fact.
The other parts are speculation based on the reactions of the actions and reactions of the White House and the Navy and other members of the exercise, once the event occurred.
And, while interesting, are not true.
TWA800 was blown up by a terrorist bomb, which was on board.
After it got blasted apart, and started it’s downward trajectory, it attracted the attention of a missile being fired at a TEST TARGET DRONE. It re-tracked and went after the BOEING AIRLINER because it suddenly became a better source of ‘heat’.
That is why the LARGE explosion occurred somewhere between 7000-8000 feet. The Jet had been ripped wide open, and the jet fuel was atomized into the air, brought down to a reasonable altitude by gravity, and WENT OFF LIKE A BIG BOMB when the missile hit the plummeting airliner.
SO, it wasn’t OUR missile that started the mess, it was a terrorist. But the Clinton Admin didn’t want that known.
And they couldn’t tell the public that the missile didn’t really kill the people, because then they would have to admit to the terrorist bomb.
SO, “stroke of the pen, law of the land” Clinton signed an EO that ordered everyone in government to keep their mouths shut under penalty of DEATH (I’m not kidding), and that’s the end of the story, boys and girls.
“After it got blasted apart, and started it’s downward trajectory, it attracted the attention of a missile being fired at a TEST TARGET DRONE. It re-tracked and went after the BOEING AIRLINER because it suddenly became a better source of ‘heat’.”
Nope wouldn’t happen.
1.) Even IF it was one of our own missiles, a SAM fired from a ship is radar guided not IR (heat seeking)
2.) IF it were a IR missile, they have filters that allow the seeker to “see through” IR countermeasures such as flares and “dazzlers”. And a flare would be more likely to attract a heat seeker than a fireball.
Yeah the Navy was probably doing an exercise and based on the fact that submarines and P-3 patrol planes and ASW helicopters were involved it was an ASW (Anti-Submarine Warfare) exercise. Since one of the submarines involved was one of the Ohio Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines (Boomers) the Navy wasn’t going to come right out and say who or what was there and what was going on because the assets involved had NOTHING to do with TWA800
