Does anyone believe the fuel tank “story” anymore? I was working for a defense contractor at the time of TWA and it was a known fact that it wasn’t a fuel tank explosion. Of course, what I heard is that it wasn’t a bomb, but a missile test gone very bad...

I will repeat my story about the TWA 800 coverage that day.

I happened to be home, watching cable network news. I heard the initial breaking news about the crash, and BEFORE ANYONE HAD EVEN REPORTED IT MIGHT BE A MISSILE, within 5 minutes of the initial report, there was a graphic on TV that explained how it could not have been a missile, but was the nose ascending after the explosion.

The watermark on the computer-generated graphic video was NSA (and then spelled out) National Security Agency.

Kinda odd for the NSA to put out a graphic within 5 minutes of the event claiming it couldn't have been a missile, when no one had even mentioned missile yet.

Later, the same graphic was rebranded FAA and replayed extensively.

That's when I knew something nefarious had gone on.

And of course you are the only one who noticed this graphic in the first 5 minutes of coverage on cable network news. You are either delusional, have Alzheimer’s, or enjoy spreading misinformation to excite gullible conspiracy theorists. I’m hoping it’s the latter.

I didn't know that. I just heard from someone in the missile division of the company I worked for that the missile was supposed to hit a drone in the area but went for the plane (that was a little of course) instead.

But if they had NSA video within 5 minutes I wonder about that story as well. I guess they could just have stock videos like that prepared in advance just in case something bad happens. There are so many odd facts out there and differing stories I wonder if we will ever know the full truth about what occurred.

For the "conspiracy" buffs.. there was also another plane that was taken down that was reported as an "accident". The plane that crashed in NYC shortly after 9/11.... They said it was a result of the tail shearing off (airbus), but the engine fell off causing massive torque that caused the shear. A Muslim individual was arrested on the tarmac with a wrench and was seen near the engine of the doomed craft before takeoff. Oddly no one questioned the story that was put out even though it was so soon after 9/11.

Laz, I didn't see your video on cable that night, but I was watching Bernie Shaw on CNN and he threw it to Blitzer, then CNN WH Correspondent. Blitzer, at about 8:15,announced that Clinton was going to speak to the American people at 10PM about the crash. At this moment I had heard nothing of terrorism from CNN or the local NYC TV staions which were already on the scene at both JFK and the waters off Center Moriches. The reaction of my wife and I to Blitzer's announcement was uhh ohhh.

Later I learned from a teacher I worked with that her brother was flying a single engine into Gabreski in S'hampton and had seen the rising trail impact the 747, but later my neighbor, a former NYPD Lt on the anti terrorist TF and then working for the FAA told me he had been in the reconstructed 747 and had seen no evidence of missile strike. So who are we to believe?
