It was the plane’s nose which was blown-off, “causing the plane to rise a couple thousand feet”. Total BS. There were over 230 direct witnesses, including military experts, who saw it hit by 1-2 proximity missile strikes; then the center fuel tank exploded. Structural spars were bent inward from the exterior blasts. The gov’t tampered with evidence, lied and got caught. There is so much wrong with that corrupted NTSB-FAA-FBI-CIA investigation, it’s pitiful, but it was sold by the criminal Kalstrom scumbag to the US public as a CWT failure. Total BS. They could never duplicate the explosion from a simple electrical spark or any ignition source, unless vaporized. The fuel had to be vaporized to ignite, and the missile hits did that, not a faulty switch in a CWT tank.
All I know is the TWA 800 story stinks to high heaven.
I wasn’t there so all I have is hearsay.
