American Airlines Flight 587's Crash was NOT AN ACCIDENT!

American Airlines Flight 587's Crash
was NOT an Accident.
Angel Shamaya 11.13.01

1) The airplane that went down was an American Airlines jet. American Airlines was used against America on 9/11. It bears the name of our nation, making it, once again, a juicy target for those who hate our country. (The airlines used on 9/11 were American and United -- the latter likely chosen to "prove" that were are not united.)

2) The airplane went down on Veteran's Day, a slap in the face of all Vets -- including those who are painting the Afghanistan desert floor with Taliban blood.

3) The airplane went down during the UN General Assembly meetings between a host of international dignitaries, in the same city where the meetings were taking place, as meetings were underway, in the same city where the largest attacks of 9/11 took place. The likely message received by the leaders of countless nations of the world: "America is losing it."

4) The engine separated from the plane, as did at least one major section of the airfoil structures (tail fin, shown recovered from the waters off of New York, CNN, not long after the crash). Reports from multiple pilots -- including one who witnessed the crash and the engine's separation from the plane -- say they have NEVER known of mere engine failure to make engines and tail fins fly off of airplanes -- in this or any other modern aircraft of its type.

5) The federal government is on record as saying the crash was "an accident" -- "some sort of engine failure" -- long before they had the voice recorder or the flight data recorder (black box, which as of this writing they claim not to have yet recovered) in their possession -- curious and suspicious to a very high degree as it's highly unscientific and unprofessional. This even though they have no records of previous airplane crashes showing such unusual "separation of parts" prior to accidental (mechanical failure) crashes of the same or similar planes as was seen in this "accident." Instead, they specifically, clearly and IMMEDIATELY released statements that break with investigatory patterns involving conclusive statements pointing to causes of crashes.

What are the chances of all of the above known factors coming into play at the same time?

1) The government and the airlines industry was, even as the flames were still burning after the crash of AA597, urging the American people to book flights for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their fears of travel downturns are being realized, and the economic impact of said downturn is being felt painfully throughout the industry and thus the nation. Another terrorist attack just prior to one of the two largest travel weeks in the year could literally put a couple of the airlines out of business for good and have untold negative economic consequences, none of which looks good for our depressed economy.

They want you to keep propping up the American Empire with your federal reserve notes -- backed ONLY by your belief in them -- before they are no longer worth anything.

2) The federal government has been exhibiting -- forever -- a lack of trust and faith in the ability of the American people to handle the truth. They don't think you are "mature enough" to handle the truth. Your great- and great-great- and great-great-great-grandparents couldn't handle the truth about massacres of native American indians, so they painted the genocides as righteous events. Et cetera, throughout our history, right up to Waco where We The People "couldn't handle the truth" that a host of FBI and BATF agents were cold blooded murderers of innocent American women and children, so anything but the truth was made known even though what we were told was way beyond preposterous.

Your government doesn't trust you, believe in you, have faith in you, respect you or your judgement and certainly doesn't believe you can deal with the fact that the latest flying bomb was downed intentionally. But they want you to keep your head in the sand and fly another potential flying bomb in hopes you get to and from your holiday destinations alive. Those who don't, mark my words, will be declared the victims of another "accident." Either that or a "Thanksgiving Airline Disaster" would be used to justify giving some federal agency another $40 billion "to protect you." Or both.

If your government doesn't trust you, isn't honest with you, lies directly to you, hides facts and avoids discussions of known facts while trying to lure more money out of your pocket and safety from your life..., what does that say about their opinion of you?

OK FOLKS, IF WE ARE GOING TALK FOIL, LET'S ROLL!!!

The Associated Retired Aviation Professionals was formed in early 1997. Its members include former military, civilian, and aviation professionals who are committed to independently investigating the mysterious crash of TWA Flight 800 on July 17, 1996.

Introduction
CDR. William S. Donaldson, USN (ret.), challenged the official NTSB position on the cause of the crash of TWA Flight 800 in a series of letters to James Hall, Chairman of the NTSB between April 1997 and December 2000. Over the past four years, CDR. Donaldson worked with other Retired Aviation Professionals, including some previous crash investigators as well as persons inside the NTSB investigation itself. CDR. Donaldson has extensive experience as a Naval crash investigator and he and others concluded that the NTSB's explanation of the Center Wing Tank explosion was not credible. With the help of these other concerned aviation professionals, CDR. Donaldson produced an extensive report on the cause of the crash. The initial Interim Report was delivered to the House Aviation Subcommittee on July 16th, 1998.

