What do you make of the missile sitings in the Long Island area about six days prior to the TWA 800 incident?
I don’t question your analysis, but something sure seems to have been taking place around Long Island in that time frame.
The Navy also admits there was a training exercise in the TWA 800 vacinity on the night of the TWA 800 incident.
Dang...
sightings = sitings
As it happens one of the biggest pushers of the “Navy missile theory” was an antiwar conspiracy theorist whose website featured crap written by Ismail Royer, one of the Paintball cell / VA Jihad terrorists- a group headed by a cleric with ties to Iraq. I guess if my buddies were Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists I’d want to distract people with accusations against the Navy, too.
The one thing that bothers this pilot is that the "official" explaination of what brought TWA800 down is that jet fuel vapors exploded in the center fuel tank. Jet fuel is essentially kerosene and the vapors are not at all explosive unless they are compressed. That's what a jet engine is, a big compressor. It's hard enough to get jet fuel to burn at sea level, much less get the vapors to burn explosively at somewhere between 12,000-17,000' agl. That one has never been explained satisfactorily, regardless of what anyone thinks was the cause of the crash. They always tapdance around that little ditty......
It was quite common to have training exercises in the area. None of them ever involved shooting anything.
When you’re at sea, you train 24/7, even off the east coast.
There’s no way in hell the Navy would be firing missiles off Long Island. If you saw the amount of “COM AIR” in that area on a radar display, you’d understand why.
I don’t know what happened to 800 but it was not the Navy.
The Vincennes was in a hostile area. EW’s were picking up AWG-9 emissions on the same bearing as the Airbus. They thought the Airbus was an Iranian F-14.
There were weapon caches reported buried in the beach too. The confiscated weapons were in the ATF vault. That vault was in the basement of the World Trade Center.
I was in the Navy from 1988-1994. Trust me, Klinton screwed the Navy six ways from Sunday. He and his baboon wife have always shown utter contempt for the military. Why would he lie and cover up something that would make them look like total garbage? The risk of getting caught is too high for him personally, and it's more in his nature to "prove" that the military is run by a bunch of nutcases who need their wings clipped big-time.
I'm betting it was a shoulder-fired missile that some islamokazi was packing.
