Move along, folks. Nothing to see here

...and the coverup continues.

Deja vu.

You forgot the second part, "Clearly an isolated incident." "Totally unrelated".

[Sabertooth]

Hey, can we get this placed in Extended News or Front Page News?

This is a pretty significant story, and merits wider attention. Thanks.

A group of eyewitnesses to the Nov. 12 crash of American Airlines Flight 587 are charging that the National Transportation Safety Board has engaged in deliberate cover-up; complaining that investigators have ignored their accounts of a fiery midair explosion and even tried to persuade some of them to change their story.

Naah, they're just being prepared by "experts" who know what they really saw. [/sarcasm]

The government lies to us more than we'll ever know, especially about "national security" matters, regardless of who's in the White House.

This isn't a coverup. It is clear that these "non-expert" witnesses just don't always know how to interpret what they are actually seeing. The Flight 800 crash was rife with the same type of "eyewitness" accounts.

With that crash people thought they saw a missle rising up to the plane when what they were really seeing was the plane itself rising after the nose came off.

Likewise, in thig case they did, in fact see the plane engulfed in a fireball, but that is because they saw it AFTER it hit the ground and then bounced high in the air, making it look like it caught on fire before it ever hit the ground.

I'm sure the FBI can do one of those computer simulation thingies that makes it look really real.

Few casual observers ever take into acount what investigators call the BM, or "Bounce Factor."

Another BS article from NEWMAX......file this in the tin foil drawer....

[Alberta's Child]

TWA Flight 800 (apparently shot down off the south shore of Long Island)
Egypt Air (suicidal pilot or co-pilot)
SwissAir (crashed off the coast of Newfoundland)
American Airlines Flight 587 (explosion, or tail simply fell off)

Every one of these disasters involved a commercial jet flying out of New York's JFK International Airport and crashing under unknown or unusual circumstances. In some cases, the explanation was even more bizarre than the most far-fetched allegation that was ever made.

I can't imagine why anyone would be willing to fly out of JFK Airport these days.

The eye witnesses to 587 saw an explosion at the base of the starboard wing first, then the plane went down. I listened to one of them describe exactly what she saw, to the reporter, moments after she saw it, and it was precise, clear and immediate. She had been staring at the plane fly and saw it happen.

My flight 93 web site has disappeared, www.flight93crash.com. It had quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that Todd Beamer wasn't the only one bringing the flight down.

Funny, just like the witnesses who saw a missle go up before flight 800 came down, they were collectively told what to think and where to go.

Cheers.

"The plane was definitely on fire. It was in the middle of the plane,"

Kind of near where the engines were attached that just came off the airplane?

Tell me tin foilers, how'd a sabatour make both engines come off at the same time? And without shrapnel marks in the engine nacelles that were clearly inspected by lots of civilians at the crash sight before the feds locked the place down.

I'm still open to there being something wierd with Flt800, but this one is easy. Wake turbulence (not wind shear), then vertical departed (was previously damaged, like 3 others found since), plane yawed dramatically producing high G loads and twisting engines with gyroscopic forces, breaking them off. Airplane crash. End of story.

[My Favorite Headache]

No pun intended with your handle here...but it was a shoe bomber. That is my guess.

Time for John Stossel to take on this story. Anybody know how to email him?

Government calculations: 2+2=5 for certain values of 2.
