There was a claim of responsibility. It was "not credible" according to the same FBI that refused to interview witnesses to the shoot-down, and that tailed one prominent witness for months afterwards.

...they just want to remind us that they are still out there? You are more correct than you think! Terrorism is not about MAJOR actions. It is about the slow building of fear and disillusionment with the ability of the government to protect you. The ultimate goal is to "convince" you to make the government change thier policies (e.g. surrender to terrorist demands).
Thus even "failed" attempts (when publicized) can greatly benifit the terrorists as the fact the "they are still there, plotting" and "it's only a matter of time" both aid the terrorist - they want us to live in fear and to dread the next newscast!
So, yeah, targeting "one plane" - thus proving that they CAN is entirely possible.

There is a delay. The AP writers are finding out from the FBI what they are supposed to write. /s Probably 100% true. The initial report got past a sleepy editor, who may get fired, and once the FBI heard the broadcast, they flipped out and made the standard "STFU" call to ABC, Now we'll probably never hear another word about it.

That's one explanation that I'm not buying. I was in the Navy, on a Destroyer. When a bird is launched, you can hear it throughout the ship. They make quite a roar when the candle is lit. It is very short, and very fast, but very noticeable. There is no way in the world that the entire ship's compliment is going to be silenced regarding a missile launch. Not plausible.Thanks for that info. This is probably a terrorist attack that failed. After Flight 700, I'm sure our Coast Guard and Navy went into massive terrorist-prevention mode. The success can be measured in the fact that there has only been one reported incident like this -- this one -- since Flight 700.

Quite a few here at FR believe it and argue for it. Yep, and I've got the scorch marks to prove it from trying to enlighten a few to the reality of explosive combustion of Jet-A at 14,000' msl.....
To: texianyankee
Even is one had it, officials would have claimed tail windsheer or wind ripples as the cause.
[Don't want to alarm the sheeple, ya know. 9-11 would have been claimed a bad accident had it not been for that 2nd pesky plane and that 3rd pesky plane in Washington and that 4th pesky plane in Pennsylvania.]
