The government can never come clean. Accept closure and hope that some day a human being with a conciense will get close enough to the investigation to reveal the truth.

So far, nobody has, except outsiders.

Bump.

How could the president be so mendacious?

I guess she must have been a dim....

FYI.

So which was it? A wayward Aegis training inert SAM or a couple of terrorists in speedboats with MANPADS?

One thing for certain, it was NOT the center fuel tank.

I guess amending the Death on the High Seas Act so that TWA 800 families would receive big settlements wasn't enough to keep this mother quiet.

I wonder if Bill Clinton gets nervous when he gets on a plane.

Jack Cashill reveals FBI suggested downing act of terrorism

Sure ... perhaps EARLY ON in the investigation before all the facts were in, all the material evidence collected ...

Subject - 747 and cargo door and wiring and CB, go together

[_Jim]

One thing for certain, it was NOT the center fuel tank.

AND your proof is?

In actuality there have been DOZENS of fuel tank explosions.

[_Jim]

some day a human being with a conciense will get close enough to the investigation to reveal the truth

In the meantime, do *any* of these authors address the age of these aircraft or the record of problems with certain systems - like the forward cargo bay door and latches?

[DoughtyOne]

Hi _Jim. I haven't seen you in a while. I thought you were busy enough trying to hold that center fuel tank theory together.

[Ditto]

During the entire time I was in New York, I knew that TWA800 was taken down by a terrorist organization.

Why didn't they take credit for it? What good is terrorism if people think it was an accident?

[_Jim]

Now after reading your book, "First Strike," it has become clear that again my gut feeling was right – TWA800 was not brought down by mechanical failure.

Simply and clearly a denial of history to think that yet another B747 would not succumb to mechanical failure of one sort or another - ever again! - since there have been a number of them over the years that weren't taken down by 'missile' YET they managed to 'crash' for one mechanial failure or another.

THAT is fact.

[_Jim]

I thought you were ...

THAT is but one of a couple of the plausable causes, however, that is not the leading contender of causes once the history (including accident history) of the 747 is known ...

[DoughtyOne]

I appreciate your efforts _Jim, but center fuel tanks and cargo doors still don't explain what witnesses saw. I know you disagree with that, so I'll just agree to disagree.

[cinFLA]

In actuality there have been DOZENS of fuel tank explosions.

Source?

[_Jim]

The NTSB in it's report on TWA800 mentions the following:

"since 1959 there have been at least 26 documented fuel tank explosions/fires in military and civilian transport-category airplanes "

It seems that no one 'bothers' to check as authoratative a source as the NTSB report (NEITHER has any other conspiracy-minded fan!) for facts in this case as opposed to the loosely-written conspiracy-based works by a number of authors who sell books for a living. 'Selling books for a living' - that should be the 'clue' that these works have to be palatable to the audience they are targetting ...

[_Jim]

center fuel tanks and cargo doors still don't explain what witnesses saw

Ahhh ... the witnesses.

Witless witnesses. Numb witnesses. Inebriated witnesses.

Witnesses mistaking fireworks fired-off either earlier or later that same evening, witnesses observing flame, reflections from the sun off debris falling from the ailing B747 ...

SOME of the *best* witnesses were the 'trained eyes' in the 'flight lanes' that evening behind TWA800 - NO SUCH REPORTS of 'missiles' from them.

Could not have been a Cessna with 2 Hellfires or Stingers mounted...

Ala Predator in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc...
