You seem to have little conception of what is involved in an unbiased, professional investigation. That is an ironic statement as I have actually participated in several and have even completed military accident investigation training. Conversally, most of the characters (note: this doesn't mean you) who insist there is a grand conspiracy within the TWA 800 investigation rely on reports from the likes of FIRO, WND, Donaldson, et al, who have a clear agenda and are typically immersed in "investigations" into everything from JFK to "chem trails". During my time on FreeRepublic I have become very familiar with Asmodeous. He is obviously well known in other places as well, as everyone seems to eventually ask him if he is Elmer Barr. I don't know who Elmer Barr is, but it does make me wonder if the circle of folks who follow this TWA 800 stuff aren't a rather small and dedicated group. They seem to drift into FreeRepublic, stir up a few threads, and then disappear. I notice already that you have two threads in the "Breaking News" column. No offense, but I don't really consider your "Shot in the Dark" article to be "Breaking News".

The reason I don't have access to Exhibit 3E is because the NTSB hasn't published it on its website. I did a Google search and couldn't find it anywhere on the web. As I said before, this is a hobby, not an obsession, and I don't really care to order the CD. I do have access to 18A so let me know what your anomoly is.

Well, first you make mention of people who investigate the Kennedy assassination. You may have noticed at the bottom of the article I posted today that I have a forthcoming book on the subject. Just to sooth your tortured brow, it SUPPORTS the Warren Commission conclusion.....so you may say, I am FAR from a conspiracy nut.

In any event, below is posted the 18-A information. After you digest it, we may wish to discuss it's importance.

Alterations to NTSB Exhibit 18-A
Section 4.11 Dated 1/24/97 (excerpts)

"The forward sides of the bottles did not display obvious impact marks from contact with the cargo floor structure."

Has been replaced with: "The forward side of the right bottle contained impact marks and fractures roughly corresponding to cargo floor structure." (Exhibit 18-A April 8, 1997)

The following from Exhibit 18-A Dated 1/24/97 has been omitted from Section 4.11 "The lack of damage to the forward sides of the bottles indicates that the front spar rotated less than 10 degrees before the cargo floor structure had begun departing the airplane."
