Oh and that makes it all better? Fire an inert missile into an civilian air traffic and what could possibly go wrong? </sarcasm>
You are still saying that the U.S. Navy used civilian air traffic for target practice. What possible reason could they have had for that?
“You are still saying....”
Oh, really?
Where did I say that?
TWA 800 was NOT “targetted”, it was an accident.
And, this was NOT a “fantastic story”.