Recently uncovered information now shows that TWA Flight 800 could have been shot down by one or more shoulder-fired missiles. The FBI was briefed by military missile experts in the Fall of 1996 that Flight 800 was well within the range of a shoulder fired missile. The FBI conducted a covert dredging operation for stinger missile parts between November 1996 and April 1997. CDR. Donaldson brought this new evidence to the House Aviation Subcommittee in testimony on May 6, 1999. Unfortunately, the major media and the Congress are content to swallow the official line without question.

This website is dedicated to CDR Donaldson's memory and outstanding leadership in searching for the truth.

September 11, 2001: Mr. George Stephanopoulos, former assistant to President Clinton, on ABC TV with Peter Jennings in mid afternoon talked about the two situation rooms in the White House.

Stephanopoulos: "There are facilities in the White House, not the normal situation room, which everyone has seen in the past, has seen pictures of. There is a second situation room, behind the primary situation room, which has video conferencing capabilities. The director of the Pentagon, the defense chief, can speak from a national military command center at the Pentagon. The Secretary of State can speak from the State Department, the President from wherever he is, and they'll have this capability for video conferencing throughout this crisis."
"In my time at the White House it was used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing, in the aftermath of the TWA Flight 800 bombing, and that would be the way they would stay in contact through the afternoon. "
Jennings: "Just a couple of short questions." (Asks if the president has any say about following Secret Service orders.)
(Editor's Note: The reference to "bombing" could have been a slip of the tongue, I am sure he meant to say shootdown.)

Senator Kerry On Larry King Live: Tonight (9-11-01), Senator Kerry, who was on the Intelligence Committee until last year, includes Flight 800 along with the embassy bombings in discussing our reaction to terrorism! Transcript.

Senator John Kerry on MSNBC Hardball w/ Chris Matthews (9/24/01 7:15pm E.S.T.) "You know, we've had terrorism for a long time now. We've had the Achille Lauro, the Munich Olympics, the pipe bomb at the Olympics in Atlanta, the TWA 800, the bombing of embassies, and it's not going to disappear overnight." Transcript

James Kallstrom was quoted on network television yesterday as saying: "this is the first time since TWA 800," inferring that TWA was an act of terrorism. (Editor's Note: Mr. Kallstrom denied making any such statements today (9-17-01) when I asked him to comment on these reports.) If anyone has video tape of Mr. Kallstrom's comments, please contact ARAP so we can get a verified transcript.

Kallstrom on CBS with Dan Rather, 9-11-01: "We need to stop the hypocrisy, not that hypocrisy got us to this day. I'm not saying it did. But this is serious business, and--and those of us in law enforcement over the years and intelligence work over the years didn't know what day this would happen, hoped it would never happen, but thought surely some day, it might happen." Transcript

MSNBC interview by Brian Williams with Mr. Isaac Yeffet, the former Director of Security for El-Al Airlines, 9/28/2001 at approximately 8:30 pm, ET.

Brian Williams: "Do you think the US is still under the threat of terrorist hijackings, of aircraft being used as flying bombs? With your knowledge of the terrorism business, do you think they won't just move on to another mode of delivering terror?"

Isaac Yeffet (English is not his first language): "We thought in the past, in the '70's, that what happened with the US air carriers, this would be the end of the terrorist attack. Look what happened since Lockerbie, PanAm103? What happened to TWA 800? Look now what happened? Who can guarantee us that the terrorists will decide no more attacks in the US, unless somebody will tell me that we took control over the terrorist organizations and we let them know that here, they cannot come."

Boston's WRKO (680AM) whose featured guest was a man by the name of Isaac Yeffet who is the former security head of El Al. At one point he was asked about the Russian plane just downed in the Baltic Sea with the conjecture that it was a terrorist attack. He stated that it wasn't a terrorist act because it left from Israel. He said it was probably a missile. Minutes later ABC broke in with the info that it is now believed that a SAM missile may have been responsible. But back to my main point.....Mr. Yesset listed terrorist attacks against the U.S. and he included TWA 800. He was later questioned about that...and he said there was no question in his mind that there was no mechanical failure, that it was a terrorist attack.

bin Laden: The man who declared war on America - Bodansky, 1999
Excerpt from page 325 :
"The Islamist terrorists did not arrive lightly at considerations of using weapons of mass destruction. International terrorism is in the midst of a quest for the super spectacular terrorist strike. There is a growing urgency among the terrorism-sponsoring states to strike out at the heart of the West - especially the United States - and to be able to terrorize the Americans and their Allies. The case of TWA 800 served as a turning point because of Washington's determination and to a great extent ability to suppress terrorist explanations and float "mechanical failure" theories. To avoid such suppression after future strikes, terrorism sponsoring states must raise the ante so that the West cannot ignore them. "

Editors Note: This book was published in 1999 and has been listed on this website since that time. His description of "raising the ante" has a chilling ring after the World Trade Center attack. When viewed in the context of current events and with 100 eyewitnesses seeing a missile, does anybody really think that Flight 800 was not a terrorist act?

