“There is considerable suspicion that TWA800 was downed by a sub launched SAM.”
And there is considerable suspicion that it was downed by a terrorist launch just off Long Island, as it was mistaken for an El Al flight.
And there is considerable suspicion that it was brought down by a bomb on board.
Suspicion is fun for late night talk radio programs, or “What ifs” over beers; but they remain just that: Creative or immaginative possibilities (which is the definition of “suspicion”).
There was no US sub identified as being off Long Island. There is no evidence at all of a sub-launched missile. Think about it for a second: Long Island and vicinity are full of commercial air traffic from NYC. No US test or exercise would fire off SAMs anywhere near a recognized high-traffic commercial corridor.
I am not saying that this is what happened. But I wll say that a physics-defying CIA cartoon didn’t convince me that non-explosive jet fuel exploded.
And I’m still interested in finding out why the CIA took lead on an investigation that should have been the jurisdiction of the NTSB.
“suspicion that TWA800 was downed by a sub launched SAM”
There is no such thing as a sub launched SAM.
Think about it.
