The USA tested this type of weapon in 1996.
TWA 800 was the tragic result of a bad decision by a program manager.
Because the project was “black”, there was no one to overrule the program manager.
I was once an engineer at the aerospace company that developed the missile that took out TWA 800.
I know:
1. What missile was being tested.
2. The new sensor that was mounted on the missile that made it seek out the airliner and not the target drone.
3. Why the test was performed in Long Island Sound.
What I do not know is who the idiot was who decided to test a missile in crowded civilian airspace.
The lessons that everyone needs to learn from this:
1. Black programs have a strict need-to-know requirement. The SecDef and Prez Billie would not have been in the loop. They would only find out after the airliner was shot down that the missile had come from a U.S. Navy submarine. The Black World folks do NOT trust pols or senior civvies...with good reason. I KNOW these black world guys and they keep their mouths SHUT.
When the briefing charts about the cool new technology or weapon disappear and everybody clams up....you know the project went black. And you know that you will be fired for even asking about it.
2. The coverup and the ridiculous explosion-in-the-center-fuel-tank was designed to fool the American people just before an election. The Russkies and Chicoms are not stupid. They knew IMMEDIATELY that the U.S. Navy had a sub-to-air missile that could be fired without surfacing.
Did everyone get that? The coverup and scam were NOT directed at our enemies. The voters were the stupid sheep to be led.
And the MSM supported the BS story all the way because they could not let Clinton take the blame. They always assume that the general public is stupid, and they are often proven right.
Once again, NEVER trust the MSM or the fedgov. That applies when the pubbies are in power and double when the dims are in power.
If a story like the center fuel tank seems ridiculous, it is a SCAM.
I will not reveal any details that could harm the national security of our country, so don’t ask.
Are you Michael Rivero?
After 9/11 all the conspiracy nutters instantly dropped the theory that it was a Navy missile and changed it to a terrorist missile, so you’re not going to find anyone with any interest in your story.
1) TWA 800 didn’t explode over Long Island Sound, it was over the Atlantic.
2) Though it’s been examined, we don’t have a submarine launched anti-aircraft missile, and I suspect I’m in a better position to know than whatever job you fantasize you had or have.
3) There are a variety of conspiracy nutter websites already long out there with submarine missile claims for TWA 800, which is where I suspect you got your information.
You mean like talking about super-secret black programs that went amuck and shot down a civilian airliner? Those kind of national security secrets?
3. Why the test was performed in Long Island Sound.
Odd, as I have never heard mention of any "target drone" being in the TW800 neighborhood. Was it invisible to the thousands of eyewitnesses?
Doubly odd, since the event in question occurred over the Atlantic, south of Long Island, not over Long Island Sound -- north of Long Island. And Long Island Sound, incidentally, was the location Michael Rivero kept insisting upon.
What I do not know is who the idiot was who decided to test a missile in crowded civilian airspace.
Nor can I imagine any "Black World folks" stupid enough to conduct such a test in "crowded civilian airspace".
Why "off Long Island" when "off Cape Hatteras" or "off Vieques Island" or "off Kodiak Island" would work just as well?
Color me skeptical...