Warning Areas - Investigation shows existence of Aviation Warning Area, but No Nautical Warning Area. In fact, there is a major shipping channel directly under the W-105 warning area. This undermines the friendly fire theory, which hypothesizes that ships entering this area prove there was a Navy exercise progress.
Warning Areas: Definition from the FAA & Statement by CDR. Donaldson - Much has been made about the existence or nonexistence of Navy ships in the vicinity of TWA Flight 800 at the time of the crash. The proximity of the crash to FAA Warning Area W-105 has led some to believe that the crash was the result of a Navy exercise gone bad. The Navy has denied that any of its ships were in the area. Others point to the radar data and claim it is evidence of a "fleet" entering W-105. W-105 and W106 are FAA Warning Areas only. These areas do not show up on nautical charts and a check with the US Coast Guard confirms that there are no military warning areas anywhere off the south coast of Long Island. Further reviews of "Notices to Mariners" confirm that there were no maritime exercises scheduled in the immediate vicinity of W-105 & W-106 in the month of July, 1996. These same Notice to Mariners show scheduled firing exercises off the coast of MASS, but nowhere near Long Island. It is clear from this review that W-105 and W-106 are Aviation Warning Areas only, so any implication that radar showing ships entering the area proves they were Navy ships, is clearly inappropriate. CDR. Donaldson believes that the radar data could just as easily show commercial and sport fishermen out fishing and nothing more. You decide. 1-25-01

The Case of Witness 649 - Debunking the NTSB & CIA Theories

August 15, 2000. The Washington Times carried a full page ad from the TWA 800 Eyewitness Alliance demanding that they be heard. The ad claims that the FBI and NTSB have lied to the American public and that hundreds of people witnessed a missile shoot down Flight 800. It concludes: "We, the eyewitnesses know that missiles were involved. We don't know who launched them, but we know that for some reason our government has lied and tried to discredit all of us to keep that question from being addressed." ... "The claim that our evidence is worthless is false and we want to know who is behind it. Hundreds of us SAW what happened. The FBI, the CIA and the NTSB must not be allowed to get away with this cover-up by defamation of the eyewitnesses. We appeal to those who know why this is being done to share their information with us. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

Of the 183 who observed a streak of light, 102 gave information about the origin of the streak. Six said the streak originated from the air, and 96 said that it originated from the surface. Of the 96 who said it originated from the surface, 40 said it originated from the sea and 10 said it originated from land.
One hundred and twenty-eight witnesses reported an immediate end to the streak, 85 described it ending in an explosion, 32 said it ended in a fireball, and 11 said it ended in a flash.

Letter to NTSB Chairman Hall - 2-19-00 html version of letter.

Analysis of NTSB Exhibit 22c - The recently released radar data has been compared with the NTSB's trajectory study in Exhibit 22c and a careful analysis shows that Exhibit 22c is internally inconsistent. Two different graphs in Exhibit 22c show widely different times for Flight 800 to be in the air. The graph (figure 10) which shows the CIA/NTSB simulation of the aircraft climbing (like a streaking missile) shows the aircraft was airborne for more than 53 seconds. The graph (figure 18) which shows the radar track from the Islip ASR-8 radar shows 9 radar hits which equal 42.2 seconds. A careful sweep by sweep analysis of the raw radar data has shown that there were only 8 radar hits which equals 37.5 seconds. This leaves more than 15 seconds unaccounted for. If the aircraft fell in a ballistic arc from the initial explosion, it would have hit the water after 8 radar sweeps. If the aircraft did a "zoom climb" as postulated by the CIA and NTSB simulations, it would have been at 15,000 ft or 8,000 ft. after Sweep 8 and should have still been visible on radar for another 16 seconds, or 3-4 radar sweeps. It was not. Because it was already in the water.

Stinger
Man Portable Air Defense System (MANPADS)
"Since initial deployment Stinger has, in combat, defeated more modern fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters than any other fighter, helicopter or missile system worldwide since the Second World War." Jane's Defense Weekly

Military Stinger Test looks a lot like what the Eyewitnesses Described

--------->---------->
Stinger in flight appears as streak, at impact as a white flash. Burning fuel is orange.
Many eyewitnesses described "streak of light", leaving a "white smoke trail", which terminated in a "bright white flash", that subsequently evolved into two "yellow/orange smoke trails" or fireballs.
