Well i for one believe it was a successful shoe bomber or a terrorist missile or a navy mishap or ball lightning or a meteorite but not a wire in the center fuel tank or a over heated ac unit
“not a wire in the center fuel tank or a over heated ac unit”
If I believed that it was either of these I probably could not ever be talked back onto an airplane.
Agreed. The video tells the story. And the 747 series entered service in 1970. Would such a much-used workhorse not have shown center tank issues over the first 26 years of its service history? Especially considering some of the third world airlines that were operating it?
Not more than a week ago, I was called an idiot by “Carl from Marietta”, a long-time Freeper, for daring to voice the opinion that flight 800 was a terrorist attack. Obviously there are conflicting positions on this at FR.
I really hate being called an idiot.
Agree.
If it was a center fuel tank wire or an overheated A/C unit, those babies would be popping like popcorn on a hot tin roof.
Someday the truth will come out.
Oh, and the November, 2001 plane that went down off Rockaway beach—that was another terrorist attack. The shoe bombber Reid was caught less than a month later in flight.
A very liberal friend of mine assures me the missile came from an Army Reserve base in New Jersey. She refuses to tell me how she knows this.
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.
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.
I'll take their word over anonymous, non-witness speculation.
Actually al baby, you’ll undoubtedly recall the 43 center-tank fuel explosions that struck 747’s from 1984 - and continue today. Just last week 326 people were killed when a center fuel tank exploded over Chicago....I’m sure you read about it. I mean after all, with such a history of center fuel tank explosions and the fact that Richard Clarke and Bill CRinton have never lioed or covered-up anything that could have been potentially harmful to their political careers, one must have total confidence in the theory of center fuel tank explosions and the CIA’s computer modeling of the tragedy. And you’re a smart guy, right al baby? So I’m sure you you and Clarke et al are sympatico!
