The date coincidentally was a holiday in Iraq.
It’s so easy.

The Clinton Democrats.
Same think with the Oklahoma City Bombing.
Ever seen anyone executed by the US that fast?
It was about protecting the Democrats.
The got to the head of the FBI’s NY office. He went away one Friday and came back on a Monday and said I Want a mechanical reason and no other cause!
This eye witness account claims that the missile came from the shore while most of the other ones came it claim from the sea. And if from shore, what kind of missile could hit the 747 a number of miles out to sea?
why did he wait so long to come forward? There could be a good explanation but I was left with that unanswered question.
There is an excellent documentary available on Netflix of this event. Completely destroys the published findings. Has some great interviews with NTSB crash investigators that were not allowed to examine the plane wreckage without official escort at all times.
Bottom line was this was a military/CIA/FBI investigation from the moment it happened and the NTSB was shut out for the only time in its history.
I live not to far from there. I’ve heard too many people from the south shore see the missle go up and the plane come down. Jim Kalstrom and the FBI has been telling this lie now for 20 years. I do not know what ground shaking thing they are trying to hide, either a friendly fire incident or a couple of towel headed jerks on a boat with a hand held rocket launcher. But I do not believe the gas tank lie.
A Bill Clinton coverup for sure.
This the third post in the last two days that I’ve noticed that is about TWA 800. Why the sudden re-interest?
This witness story does not surprise me at all.
I know someone who witnessed AA 587 on 10/12/01 and what he reported was also ignored. He was closer than anyone else earthbound at the time. He was almost directly under 587 when it exploded and started to break up. He was/is the Captain of a boat in Jamaica Bay and when the tail section fell into the South channel, he went and held station over the wreckage until Harbor G (NYPD) arrived.
Apparently they were aiming for air Israel but they had some problems on the runway so they let the air france take off instead.
The ninth circle of hell waits for traitors to God, Country, and their fellow man.
Wow. Has it really been 20 years? I remember debating the causes here on FR back then.
I have always liked conspiracy theories. despite that, most of them don’t strike me as very believable.
TWA 800 is an exception. It totally stinks to high heaven.
Cashill one night lay it out plainly that he thinks the u.s. Navy shot it down.

The LI witnesses Eick, 530, 541, 649 were roughly 8 to 15 miles away from the airplane. They all describe a flare like light rising from the horizon before the explosion, some saying it zigzagged (tracking.)
At an altitude of 13800 feet and 8 miles off shore, TWA was well above the horizon for these people. So it breaking apart at 13800 feet and the main body lit up like a flare soaring to 17000 feet before exploding could not possibly account for what the witnesses saw.
We keep coming back, though, to a very troubling point for the conspiracy theorists, namely there is no shoulder fired missile that had the range to reach the airliner, unless (and even this is a stretch) directly under it at sea at the time it was fired. But that isn’t what he describes.
On the other hand, the missiles that COULD have reached it were military missiles such as a STANDARD. Yet there is not on single iota of evidence that any ship anywhere in that vicinity released a STANDARD missile that day. Not one single sailor or officer alluding to such. Moreover, the radar tape that I have seen shows NO other object approaching 800.
Third, there is no evidence of a missile strike on any of the 800 debris. There was “red residue” on SOME of the seats, which conspiracy people attribute to a “pass-through” missile. 1) This isn’t proven by any stretch; 2) a STANDARD is not a “pass through” missile. It carries an explosive warhead that wouldn’t even leave this kind of evidence.
The result is that theorists are now left with finding a pass through missile like a target drone used in an exercise. But again, there is no Navy exercise using missiles on any record that day, nor is there ONE radar blip anyone could attribute to a “pass through” missile, nor is there a SECOND radar blip of an anti-aircraft/target-acquisition missile fired from a ship in such an exercise. So, a ship just fired a (say) cruise missile drone that left no radar signature, then did NOT try to shoot it down with another missile (that left no signature?)
I am in sympathy with those who want to find a conspiracy here. I cannot.
Let me just say This was no boating accident
Cashill wrote this article a couple years ago “Anderson Cooper: ‘TWA Flight 800 Was Shot Down’” detailing how Cooper first stated how the flight was “shot down” and then later had to recant the statement to having “mis-spoke”.

It was a missile. No doubt about it in my mind.
Only question is "from who?"
Here’s a couple of good podcasts of The Hour of the Time where William Cooper discusses TWA 800.
