Last week, I received an email from a former 747 pilot named Thomas Young.
In early August 1996, Young explained, he was laid up in a Hong Kong hospital with a back injury. His employer, Polar Air Cargo, flew his wife Barbara out to join him. They had little else to do but watch TV. Here is what they saw.
The videotape began with people milling about on a deck facing a body of water. In the background, a streak of†light can be seen leaving a point below the edge of the deck, accelerating as it climbed; it passed behind what appeared to me to be a thin cloud layer and continued upward out of the frame, from right to left. As the streak of light disappeared beyond the edge of the frame, after a slight pause, there is a generalized, dim flash on the upper left side of the screen, followed by a brighter and more pronounced flash.
Some 270 eyewitnesses on Long Island would give formal accounts to the FBI of the same event--an apparent missile attack on TWA Flight 800 on the night of July 17,1996. Scores of them would provide detailed drawings.
“The TWA 800 story was big news,” Young explains, “and was getting top billing in the Asian press.”
Young had a distinct perspective on what he was seeing. For six years in the 1980s he had worked at Boeing, much of that time in its Space and Strategic Missile Systems Division.... Given the TV reception in his Hong Kong hospital, Young could not identify the type of missile that took out TWA Flight 800, but he was confident he was seeing a missile.
“If this was a Navy missile,” Barbara recalls her husband telling her at the time, “there goes Clinton’s re-election.”

Adding an older link related to “the video”

I distinctly remember seeing this video too in the aftermath of the crash. It stood out because it was a clear image of a missile hitting the plane.
It was a long range, shoulder launched, heat seeking, optically guided, shaped warhead, proximity fuzed, armor penetrating missile.
Just don't ask me, or anybody else, to identify the manufacturer or model - if *I* could tell you, they'd have already killed me.
I do not believe this....there is no way this could have been hidden. If it was brought down, it was by terrorists. Many believe the plane that went down in Queens was a shoe bomber type thing.- possible.
Why not aknowledge a terrorist attack? I don’t know much about TWA 800, I know that there are those who insist they saw something else, but I can’t see why the cover up. A terrorist attack and Clinton would be the war president and would guarantee his reelection. And how do they manage to still keep it secret, when we can’t keep classified info secret? And since Clinton is out and Obama in.....why not spring the story now, especially would have been helpful in derailing Hillary’s campaign.
I’m not trying to be combative, I was still in highschool when it happened and didn’t follow it much at all. I’m just wondering why the cover up? It doesn’t make sense to me.

Paranoia be damned!
Over 130 witnesses from all around Long Island Sound gave testimony similar to that described here - a streak going up from the surface and a subsequent small, then large, fireball.
The OVERWHELMING CORROBORATION was that these unrelated witnesses, spread over a wide arc, provided corroborating triangulation information as to the origin of the launch.
In other words, these multiple, unrelated, witnesses, with no knowledge of each other, validated each others' story by independently, yet collectively, pinpointing the launch location
Ping to one of your favorite amusements.
The One (piss be upon him)
lol
And while we’re at it, why not acknowledge Arab involvement in OKC?
Why not acknowledge that Jose Padilla is John Doe #2?
‘Cause you’re banging an intern and you’ve got yours, screw everyone else.
i agree with you
millions of 747 flights and that is supposedly the only one that blew up like that, i just don’t buy it.
Democrat (nor Republican) leadership cannot and will not deviate from their support of one world government.
Compare events such as clinton's bombing of Serbia in support of the invading muslim terrorist KLA to the force applied by the clintonista's against Americans during the clinton regime.
clinton and his ilk did their part to further the globalist agenda. The new world order needed a perceived as strong enemy. Their studied inaction, when it came to Muslim terrorists, provided the banksters with time to morph muslim terrorists into our Orwellian nightmare.
Democrats couldn't acknowlege muslim attacks on our sovereignty. That would only serve to strengthen our National identity. That's a bad thing from the political leaders viewpoint.
Conversely, identifying OKC bombers as right wing extremists or groups like the Branch Davidians in Waco as dangerous religious cults weakens our Sovereign identity. For the one worlders that's a good thing.
And how do they manage to still keep it secret
There are secrets and then there are important secrets. One thing that has to be remembered is most politicians, and democrats especially, are cowards.
Keeping secrets in those circles can not only make you a lot of cash, it can keep you alive.
And it would mean our secretely planned transformation could continue.
I wonder why. </sarcasm>
Who happened to be sitting on the outside of the fuselage so that he could blow the tail clean off?
I didn’t say I believe it...merely that most of those who believe in conspiracy theories do...I don’t know enough about air planes to make an informed decision. One thing I do not believe is an American missile or plane brought TWA done...it would have got out. What conspiracy folk fail to understand is that few are good at keeping secrets.
In fact, I am sick of all conspiracy crap...birthers, 9-11, economy (meltdown was on purpose, Iraq war (no real intelligence Bush wanted revenge for attempt to off Dad), Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor, Kennedy assassination....the list could go on indefinitely.
On the other hand it's kind of fun to poke around them and see what kind of crazy stuff people actually believe.
I'll take their word over anonymous, non-witness speculation.
