Why don't you wait until NTSB releases their findings and then you can pick it apart and submit your theories during the public comment portion of the investigation?

Incidentally, NTSB reports only to Congress so the chances of a coverup are basically nil and none. The White House has no influence on them and if it was an attempted coverup by the Clintonistas, dont't you think the Republican majority Congress (at the time) would be jumping up and down and frothing at the mouth?

NTSB has released its findings that show a sled behind the P3. What are sleds for, you may ask? They are used as missile targets, that is what sleds are used for (bad grammar). By an odd coincidence, a surfaced submarine (30-kt target), the 'sled' and the B747 (TWA800) were nearly on a straight line at the time of the crash. Apparently, our friends who ride in boats while wearing sailor suits did the dirty. Our own NTSB is either dishonest or incompetent since their own data shows why it happened and a CWT explosion did not have anything to do with it. Cover-up, anyone? For those who have the NTSB Exhibit 13A, look at attachment V-1 and the P3 track. The lower left hand tick is the P3 and the fifth tick is the sled, approximately one mile back. BOSCTR radar was getting two returns per sweep and this showed something one mile back and a half mile below the P3. Magnetometers are towed a few hundred feet above the water. The only thing logical to tow 20,000 above the water is a sled. NTSB Exhibit 13E showed the relative altitudes of the P3, the sled and TWA800. The report tried to mask the let down of the sled with 102000 data but one could see through the masking. Couple this with the fact that the dog did not bark and you arrive at: Friendly Fire. Period. Since there was no explosion at the time of missile impact, it was likely a KKV or kinetic kill vehicle. The radar returns in the NTSB report showed debris going off to the right hand side of the plane, only. A CWT explosion should have symmetrical effects. The FDR anomalies showed asymmetrical effects. An object which hit TWA800 caused the crash.

That could be awhile. I've waited 5 1/2 years already and an investigation hasn't even started yet. :-) You know, call a couple of witnesses - that sort of thing. All I've seen is witness tampering. You know, coverup.

Now that's funny! (Insert at end of sentence 1, after 'them' and at end of paragraph). Just get rid of the NTSB before they scare all the remaining paying passengers off.

I gotta get back to JACK AND THE BEANSTALK: The Real Story on CBS - more hardhitting investigative journalism. If I am to entertain fairy tales, like the TWA 800 'Investigation', at least they should be more believeable - like Jack and the Beanstalk. Based on Jesuit Logic, a goose can lay a golden egg, but the question is did it at altitude in this situation? I'll watch the CBS 2-hour wrapup Tuesday, but, so far, I think the golden egg bit is a crock and even the giant living in the sky is a stretch. In summary, Jack and the Beanstalk is a fairy tale - not unlike the TWA 800 'Investigation.' Simply more believeable. If anybody writes more books on TWA 800, be sure and add 'The Real Story' in the title. That'll make it true or CBS wouldn't have done it to their Jack and the Beanstalk confession.

If only the sailors could afford to speak.
