This also reminds me of the 747 that blew up over Long Island. The conspiracy people said it was downed by a missile during some practice - so 500 sailors and who else are said to keep quiet? Show me anyone who wouldn't take 100K dollars from a tabloid and spill the beans so to speak .... same here. You mean all those guys on our subs would remain quiet? I don't think so.

Actually, this one was the real deal. Over 183 people saw a missile streak up from the ground, including 2 on-duty National Guardsmen, one of whom was a missile-profile expert.

I don't buy for a second that the US government did it.

But I'd buy that a terrorist with a shoulder fired (or boat-mounted) missile sat off Long Island Sound and fired one. You know how quick our government is to deny terrorism as a cause for ANYthing.

"deny terrorism as a cause for ANYthing."

I guess they are immitating the Europeans.

My dad knows people who work at Boeing - they say a seam rip could allow jet fuel to escape ... they also said that the fuel would ignite from the back forward, towards the plane because part of the plane shielded the engine heat ... that would cause the fuel to ignite in such a way to appear that something came up and hit it ...
