You call this a "fact" but it is simply not true. In fact, most eyewitnesses said the streak was red. Only 7 said it was yellow. One even said it was green. Only 40 of the 96 said the streak originated from the water. 10 said it came from the land and the remainder didn't say. Assuming a "fact" is 100% true, then what you have designated as "fact" is not. Your second "fact" concerning fuel tanks exploding on 747's is also untrue. Since 1959 there have been 26 documented fuel tank explosions/fires on transport aircraft including an Iran Air 747 in 1976.
I'm not going to accuse you of lying, but I would say your "facts" do not prove the government lied in this case.
Red streak, yellow streak, blue streak... I would submit what difference does it make what exact color the streak was...
If the center wing tank did explode, there would be NO witnesses to ANY streak rising up from the surface...
No witnesses... Because the streak didn't happen...
But the streak did happen. Many people saw it...
That right there should be enough to discount the gov't story...
And as far as fuel tank explosions, only 747 evidence is relevent. Not DC-9 data, MD-80 data, or 757 data... Only 747 data...
And if the Iran Air 747 was actually downed by a center wing tank explosion, (I'm not saying it wasn't), if that's the only incident attributed to 747's blowing up because of the fuel tank, I still submit the odds of that being the cause of flight 800 to be astronomical. Especially when you consider all the corellating evidence which points to foul play...
